Pet care experience

hi there, thank you for viewing my profile. My family loves dogs and we are at home full time (working from home) More about us: My name is Michael and my family and I have been living in Houston for over 15 years now. We owned a dog for 15+ years, and hosted friends' dogs numerous times for multiple days at a time. I have experience with many breeds of dogs, from large to small ones. My wife and I have two teenage girls (ages 13 and 15) that live with us and absolutely love animals.

Kona always has an amazing time here and comes back very happy! Too happy, I don't think she even wants to leave!

Michael was amazing! He took great care of our Indy girl. She had so much fun going on walks, playing catch, etc. We’ll definitely be using him again!

Michael is amazing! He did a fantastic job keeping our girl happy and healthy! She has tons of energy and he was great at playing fetch and taking her on walks. He was also great about keeping us updated throughout that whole stay!

Safety, trust & environment

My house is average sized, with a nice fenced yard (20 ft tall fence) all around. The yard has no grass and it has a pool in the middle (around the yard there are plants and soil). Our home is close to a few parks in the area that allow dogs. Our home is also close to a couple of vet clinics in the case that something urgent comes up and we need to visit a professional.

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but i would like the dog to be crate trained. Even though we love all dogs, we prefer pet sitting dogs under 40 lbs. At night, dogs sleep in a crate (please bring your own crate) next to our bed. In addition, I would like to know any medical conditions or allergies, behavior and social patterns, eating habits, or anything else you mind important to disclose. If your dog loves a specific activity, please let me know and we will try to make them happy :)

A typical day

Your dog will have plenty of fun and exercise in my care. We can go on walks in the neighborhood, always of course appropriate for the age and any medical conditions. I love to play fetch and tug of war with them. I can also take them to the dog park with owner approval. Guaranteed that your dog will want to come back!
