Professional Boarding and Training
Hello! My name is Michael, and I offer professional dog boarding, daycare, and training services. I have over 8 years of hands-on experience working with dogs and animals, and dog training is my career—not just a hobby. My experience ranges from basic and advanced obedience to behavioral modification, working dogs, and dog sports. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where your dog can enjoy their stay while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. I believe your dog deserves a vacation while you’re on yours! Services I offer include: • Boarding • Board & Train Programs • Daycare • Day Training • Private Lessons • Behavioral Modification Whether your dog is staying for the day, spending a few nights, or needs some extra training along the way, I’m happy to work with you to find the right fit. Feel free to message me with any questions or to learn more! 🐾

The best in the biz. I have unwavering trust in Michael & Bailey that my dog is thriving when he’s with them!
Our husky loves staying with Bailey and Michael! They have a large fenced in back yard and two playful dogs. I received updates and pictures every day and it’s so nice knowing our dog is having a great time while we are away!
Excellent! Yehyeh will be back
Amazing as always. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!
I’m just gonna leave the vet notes and have you all decide for yourselves The patient was picked up last night after staying with Rover Dogsitter for the last several days. Immediately, the patient refused to eat, had continuous loose stool, and presented with high stress - trying to bite the owner multiple times which is unusual. the most predominant difference is that the patient's left eye (the whites of the eye) is swollen purple. Based on examination, patient presented with a high amount of fear and anxiety which is an abnormal behavior change from previous visits, especially given that he tried to bite the owners at home and was very hesitant in the room to approach us. Given the high fear and anxiety presented to us, recommended bringing the patient back on Friday for complete evaluation. This is so the patient has enough time to decompress (to reduce both stress and anxiety). Given the patient is having loose stool, recommended to do a drop off fecal to test for parasites. On ocular evaluation, there seems to be moderate hemorrhage present on the latral aspecal of the eye. Based on the pictures that the O showed during visit, it does seem that the hemorrhage and swelling has decreased. Explained that the degree of bruising can occur when too much pressure/trauma is placed on the neck or with systemic diseases - given that there's no other signs of bruising or petechia noticed else where in the body, likely attribute bruising to excess pressure around the neck: i.e: if a dog pulls hard if a slip lead, etc. Requested O to bring the patient back to clinic on Friday to check in on patient once adequate time for the patient to de-stress. If bruising is noticed elsewhere on the body or the hemorrhage is spreading within the patient's eye and/or any blepharospasm/epiphora, etc. is noticed. please bring the patient in immediately It was my first time using rover and I’m disappointed. The more I look at how my dogs were acting when they first came back to us vs. Now. There was a clear sign of them being stressed out extremely.
We got pictures and regular updates from Michael. Bailey was happy in all the pictures so we are sure she had a great time with Michael.

Schedule
I’m a full-time professional dog trainer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments! 🐾💕 Because I work with dogs full-time, your pup will receive plenty of attention throughout their stay. I make sure each dog gets a healthy balance of mental and physical stimulation through enrichment activities and Kongs, daily walks, playtime, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and love! My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home while they’re in my care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We I have a fully fenced backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, giving your pup plenty of space to safely enjoy some outdoor time! 🐾 Dogs in my care are treated like my own. They’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep with me if that’s what they’re accustomed to, and are able to spend their day hanging out with me rather than being kept separated or kenneled unnecessarily. 😁 I accommodate every dog on a case-by-case basis to make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible. If your dog has special needs or a specific routine—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, or other accommodations—no worries at all! Just let me know what they need, and I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine. ♥️

A typical day
Every day is full with new activities and fun! We start with morning walks to stretch those paws, followed by breakfast to fuel the fun. Potty breaks are frequent, keeping everyone comfy, and enrichment time brings exciting activities for both mind and body. Our board-and-train pups get personalized training sessions, and of course, there’s no shortage of belly rubs, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. Whether it’s playtime or relaxation, we make sure every pup feels right at home!

- We want to make your pup’s stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, so the more we know, the better! Let us know about any medical conditions, medications, or supplements your dog takes, as well as any dietary or exercise restrictions they may have. We also want to understand their personality—how they feel around people and other dogs, their typical potty routine, and anything else that helps us provide the best care possible. Your pup is our priority, and we’re here to make them feel right at home!
