I care for you pets like my own

I own 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15, and training foster dogs for the last 5 years. I also participate in dog sports with 2 of my dogs.

First time leaving our dogs, we reached out to Mike based on his experience and our high energy two year old dogs (Pitbull and Kelpie). Mike came to our house while we were gone for a week and took care of them. Great experience and would book again.

Mike took good care of my recently adopted, high-energy pitbull. Great to have someone to trust with behavior challenges and with an experienced background in dog training, would book again. Thanks Mike!

Pets

A typical day

I love to ensure dogs receive both mental and physical stimulation so we will play fetch, tug and go on runs. We will also explore new areas and hide treats in one hand to pick where it is. Dogs are always learning so I try to make every activity the most positive experience for your dog so they learn that the world is a happy place.
