Michael was a fantastic host for my energetic, big doodle. He sent great updates and tons of pictures, and really put my anxious dog-mom heart at ease! He was great to communicate with and I hope he will host my pup again in the future!

Doggy Day Care • May 10, 2026

I had a great experience with Michael taking care of my dog Casper. They were very kind, responsible, and treated him like family. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and they kept me updated during the stay. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave. Highly recommended!

Will can be finicky about the people she’s around. Michael did a fantastic job with her. She actually came out of her shell a little bit and even got along with the other dogs at the house. I will definitely be using Michael again

Schedule

My wife and I both work from home (teaching), my son goes to school from 8-4. We usually walk around the neighborhood (Walnut Hill, Petersburg), which is safe, quiet with good sidewalk. We also play games and let them run over in our fenced in back yard. The yard is steep so they get a lot of exercise just from playing.

We have a 6 years old kid and a 4 years old Goldendoodle. So it's important that your pup can to get along with kid and other dog. We would love to know what makes your dog happy and comfortable.
