Safety, trust & environment

We have a neatly cut tree line surrounding our 2.5 Acre property. The dogs are allowed to roam freely. The fish are not allowed to roam freely. We have a variety of dog toys outside, multiple sources of fresh water outside and inside. When the dogs are outside they are administered. When we welcome your pet here you can expect top notch treatment! I preform frequent grooming on my own dogs so I’m always happy to brush or bathe any other pet! I can maintain anything from a human baby, all the way to a spooky horse! (Huge difference there right?) A nicely maintained property that’s ambiance is accentuated with nature! Clean, fresh cool well water in the water sources every day. Inside is extremely welcoming for pets also! Pets are allowed to roam the house freely, where you’ll find water sources and plenty of dog toys. Our whole family thrives off of positive reinforcement, so we are always trying to progress our pets knowledge while having fun in the process!

Information Michael T. would like to know about your pet

I would say first off their energy level. I’m able to adapt however having the information ahead of time helps me prepare festivities. Secondly I would say their drive for food. This tells me how easy it would be to train a dog and also ties in with the possibility of food aggression. And lastly if the animal is okay with a toddler running around doing her own thing.

A typical day

I feel like physical exertion brings a dogs most peaceful state of mind. We are engaged in activities for hours with activities including fetch, tug of war, walks, runs, trampoline jumping. I am able to meet a dog based on his/her own needs. I could be outside for hours with a ball playing fetch, or I could be inside giving an older dog some TLC. A tired dog is a happy dog and I strive to be each and every pets best friend!

Pet care experience

Growing up on an animal farm introduced me to pet care early on. Continual dog ownership and constantly seeking improvement has helped me with my care for pets. Being prior service within my job scope I was directly affiliated with working dogs, service dogs, and basic training for both! I’ve always been the one to be called on in regards to family and friend. A hamster, a fish, a turtle there’s a friend for everyone here! There is no dog too big or too small. I am extremely grateful for the time you took to look at my profile and I want you to understand that your pet would be in caring, tender hands.

Thank you for taking care Bella! Micheal was great about sending me regular updates and photos, which I greatly appreciate. My Bella even was given a cute little bandana with sunflowers when I picked her up. Thanks again Micheal for taking care of Bella while I was out of town.

Michael is by far the best dog sitter I’ve experienced. He sends daily updates with pictures without asking for it. He has a huge yard to let your dog run around freely and explore. He has 2 other friendly dogs to keep yours occupied and socialized. My dog loved every second of it and Michael did a great job keeping me updated on when my dog was eating, sleeping, using the bathroom and much more. 10/10 would recommend.
