Pet care experience

Love and attention in Bed-Stuy

I think there's nothing better than being in the company of a dog. I've watched my dad and stepmom's dogs whenever I visited them and they were at work. More recently, I watch my friend's dog any time she's out of town. If you need your dog to be checked on, walked, or cared for overnight, I'll make sure it gets all the love it needs.

Michael was great! My dog took to him right away. He was communicative the entire time and took good care of our boy. We will be booking again for our next trip

Michael watched our doggo, Hastings, while we were away on an anniversary trip. While we were away, Michael was communicative and flexible when we had some travel issues. We felt confident that Hastings was in great hands! We would absolutely book with Michael again!

Michael took great care of Greta on an overnight visit and was quick to respond to texts. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

Michael was SO sweet to Bunty and made her stay so easy! From the photos he shared I could tell she felt safe and comfortable, which really put me at ease.

My wife and I are so thankful to have found Michael! I know our boy Moose was in good hands and that Michael treated him like his own. Would recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding and day care, I only accept one dog at a time. If you have two small dogs that get along well with each other, I’m willing to consider them as well. Fair warning, my apartment has a very comfy couch that your dog may fall in love with. Not a very big apartment, but if your dog needs to go for a walk, our neighborhood has plenty of streets for it to explore. My apartment is about a 15 minute walk from Herbert Von King Park.

A typical day

I’m happy to run around a park with your dog or just sit on the couch and turn into potatoes. My apartment will probably more than satisfy their curiosity, but walks are always an option if they'd like.
