Mike is practically my dog's Uncle! He's always happy to be there and I don't ever feel bad for leaving him as he always have tons of fun. The communication is amazing with tons of videos and pictures of how happy Napoleon is staying with him!

Mike is great! Treats our dog like his own so we can enjoy ourselves when we’re out of town :-). Sends daily photos and keeps us updated.

First time using Mike and was amazed by how well he communicated and kept me up to date everyday! I could tell in the pictures and videos how calm my dog was all weekend like I’ve never seen before. I will definitely be using Mike again in the near future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very small fenced yard on the side of my house. I only keep one pet at a time, outside of my two pups. Any potential overlap would be the day one reservation ends and another begins. When I’m home: Dogs can be in the yard as much as they want to be. Inside, dogs have full run of the house and are welcome on furniture When I’m away: No yard access. Inside, dogs have full range of the house with bedrooms closed off and are welcome on furniture.

Pets

A typical day

I typically do a long walk in my neighborhood every morning and also one in the evening. I’ll also do random walks as needed. Between those, I have a small fenced yard. If I have a playful pup, we will have plenty of indoor interaction.

Takes only 1 client at a time
Mike can host up to 1 pet per night
Knowing a dog’s temperament, any special foods/treats, and habits are preferred. Feel free to bring anything that will make your pet’s stay as comfortable as possible. I do have two 8-year-old dachshunds at home, so pets need to be friendly with other dogs.
