Caring Dog Boarding & Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Experienced with all ages of dogs & cats (& Guinea pigs). Pet owner & lover since childhood (currently no pets). Approximately 90 x 30 ft. fenced backyard. Freshly laundered sofa & bed covers for each stay. Your pet(s) comfort & happiness are very important to me!

My dogs always get great care when staying with Mike. Lots of photo updates for us and lots of nice long walks and tlc for the pups! Would recommend 100%

Mike is amazing! He’s great at communication - I get updates all day long on the dogs and he also takes them on a ton of walks during the day. I can tell he really loves the dogs and my dogs run to his house from the car every time we arrive. Mike is also super accommodating to my work schedule and other things going on in my personal life - highly recommend!

Mike was an amazing dog sitter for my anxious dogs. He was very attentive and sent many photos and updates so I never had to worry or wonder how our boys were doing. Our pups seemed very comfortable and got long walks and lots of outdoor time. We hope we can book Mike again and highly recommend his services.
