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.
Reviews
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).

Safety, trust & environment
Our home is very safe and we live in a very quiet neighborhood. Our house has a fully fenced backyard for playtime and bathroom breaks. We share the house with two friendly cats who are very used to dogs. They do have their own space if separation is required. Our home is smoker free.

Information Mike & Karen H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements or needs. For new clients I do suggest a meet and greet at my home both for you and your pet.
A typical day
Your dog can expect a very quiet and peacful day. Depending on their needs and weather permitting a short walk around the neighborhood or a three mile hike through Pinon Valley Park can be arranged. Playtime and exploring our back yard is always available and always supervised.

Availability
I am recently retired and at home all day. This allows me to give your pet lots of attention and constant supervision. Walks and treats are always on the daily agenda. I only accept one family's dog(s) at a time so your dog gets our full attention. Couch potatoes are welcome.
