Pet care experience

I've been around dogs since I was a child. First just hunting dogs but now dogs for companionship, joy and fun. Friends and family have trusted my wife and I to care for their pets while they are on vacation and our last two goldens we trained on our own.

Mike is such a great sitter! My very energetic dog is snoring at my feet after a fun day of playing at Mike’s house. Mike is a trustworthy dog lover who has a great home and fenced in yard. We will happily re book with Mike for as often as we can.

Our puppy had the best time with Mike! We did a meet and greet right before we booked with him and then another meeting 2 weeks before we dropped off our puppy to familiarize our puppy to his home again. He took such great care of our mini goldendoodle and he also sent updates and photos as well. We always worry about leaving our puppy with dog sitters but I am so glad that we found Mike who was amazing with our puppy and really loved on him while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking with Mike again! Thanks Mike for everything!
