Pet care experience

Paws-itively the best care for you

I have always had pets from childhood. I currently have 1 dog named Maverick. I have experience giving medication to pets as well as taking care of senior dogs. What to expect for doggy day care or boarding: -please let me know any tendencies your dog has so I can ensure I take the best care of them! Safety is biggest priority 😎 - I am always on my phone to ensure that I respond promptly to your texts. Feel free to reach out any time and I will get back to you as soon as I can! - I send daily updates with pictures and or videos of your dog while he is here! From eating, to playing to taking naps, I’ll be sure to capture as much as I can for you. 🐶 -I do have a rule in my home for privacy and safety reasons where I do not allow people inside. This is to ensure safety in my private home and space! I am more than happy to send videos / pictures of the space upon request if that is an issue, as well as lots of pictures while your pup is here! Please let me know if you have any concerns about this so that we are on the same page at drop off 🤩 - I only accept friendly dogs who get along with others and have been socialized well. They have a great time together and want to make sure your dog will be a great fit for the environment. Let me know beforehand if you have hesitations about this! Thank you. - I have LOTS of toys and dog supplies so feel free to pack light and don’t stress it too much! Your pup will have so much fun here 🐶🐶

As always - Michael took great care of my two pups while I was out of town for the weekend. I’d highly recommend him for your sitter needs!!

My dog had a great time with Michael and his girlfriend! Both of them were very responsive and were flexible with pickup time when I got stuck in traffic coming home from my trip. When I picked up my dog he was SO tired in a great way! I can tell he spent a lot of time in their large backyard and playing with other dogs. One thing to note: I implied from other reviews and from Michael’s profile that he does open his home to take in multiple dogs at a time. However, I thought week of he would check in to confirm my pup was good with other dogs and it was fine that “x number” of dogs would be in the home at the same time as mine. He did not, so I assumed it would just be my pup and his dog for the weekend. Turns out there was multiple dogs in the home. My dog had SO much fun and I wouldn’t have cared either way - just an FYI if you have a pup who gets over stimulated easily or maybe needs more 1:1 attention. Wonderful stay!! Will use again!!

Michael is awesome and our pup Marshall LOVES to stay with him! We get lots of photos and excellent communication throughout his stay and it’s very clear how much he cares about providing a safe and fun environment. I highly recommend his service and will certainly rebook with him next time we need it!

Michael was excellent! He kept in touch with texts and pics letting us know our Charli was doing great! It was amazing to know she was well taken care of while we were away.
