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.

Michael was incredible and a perfect sitter. My dog clearly had a great time and was well taken care of. They cleaned his water bowl before I picked him up too. Very kind sitter and trustworthy!

Once again, Mike and his wife were amazing! My dog’s second visit with his new friends, and he had an amazing time. Constant updates, and they treat my dog like family. We trust them all the way!!! Thanks again!

They took excellent care of my dog Kingsley! He was happy and comfortable. This is the second time they have taken care of him. They took regular pictures and updates on how he is doing. They are amazing! I highly recommend them.

This was our first time using Michael to watch our dog, Leo, and we had such a great experience! He sent us detailed updates and plenty of pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He took wonderful care of Leo and made sure he stayed active, entertained, and happy throughout his stay. It was clear that Leo was comfortable and truly enjoyed his time with him. We would absolutely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Absolutely amazing family that took care of my dog like their own! He did not want to leave when we picked him up! Michael sent so many pics and videos everyday, and also provided multiple daily updates throughout the day, without us even asking for them. This whole experience has been our best yet on Rover. Michael and his wife are now top of our list!

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.
