Pet care experience

I’m always here for your loving dog

I am a kind, caring and dedicated dog lover who enjoys being around all breeds of dogs. Dogs are one of if not the most important part of my life. We have a large yard outside for them to walk and play in. And there is a large public park just a few walking minutes away. Also a small dog park just a 4 minute drive away. I love to play with all breeds of happy dogs and puppies! I’m around most of the time so I can make my own hours to suit your schedule with even last minute notice. I have enough love in my heart to walk, drop in on or take care of a few dogs! You will be glad you did. Special care given to senior dogs

We had an amazing experience with Michael as our dog sitter! From the moment we dropped off our pup Obi, we knew he was in great hands. Michael is incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly has a true love for animals.

Mike took great care of my little guy while I was away. It was my first time leaving my dog with anyone and was nervous about it, but Mike made the process smooth, answered all my questions, and kept me informed on how my buddy was doing. Thank you!!

Michael and Donna are absolute sweethearts. They made my pug feel right at home and his dogs were super playful with him as well. They are very caring and loving, so much so that my dog didn't want to leave. Highly recommend Michael for anyone needing doggy services in the South Jersey area.

Michael was absolutely amazing! He was willing to take my sweet boy, Butter, last minute which was such a relief. During Butter’s stay, Michael treated him with so much patience, made him feel like home, and kept me updated with pictures and texts the whole time. Butter can be pretty anxious around new people and in new environments, but Michael was so patient and understanding with him. Butter also got along very well with the other fur babies in the home and had a ball being a part of the crew! I felt very much at ease knowing my guy was in great hands. I highly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for a kind pet caretaker and wants their fur babies treated like family.

Michael is a very caring person. Wonderful with not only the dogs but their owners. I hired him to walk my brothers dogs and he went behind with helping my brother when he hurt his back. I highly recommend.
