As a stay-at-home dad, I have the unique advantage of being home all day, so your dog will get nearly constant supervision and companionship. This is ideal for dogs who experience separation anxiety or just thrive on having someone around.

About Michael S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home is a loving and active environment with a friendly seven-year-old Belgian Malinois who loves making new friends. Plus, with a two and four-year-old, your dog will be around kids who know how to be gentle and respectful of animals. I'm a firm believer that a tired dog is a happy dog, so we have plenty of play sessions in our secure yard and daily walks to keep everyone active and engaged. I understand that every dog is different, and I'm committed to providing a safe, fun, and comfortable environment tailored to your dog's specific needs.

What is their vaccination history? Do they have any allergies, medical conditions, or require medication? Behavior and Personality: Are they friendly with other dogs, people, or children? Do they have any fears or triggers? Are there any habits to be aware of, like chewing or digging? Routine and Preferences: What are their feeding times and food type?

Your Dog's Home Away from Home,
Pet care experience
Your dog's safety and happiness are our top priorities. We're excited to welcome your pup into our home and provide them with the best care possible.I've had a dog in my life since I was a baby, so pet care isn't just a job for me—it's second nature. I started helping with our family dogs. when I was just 10 years old, handling everything from feeding and walking to just being a companion. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience isn't limited to my own pets; I've also been the go-to sitter for friends and family, which has given me a deep understanding of how difficult it can be to find the right person to trust with your furry family member.
Reviews
Fantastic to work with and was able to care for my dog on short notice. Easy going and even met up with us prior!

Michael did a great job watching my dog Arthur. Michael and his family are clearly dog people and showed lots of love and attention to my dog. I feel like his house is very secure and a safe place for my dog to stay at. Additionally, it was nice to receive a daily update. I will 100% ask Michael to watch my dog in the future!

Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.

Went above and beyond for my Darla! Took her on a waterfall adventure and sent me pictures all along the way. Definitely recommend Michael!!
