Pet care experience

About me: I'm a cuddler who has had at least one dog of my own for the last 30 consecutive years. I currently have two dogs (as well as cats that accept most small or medium dogs) ranging from 7-14 years and 12-55 pounds; hence I have found it works best to meet before booking our first stay to see how comfortable the animals all are with each other. Experience: I bring years of positive reviews back to Milwaukee from my years on Rover in San Francisco and am experienced with dogs ranging from unweaned puppies to hospice care (including oral/applied medications, subcutaneous fluids and more). My home: I have plenty of space for dogs to play inside, a modest yard and Dineen Park within walking distance.

I’m so happy that I had Michael take care of my dogs my precious wonderful girl friends. He contentious, caring, and kept me informed at all times when things were going well or if there were anything to be confirmed about. The girls got home with me and I could tell they missed their time with him and the friends they made there I’m very very very pleased and if you’re looking for a good guy to take care of your dogs, your precious dogs this is the gentleman you want to call thank you! I’m very pleased

I could not recommend Mike and his wife Heather more! My dog has been consistently going going there for a year and as a young doctor working up to 28 hours in a row, I would not be able to have managed without them! They are very flexible and truly do love working with dogs. Recently, my dog got very mambas colitis and needed to go to the vet twice. Initially I wasn’t able to take too much time off but thankfully Mike was there. He offered to even cook Whiskey boiled chicken and rice and even offered to come to the vet with us the second time because he was genuinely concerned as well. I have a very anxious dog, but have been able to leave him while on vacation and not worry because I was getting constant updates- both good and bad about how he was doing, how much he was barking, how he was pooping, etc. it helped me enjoy my vacation more. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has a dog that is anxious and needs more one on one attention or with a chaotic schedule like myself.

MJ and his wife were so caring towards Stevie while we were away! They cared for him like he was their own, and sent so many thoughtful updates. Stevie was sad to leave at the end of his stay with them. Thank you!!

MJ is awesome and Ladi (dog) loves to visit him and his wife. He’s even taught her to behave more and how to jump in and out the car! I’m so impressed by his easy going attitude which helps in stressful times. Thank you MJ!

Information Michael J K. would like to know about your pet

I need to know how your dogs (or other animals) interact with my cats and dogs. As each animal can interact differently with each other animal, I prefer to have your dog over for a visit before we book their stay. It will help my preparation and thus care of your dog to know his or her age and any health issues or limitations before taking your child in. I am strong enough to handle even rambunctious dogs and to carry small dogs.

A typical day

One place we'll take our walks is Dineen Park, among the best parks in the City. It offers the opportunity for your dog to be sociable with others or to walk in areas where we can be alone depending on your dog's needs. Walks are $10 for half an hour and $15 for a full hour. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Pets I sit can sleep on anything you bring, our dog bed or even our bed if practical and they're allowed such access at home Time I'll spend with your dog I expect someone to be with your dog all of his or her entire stay, including play time as needed.
