Experienced Pet Care

Pet care experience

My wife and I have years of experience caring for animals. I grew up with a wide range of critters while she acquired a bachelor's degree in Zoology and now works as a vet technician at an animal hospital. We understand each pet has its own needs and we strive to make this the best experience possible for your furry family member.

Michael has taken care of his pup for 2 years now. That includes getting him fixed, up to date on shots, groomed, walking him , loving & playing with him.

We had Michael dog set for us when we went on an over night trip. He was trust worthy and responsible being alone in our home. Our little dog was well taken care of and we had peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Not too long ago my family and I had to leave town for another family member who was hospitalized on short notice. We had to stay in a hotel and of course they didn't allow pets. We would have looked for a hotel that did allow pets but as I previously stated it was all on short notice. Naturally we couldn't leave our dog, Roxie, home alone so we had to quickly find someone to take care of her while were gone for a few days. And along comes Michael, he's such a sweet kid and he really took care of Roxie while we were away, made sure she was let out, fed, watered and even played with her. I'm so thankful for the help Michael has provided and should I need a dog sitter in the future I won't hesitate to contact him.

Michael was great with my two year old puppy. He was very kind and made sure he knew everything he could beforehand. Hire him anytime, you won't regret it.

Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any type of medication, special care requirements, or zoonotic illnesses (illness that can be given to humans) we require you to inform us 24 hours prior to drop-off to ensure proper preparation is set up. Failure to report may result in disapproval from future stays.

A typical day

Usually we spend our days with our two adult dogs Buddy & Lizzie. Our preferred activities are fetch in the yard, tug of war, or a nice drive/walk. These would be the same activities I would do with your dog.
