Ratings and reviews
Michael was flat out amazing. My pup can be a bit hesitant to new people but immediately loved him upon meeting. He took her on multiple long walks making sure to keep her well exercised and entertained. He sent lots of photos which helped me as I have never left my dog with someone we didn't already know before this. We will be sure to book with Michael again!
Michael was fantastic at communicating and sending pictures! We felt relaxed knowing Oskar was doing great for the photos. Thanks, Michael—we’re definitely coming back to get your services!
Michael took good care of Zeus, although Zeus wasn't the best behaved, Michael continued to work through the concerns to make Zeus as comfortable as he could. Long walks and outside play on a daily basis was very beneficial for my pup. I would recommend Michael for your dog, and thank him for working through Zeus's difficulties.
Michael was amazing with Ronnie! You could tell he genuinely cared for him & was sad to see him go which meant so much to us! Will definitely be using him again!
Michael had great communication and I really appreciated receiving photos of my doggie! I know she had a great time with him and was well cared for. Michael was very flexible which we appreciate with our crazy schedules and obviously really liked Rosie. We look forward to using him again!
Bluey, our French bulldog, loved spending time with Michael over the weekend. Would definitely book again.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are the cornerstones of my pet care philosophy. With a deep understanding of the importance of trust, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your furry friends above all else. Creating a nurturing environment is paramount in my care routine, ensuring that your pets feel comfortable, loved, and at home whether they're with me for a walk, a stay, or in the familiar surroundings of their own home. I understand the trust you place in me when entrusting your pets to my care, and I take that responsibility seriously, providing reliable, compassionate, and professional service at all times. Rest assured, your pets will be treated with the same love, respect, and attention to detail as if they were my own, fostering a bond built on trust, safety, and a nurturing environment.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog begins with a warm greeting and gentle reassurance, helping them feel comfortable and at ease in their temporary home away from home. Morning starts with a refreshing walk on the beach or in the park, allowing the dog to stretch their legs, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the sights and smells of the neighborhood. Following the walk, it's time for breakfast, served according to the dog's specific dietary needs and preferences, ensuring they start the day with a nutritious meal. Throughout the day, I provide personalized attention and companionship, engaging in interactive play sessions, offering plenty of cuddles and affection, and tailoring activities to suit the dog's individual personality and energy level. For dogs who enjoy socialization, trips to the dog park or playdates with other friendly pups may be on the agenda, allowing them to burn off energy and enjoy the company of their canine companions. As the day winds down, I ensure the dog has opportunities for rest and relaxation, providing a comfortable and cozy space for napping or quiet time as needed. Evening brings another leisurely walk, followed by dinner served with care and attention to detail, and perhaps some extra cuddles and affection before bedtime. Before tucking them in for the night, I ensure the dog has everything they need for a peaceful slumber, whether it's a favorite toy, a cozy blanket, or simply a reassuring presence by their side. Throughout the day, I maintain open communication with the dog's owners, providing updates, photos, and peace of mind that their beloved pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in my care.

- Dogs daily routine, including feeding times, exercising needs, favorite toys and any specific instructions. Is your dog social and outgoing or reserved and cautious? This is helpful so I can approach them with patience and understanding and set a pace for interactions and to provide them with the space they need to feel comfortable. ⚠️Are there any stressors or specific behavior patterns to look out for? I will always keep open communication and updates as necessary.
