Dogs are family
Pet care experience
I have cared for dogs since I was 8...mine, family and friends. The most current group has been our three corgis and a "temporary adoptee" (of four years). He was home when he hit the door.
Reviews
Thank you for keeping in contact and sending pictures!
Our boy Sonny enjoyed Michael’s visit. Michael didn’t just feed him and let him out for a break. He spent time giving him love and attention. We will definitely schedule Michael again soon.
Michael did a good job taking good care of Sienna. He came and took her out, gave her lunch and water. She was anxious to get back in though.
Weekly Michael looks after my senior boy and this routine has helped reduce the anxiety my pup has. If you have a weekly need, then Michael is the one for the job. He works hard to get to know your pup’s schedule and preferences on everything. It makes it easier on your fur baby to have that easy transition and it gives me peace of mind. My baby is a senior special needs dog and there are a ton of particulars that need to be addressed weekly and Michael has taken care of it as I have asked.

Our 2 dogs are older, and we have 2 cats, as well, so I won't care for other dogs in my home at this time. I enjoy visits with new families. Getting to know the parents and their pups. Talking with families to keep their routines as close as possible to their daily schedule. Learning likes, dislikes, food, water, play habits is essential. When you leave your pet in my care, it's my hope you'll be relaxed and confident they are in good hands. I hope you enjoy pictures during my time with your pet. Seeing them happy to see me and seeing you content is my goal.
Information Michael R. would like to know about your pet
I expect he family will fill me in on health issues/limitations, diets, bathroom habits, behavorial triggers and their daily routines. Every dog and family are different. Listening and taking good notes will help insure a positive outcome, and hopefully an ongoing relationship. Note: first aid/CPR is practical experience; be advised, I do not have a formal certification at this time. I am well-versed in DM care, unfortunately.
A typical day
Taking time with the family will define what I do with their babies. I will do my best to do what they're used to. Some are active, some rather get petted until they snooze...and everything in between.

My schedule is flexible. Late bookings are fine, I can be there when you need me with little to no notice. Saving the day makes me happy
