Availability
I work from home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive and flexible care for the dogs. This setup ensures your pet receives companionship and supervision throughout the day, creating a calm and consistent environment. Additionally, I have a special needs daughter who adores dogs and loves to give extra attention to those who enjoy it. Her genuine affection and care add an extra layer of love and personalized attention to every pet in my care. Together, my work-from-home routine and family environment create a warm, safe, and engaging space where your dog will feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for at all times.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can play freely and comfortably. They can enjoy outdoor play and exercise, as well as do their bathroom needs outside, in addition to their regular walks—done according to your instructions and preferences. Safety is my top priority. I closely supervise all pets in my care and ensure they are kept in a safe, calm environment. I follow all your specific guidelines regarding their care, diet, and routines to make sure they feel secure and happy during their stay. You can trust that your dog will be loved, well-cared for, and protected at all times, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Please share any special notes, tendencies, or schedules for your pets ahead of time. I like to stay organized, especially when caring for multiple pets at once. Thank you in advance!
A typical day
My day begins early in the morning by welcoming the dogs into my home. I have a spacious backyard filled with plenty of dog toys, where the dogs can play, run around, and burn off some energy. I make sure each dog gets plenty of individual attention, including petting, cuddling, and grooming to help them feel comfortable and loved. Throughout the day, I supervise playtime, ensuring everyone stays safe and happy. My daughter often joins in, and we enjoy bonding over the dogs — whether it’s playing fetch, training, or just relaxing together. The dogs seem to thrive with the outdoor activities and the loving environment we provide. In the afternoons, I might give them some special treats, do some basic training, or take them for a walk if the weather allows. The day wraps up with more cuddles and grooming, making sure each dog is relaxed and ready for a restful night. It's a rewarding routine that combines my love for dogs, outdoor play, and quality time with my daughter. Seeing the dogs happy and well-cared-for makes every day special!

Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Mike (MJ) and I provide a safe, loving, and reliable home for dogs with wife and kid’s. Since we both work from home, your dog(s) will get plenty of attention, supervision, care, and companionship throughout the day. We also offer convenient pick-up and drop-off services to add to your convenience. As dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. We treat every dog like family and focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and fun environment where they feel right at home.
