Pet care experience

I have lived and taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. My boys (12 and 14) have always had pets in the house and have a deep love and appreciation for our four legged family members. We recently adopted a 4 year old Husky Echo, our first dog in the home after our black lab Shadow passed away at 18 years old. I will only be taking one in home pet at a time to make sure they get all the love and attention they need and deserve. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a visit or have any questions. I promise your little friend will be happy and well cared for. I can also give baths and take to dog parks if you desire.

I highly recommend Michael! I’ve already boarded my dog at his place twice, and I can tell my dog has been well loved and cared for. Michael be my go-to for sure. He is also super responsive and understanding, especially when I had to request boarding at last minute.

Michael and his boys did a wonderful job taking care of our cats for us. He went above and beyond in looking after everything while we were gone. Trustworthy, dependable, punctual, and professional!

Michael did a great job watching both of my dogs when I needed a sitter last minute. He was responsive, dependable, and easy to coordinate with. I appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing my boys were in good hands. 🐾
