Your dog will love hanging out here

Pet care experience

Our family loves dogs. We have a new Vizsla in our house, born July 2018. He is our fourth Vizsla over the last 30 years. Large fully fenced yard, lots of great walking areas in our neighborhood to let the dogs run free. Your dog will be come apart of our family while he/she is here. I am sure it will be hard for us to let you take them back home after your vacation. We look forward to spending time with your "loved one" Why I love dog sitting Our family, husband, wife and two teenage boys, have had Vizslas for 25 years. We also grew up with dogs. Our dogs love other dogs and will be welcomed by our dogs and our family Meet my pets We have one vizsla that enjoy playing in our fully fenced backyard or laying in the sun on the deck. About my yard Fully fenced backyard, large deck, grass and small hillside with trees. Our dogs are trained to only go the bathroom down the hillside.

We were welcome and felt comfortable the minute we stepped into Michael’s home. Michael and his wife instantly made our pet feel right at home too. This was our first experience booking through Rover.com and it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone that wants superb care for their pet.

From the moment I met Michael, I felt comfortable and my dog absolutely loved being in his house. Michael and his wife were very welcoming and focused on my dog, Bob. When I left the meet and greet, my anxiety about leaving Bob with strangers disappeared because I felt Bob would be well cared for. When the day came, I gathered up all Bob's stuff (bed, mats, bowls, snacks, toys, blanket, sweater) like a helicopter parent and delivered him to Michael. Bob was so excited and running all over exploring. I felt like a parent dropping my kid off on their first day of Kindergarten but Bob was like, I'm on vacation, too - see ya! Michael sent great pictures which reassured me that Bob was doing well. This was my first experience with a professional dog sitter and boarding and it was a wonderful experience. Would not hesitate to book with Michael again.

My dog, Enzo had so much fun there, I wasn’t worried at all. My only worry was Enzo might not want to come home with us, because he enjoyed his stay a lot. He played, ran and was very tired when we took him home. Thanks again!

Michael and Karen are really terrific! Our pup has stayed many times, and they are always so welcoming when Gigi gets there. They are wonderful at sending periodic photos and updates, so I always know things are going well. Great communication and Gigi always comes home happy. Highly recommended (but only for the weeks we don’t need them!!!) Ha!!
