Pet care experience

I’ve had many dogs and cats growing up. As a child, I've also helped dog sit for friends and neighbors, along with fostering puppies and prenatal bottle kittens. Animals bring us immense joy and we can't imagine life without them! We'll treat your pet with the love and care they deserve. Your fur babies will receive proper care and attention with lots of cuddles, toys, walks, and playtime from both myself and my wife!

Michael did an excellent job taking care of our puppy for a few nights. He was nice, responsible, communicative, and provided plenty of updates throughout the day. He seemed to really love dogs and put our mind at ease when we dropped her off at his place. Would highly recommend him to anyone!

We had to book last minute and he replied promptly and was very flexible with our schedule for the weekend. He was reliable and attentive. Communication was excellent. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and we loved the updates. Would absolutely book again.

Michael was very patient with our puppy! He is extremely responsive and sent lots of videos and pictures of our baby when we were gone to keep us updated. He even spoiled him with lots of new toys!
