A house is not a home without a dog

Pet care experience

My wife and I have had pets in our lives ever since childhood. We have recently lost our beloved cattle dog Fiona after only six years. Having a dog in our house even if only for a short time is like therapy for us. We both love animals and would be honored taking care of your pet while you are away.

Mike and Karen are wonderful! Our rescued blue heeler is not quick to accept other people, and I was concerned about finding someone to take care of him while we were on vacation. Mike and Karen’s patience and understanding with dogs (and our ACD in particular) created the trust and respect that resulted in an amazing bond. Rudy was well-loved and cared for, and the photos and updates we received put us ease. We’re so grateful!

Mike was wonderful. We left our 15-year-old, deaf pooch with him and had utter confidence she would be well loved. We came back to a happy, content pup. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Mike has watched our dog countless times and is amazing with animals. We never worry when our dog is in his care. He truly is a dog lover (and dogs truly love him) who will make sure your pet is comfortable and has all of the thinks they need, and more. I recommend him for everyone’s pets!

Nobody loves animals more than Mike. He has an ability to connect with pretty much any animal. He’s successfully cared for many different types of pets, with varying levels of difficulty (from stubborn cats to aggressive dogs).
