Years of foster/rescue experience!

Pet care experience

As a true animal lover, if its furry, wet, got scales, flies, slithers, or crawls, I love them all! I've volunteered for my local rescues foster programs since 2014 and have cared for 50+ dogs. Through and through I've learned no dog is the same, each requiring their own special training and care package. I've cared for all types of breeds, ages, sizes, personalities and even those with brutal past histories or current health issues. My foster experience ranges with lengths of time from mere days to 6 months with the same animal. No matter what their make up is, our home is their home the moment they enter and we are family up until they find their furever home. I love each and every one as my own and cherish the opportunities I've been given to share my life with them. I am also a photography enthusiast and love catching all pups in their most regal and silly moments. I'd love to add your pup to the gallery and share them with you if you're interested. Now I'm looking to share all this experience with the fellow community of pet owners and I look forward to meeting your furry loved one(s)! I work from home full time, so hanging out with our boy Koda is an all day affair. We head out for morning walks and park time, take a few laps during the mid day, and head back out for a late afternoon/evening park session. I also have a lot of flexibility to fit in lots of sporadic play sessions and potty breaks during work breaks throughout the day. We have a dog of our own, Koda, who absolutely loves all dogs. He is experienced with puppies and super small breeds as well as loves to get down with the giant breeds. No matter your dog's preference, Koda will be happy to keep yours company snoozing or playing all day long. We have 2 bedrooms and a laundry room that can host your dog's crate/bed if they prefer some alone time, or they can lounge in the office with Koda and I as well during down time.

Michael was very communicative and understanding of Luca's age which made me comfortable. I felt at ease while he was there and look forward to scheduling with him again soon.

Super easy to work with and flexible in helping out when I needed someone to check-in on my dogs with short notice!

Mike was wonderful with my little dog, Pongo! He sent frequent updates and photos/videos while we were away and made Pongo super comfortable, while taking him out for walks and playing at the park. Mike is totally trustworthy and I would highly recommend him and book again. Thank you, Mike, so much for everything and for taking such good care of our boy!

Please let me know if your dog has any special medical needs, naughty habits to watch out for, specific fears or intolerances to be mindful of.

A typical day

I'm always looking to spend time outdoors so the more time running around we can share together the better! If it is a weekend or light workday, we'll shoot out to Golden or Morrison for a hike (pending your dog's energy/exercise ability). We also live right by Sunken Gardens park and enjoy 1-3 play sessions their daily. I am happy to work with off leash or always leashed preferences. If your dog is a runner, I'm game for a few miles a day as well! The Cherry Creek Trail is just across the street for a safe space to run (still leashed) without traffic.
