The best friend your pet needs!

Pet care experience

Hey pet owners! If you are looking for animal care, I am sure that I can help! My name is Michael Tobin and I have been in the animal care business privately for several years now. I have cared for dogs and cats in Illinois, Texas, and Colorado. I have worked at boarding facilities and doggie day cares in Colorado as well as Texas. I have training in animal first aid and am CPR certified. Dogs of any size and personality are a-okay with me, as long as I'm told about any issues they have beforehand! I currently have one personal dog (although I hope to soon get another) named Apollo! He is a little older now but is a sweet loving hound and I try to do all I can with him. If you are comfortable, he can always join on walks to help show some ropes or make some new friends! I always try to match the same if not better care for your furry pup as I do for mine. Thank you for the interest in having me care for your furry family! I hope to see you soon! Michael and Apollo

Michael gets my puppy out in the yard, gives him a good rest and keeps good communication!

Michael has been wonderful to work with. Excellent communication. I’m a new puppy mom and he was able to check on my 8 week pup 2-3 times in a week while I was at work. Love the pics & giving me peace of mind

COVID - I will be sure to sanitize and be COVID conscious. I am 100% vaccinated and boosted! Lots of pictures and I always try to use the Rover Cards. I will also make sure to use the pups correct collar/harness/etc. When walking I use curb safety to make sure the pup doesn’t go into the road. I try to avoid public pup encounters so that no incidents may occur. If there are any allergies, I will make sure to use the correct treats. My treats will only be used with parents permission.
