Because Your Dog Deserves the Best

Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all kinds. When it comes to dogs, I’ve handled everything from Yorkies, energetic Beagles to gentle Greyhounds and even massive English Mastiffs. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and care they need. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a calm routine, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care.

Mike and Shanna did an amazing job looking after my two golden retrievers. They were prompt their feedings, walked them twice a day and always provided pictures of their activities. They were wonderful and I was at peace knowing my babies were being well taken care of.

Amazing Petsitter!! Michael came to my house 3 times a day while I was out of town for 1 1/2 weeks & all went really well! I was so relieved because I tend to get nervous about leaving the dogs in someone else’s care, and this was the 1rst time I didn’t board them. He was great with the dogs and navigating a complicated feeding/meds routine with 2 quirky pooches. Excellent communication, always responds super quickly. He was incredibly reliable, on time for all those visits, sending plenty of photos and notes. Michael & his wife are such a great petsitting team, she is absolutely amazing as well- nice knowing there’s always a backup person. My dogs were super comfy with both!! Very glad to have found them since I do travel a lot and am in constant need of pet care. Highly recommended!!

Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting is filled with care, companionship, and fun. As instructed to stick to their routine to keep them comfortable. We'll start the day with a morning walk or potty break, followed by breakfast and some playtime or light training. In the evening, we’ll wind down with a final walk, dinner, and some quiet cuddle time before bed. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and right at home!
