Pet care experience
My wife and I have had dogs most of our lives, at times multiple dogs. From German Shepherds to Yorkies to French Bulldogs to Beagles, to rescue mixes, and more, we have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs from birth until end care.
Reviews
I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Mike. His care was thoughtful and competent, and I was able to enjoy my time away worry-free. I especially love that the environment at mikes place is similar to what my pup is used to at home, being able to play and explore indoors and out with people and other dogs. My dog was like part of the family. Thank you!
Mike and his family (doggos included!) were absolutely amazing! It was obvious that they cared for our pup like she was their own and were very accommodating at learning how to manage her Halo collar and keep it charged and working! I would highly recommend this family for any length of stay. We certainly feel at ease now that we have a go to dog sitter in the area where our pup can go and play with other dogs instead of being alone in the house for periods of time! Thanks Mike!!
Mike was very accommodating regarding my schedule. My dog Thor enjoyed his stay there and was actually a little reluctant to leave. Apparently he had fun playing with Mike’s dogs. I recommend this Rover location.
Mike and his wife were great. They picked up our pup from our wedding and escorted him to his night retreat. His dogs were very friendly and played well with mine. Thank you guys!

Safety, trust & environment
My dogs have a large fenced-in area with an electronic doggie door where they can come and go all day long. We have an additional wifi collar for dogs who board with us. We also go out for a romp in our 4+ acre unfenced yard 4-5 times day under my supervision. My dogs are professionally trained and do not need a fence, but we have an 80 foot zip line for dogs who visit, again this is always supervised. We have two rescue dogs: Zoey and Carmine. They are hound mixes who love other dogs and people. Zoey is a certified therapy dog and Carmine will go for his test in December when he is 12 months old. He will pass with flying colors, as he was hand-picked at the kennel by our dog trainer. He is a sweetheart.

Information Mike D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs or requirements. I'll make sure to make your dog as comfortable as possible. My wife and I LOVE dogs, so your dog will be cared for appropriately.
A typical day
If your dogs like to play, he or she will have 2 playmates who love to run around the yard. If your dog enjoys retreiving balls etc. they are in luck because I love throwing toys to dogs. If your dog prefers to be left alone, my dogs will stay away. They are very good at reading other dogs.

I am a retired teacher and current author, so I am at home every day. The dogs and I have a schedule of play and rest time throughout the day.
