Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m semi-retired and home all day, which means your dog gets my full attention from sunrise to bedtime. We enjoy multiple walks, fresh air, and playtime in my fenced backyard, plus quiet cuddle time indoors. I’m dependable, experienced, and treat every pup like my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Every pet is treated like family in my home. I’m here all day to provide constant attention, regular walks, and plenty of play in my secure, fenced backyard. Dogs enjoy a balance of outdoor adventures and cozy indoor relaxation, with lots of love, belly rubs, and one-on-one time. I keep the environment clean, safe, and stress-free, making sure each pup feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for from the moment they arrive.

Information Michael R. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to learn all the details that will help me keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. This includes their age, breed, and personality; daily routines; feeding schedule and dietary needs; favorite activities; energy level; and how they do around other animals or people. I also ask about health concerns, medications, and any behavioral triggers so I can provide the right environment and avoid stress. The more I know ahead of time, the more I can tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs.
A typical day
Every day is an adventure for the dogs I care for! We’ll enjoy multiple daily walks through quiet neighborhood streets or scenic trails, depending on your pet’s energy level. There’s plenty of supervised playtime in my large, secure backyard, complete with games of fetch, tug-of-war, and chase. Indoors, we relax with cuddle time, gentle brushing, or puzzle toys to keep minds busy. I adapt activities to match each dog’s personality and preferences, ensuring they’re happy, stimulated, and loved during their stay.

Reviews
Michael was truly unbelievable and definitely will be rebooking. He sat our 2 labs and they immediately took to him when we met him prior to booking - rare for our yellow, who sometimes gets a bit nervous around new people, but he was immediately at ease. Michael is clearly a chap who knows dogs and who dogs know is a good, loving person. Michael was also super responsive and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. The dogs were clearly well settled and happy. THANK YOU MICHAEL! Truly. Dare I say, I can't wait to book again. Don't hesitate - this guy is a gem!
Cortina was in fantastic hands with Michael! I appreciated the frequent updates and photos, and she was clearly a happy pup with the other dogs there! I will definitely be booking with Michael again. Thanks for taking great care of Cortina.
Michael did a great job caring for our senior dog and sending us pics and updates. We will definitely return.
