Pet care experience

We’re Cliff and Michiko — lifelong animal lovers and proud parents of a Cavapoochon we’ve cared for over 6 years. After helping our neighbors with their dogs, we realized how much joy it brings us to care for furry friends — so here we are! We both work from home, which means your dog get our care all day and will enjoy a cozy, family environment. We provide walks tailored to your dog’s needs and daily updates so you always know how they’re doing. Clifford has years of experience caring for dogs since childhood, and Michiko has raised a variety of birds (parakeets, lovebirds, cockatiels, and quakers). We’re responsible, attentive, and great communicators — your dog’s happiness and safety come first.

Michiko and Clifford took care of Millie like she was their own! I so appreciated all the photo updates and wonderful exercise! It’s really great to be able to travel and know your pet is well cared for.

Amazing dog sitters! Michiko and Clifford conducted due diligence upon my initial outreach to understand Romeo’s needs. They cap the # of dogs they look after at a time to make sure each gets sufficient attention. They sent regular updates with pictures while we were away. Romeo got plenty of physical exercise and was clearly loving their care overall.

It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.

Michiko was able to take Jeri last minute and was a great host. She was easy to communicate with, and shared pictures throughout. Jeri seemed relaxed and loved at her place.
