Your Pup's Happy Place & Adventure

Pet care experience

My life has revolved around dogs! I grew up with them, have owned and expertly trained German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs) as an adult, and possess a natural connection that dogs truly respond to. As the founder of Barron's Leash, Jackson Hole's premier pet care service, and with a history as the #1 rated Rover.com sitter in our area, I bring an exceptional level of dedication and professionalism. With hundreds of successful boarding nights and a loyal base of repeat clientele (booking with me can sometimes be a delightful challenge!), you can rest assured your pet is in highly experienced, loving, and capable hands. I'm committed to providing an elite, personalized experience for every guest.

Mike is fantastic. Continuous pictures of our Molly having fun. Mike asked all the right questions to make sure Molly was well cared for and comfortable. Mike’s home was comfortable for our girl. So thoughtful and caring. Highly recommend Mike for any fur baby.

Mike was great! This was Grizz’s first time for any kind of day care, and he was more nervous than we expected. Mike was calm and kind, and Grizz did great! We so appreciated the pictures and the updates throughout the day. We won’t hesitate to book Mike again next time we are in the area!

Our dog Tobi had an awesome day with Mike. Tobi got to play with other dogs, go for walks and was exhausted at the end of the day. Mike keep me updated with pictures throughout the day of Tobi's adventures

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and trust are non-negotiable. My home is a secure, dog-friendly haven featuring large windows that offer fascinating 'dog TV' – views of local deer, birds, and ducks, providing calm stimulation. My yard is securely fenced for safe play where all outdoor time is supervised and on or off leash for complete safety. I maintain a structured, respectful environment, which includes polite manners like sitting before exiting or eating. Dogs adapt quickly and thrive on this clarity! Critically, I provide 101% attention to prevent any escape possibilities – doors are always secured. When adventuring in Jackson, my deep local knowledge ensures we stick to safe trails and areas, whether on or off-leash (with your explicit permission and for well-trained dogs). Discretion is also a hallmark of my service.

Information Mike H. would like to know about your pet

To ensure I can provide the most tailored and wonderful experience for your beloved companion, the more information you can share, the better! Ahead of their stay, I find it incredibly helpful to know about: Their personality & temperament (e.g., playful, shy, energetic, cuddly?) Daily routine (e.g., feeding times, walk schedule, sleeping habits) Any anxieties or fears (e.g., thunderstorms, separation, specific noises) Health considerations & medications (Including any allergies or dietary needs) Recall reliability & off-leash comfort/training (If considering off-leash adventures) Favorite toys, treats, and activities

A typical day

A day for your dog here is a wonderful mix of Jackson's natural beauty and cozy home comforts! Mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and often some peaceful wildlife watching from our windows. Then, tailored to your dog's energy, we'll embark on an adventure – perhaps an off-leash trail exploration (I know the best, safest spots!) or a fun leashed walk in a local park. Afternoons might include yard play, indoor enrichment, or simply relaxing cuddle time. Regular potty breaks are, of course, standard. Evenings bring dinner, another chance for a walk or yard time, and then settling in for a calm, comfortable night. Every day is customized to ensure your dog feels cherished, stimulated, and secure.

Pet care is a central and joyful priority in my daily life here in Jackson. Thanks to a flexible schedule with my other ventures (which never compromise pet care), I'm home most of the day. This allows me to dedicate significant, quality time to your furry family member, ensuring their needs for attention, potty breaks, and companionship are always met. My commitment is 100% to the pets in my care; their well-being and routine guide my day.
