Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy Parents

We provide loving, low-volume care in a calm home environment, each dog gets personal attention, patience, and a routine that fits their needs. We have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including shy, sensitive, and senior pets. We are good at reading stress signals, keeping feeding and walking routines consistent, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. Our home has plenty of space, about 4,600 sq ft, and a large backyard for supervised play. For extra safety, each boarding dog wears a GPS tracker during their stay. Your pet will not be “one of many.” They will be cared for like family.

Our first time leaving our dog with Michael and Harley. Michael was very communicative and provided regular updates and photos. We appreciated being kept informed and looking forward to future stays!

Another successful stay! Our dog loves Michael and his wife, and we can see that in the many pictures they send throughout the day. We’ll be back again for sure!

I am so over happy to have my baby girl stay with Michael. All the pictures and communications clearly showed that she is well cared for. Michael responds to my inquiry and requests immediately. I clearly recommend that you reach out to Michael for your baby’s boarding. I was so satisfied that I rebooked Michael in October. Thank you Michael!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine because my partner and I both work from home. At least one of us is usually home during the day, so pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We keep our bookings limited to provide a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of attention. This is especially helpful for pets who do best with routine, supervision, and a comfortable home setting.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, comfort, and trust are our top priorities. Each boarding pet wears a GPS tracker for extra peace of mind, and all outdoor time is supervised. Our care style is patient, gentle, and low-stress, which is especially helpful for shy pets, seniors, or dogs who do best with routine. We follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, playtime, and sleep routines.

A typical day

We keep activities fun, safe, and based on each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. For dogs, we enjoy daily walks, supervised backyard play, fetch, tug, sniff breaks, treat games, and plenty of cuddles. We also add simple enrichment like puzzle toys, hide-and-seek treats, and short basic cue practice to keep them mentally engaged. For shy pets or seniors, we keep activities gentle, calm, and low-stress so they can enjoy their stay at their own pace. For cats, we offer interactive play, treat games, and quiet bonding time based on their comfort level.

let us know if your pet has any special needs or history of behavior issues. Most importantly, let us know what they like and what they respond to. We want the pet to be happy and have a good time while he is here.
