Michael has an extensive array of experience with animals and creatures small and large for 20+ years. His love for animals pushed him to a career in getting his bachelor's degree in environmental science with a focus in US. Fish and Wildlife after he retired from the Army Reserves. He has owned and raised domestic cats, dogs, bunnies and hamsters; reptiles from snakes, geckos, aquatic turtles, salt and freshwater fish; and farm animals from chickens, ducks, goats, and pigs. As his love for animal care grows, he is now pursing his master's degree in animal science.

Mike & Brandy watched our two year old Belgian Malinois while we went to California for a family vacation. While we were gone they continually updated us with photos of our dog Kona playing and asking any questions they had. This was a huge piece of mind knowing she was having a great time and also being attended to while away. Our dogs are like our children so finding someone you trust and can count on is priceless. We highly recommend and will definitely be using their service again in the near future. Thanks again, Justin & Nicole Jennetto

Let me know if there are any special needs or requests. I have experience with all size dogs but prefer medium to giant sized furry kids.
