Garden Retreat & Exceptional Care
Pet care experience
Hello, Are you a busy pet owner in need of reliable and trustworthy care for your beloved pets while you're away? Look no further than my garden retreat for pets where I provide pet care, boarding, day care, training, and dog walking services! I understand that leaving your beloved pets behind can be stressful, which is why as an experienced and passionate animal lover I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care and attention to your pets. From daily walks to overnight stays or training and day care, I offer a range of services tailored to meet your specific needs and ensure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Trust me to take care of your pets like they're my own, and enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I would enjoy the chance to take great care of your beloved pet. I offer a safe, healthy, interactive, environment with plenty of enrichment. Please contact me and we can arrange what care and service I can provide you and your pets. Note: I also can provide home made food made from high quality ingredients from a vet approved recipe custom tailored to your specific dog providing all of its nutrients, minerals, vitamins and other beneficial supplements. And I can provide basic grooming, vet pick up and drop off, & training sessions. My prices are reasonable for high level attentive care. They are based on being able to serve other clients dogs. My daily limit is 3. If you require your dog to be solo (besides my own dog) please let me know when you request the booking. Note: when you reserve a solo dog boarding or day care rate I have to request a 50% increase. I am also certified for pet first aid and CPR.
Reviews
It doesn't get any better than Michael! We left our puppy Yoshi in his care from yesterday through today while attending a wedding and that dog seriously may well have not wanted to leave! We got tons of pictures, videos, and updates, and Yosh was so very happy. My favorite pic: Yosh under the bedcovers. Too cute! We would be more than happy to work with Michael again and, honestly, so should you!
Michael took excellent care of Mabel. He communicated with us, sending videos and photos, so we could enjoy our vacation knowing she was happy and relaxed.
Could not be in better hands
Michael is awesome! He is organized, loving, and active with a comfortable, safe and inviting place for our Stanley to be. I felt 100% confident that he was being well cared for and it was obvious in the many photos he shared. I will definitely use Michael again!

Safety, trust & environment
My eclectic and enchanted garden studio is home to a rescue dog, several bunnies, and quail. Although the backyard is small, there are plenty of enriching activities available for all my furry friends. For daily exercise, we venture up the street to the spacious and dog-friendly Eling's Park, which is both beautiful and super safe for dogs. Additionally, we make a daily trip to the leashed side of Hendry's Beach or one of the many local parks that are dog friendly and our favorites like Hale Park or Toro Canyon Park plus I plan other interactive and exciting outings based on the individual needs and preferences of each pet. Transportation is not a problem, as I have a dog-friendly Honda Accord equipped with harnesses, bungees, dog seat belts with bungees, and a crate for small to medium size dogs. I prioritize the safety and comfort of your pets during car rides, and the seats can easily be folded down for added space. As a trained professional in emergency first aid for pets, I am prepared for any situation that may arise. I will follow any necessary medication routines or dietary plans, and I am happy to accommodate any specific nutritional needs your pets may have. Behavioral challenges or needs will be discussed with you, and together we will create a customized plan to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and happy in my care. If there is anything else I can do to meet your pets' needs, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am always happy to provide excellent service and tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each pet.
