Pet care experience

I am extremely passionate about animals in general but dogs have a very special spot in my heart. I have the experience and knowledge to care for dogs of all breeds. I believe this is important because the breed of dog does matter and how they like to be interacted with! I have a privacy fenced yard that your dog will be able to get all their energy out in but also tie out cables for the escape artists, so no need to worry about your dog running loose 😁 You can rest assured your pet will be treated as one of my own while staying with me!

My dog has stayed with Michael a few times and always has fun! Michael has a nice backyard for the dogs to run around in and he pays attention to your dog’s behavior so that he can meet the individual needs of your dog. He is also flexible with pickup and drop off times and has been very helpful.

Summer can be an anxious dog, but loves going to Michael's! He takes amazing care of her and we are so grateful for his help every time!

Michael is great to work with. He is extremely flexible with pick up/drop off. I have now taken my pup to Michael twice and each time he has given updates and sent pictures, which I really appreciate. I have a very high energy dog and he has come home tired and content both times. I cannot recommend booking with Michael enough!

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to safety I take it very seriously, regardless if a dog is “normally” good with other dogs or people I always pay attention to their body language. I’m very aware pets can act out of character when visiting someone else’s home due to the stress of being away from their family. With that said; you can trust that I will make sure your pet is well taken care of and will be safe under my care. We have a very happy and healthy home life where your dog will be happy to come to every time I care for them while you are away!

Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet

Nothing automatically would make me decline caring for your pet - just PLEASE be upfront and honest about it so I can avoid a potentially bad situation! Is your pet good with people? Babies? Children? Dog aggressive? Food aggressive? Escape artist? Potty trained? Any medical issues or current problems? Any daily medications? How much do you feed your pet daily?

A typical day

One of my favorite activities to play with new dogs is using a flirt pole! It’s such a fun toy and every dog loves it! If you don’t know what it is or have never tried it, get one!!
