Dog loving couple to care for yours

Pet care experience

I’m an active individual with a love for all dogs, with a natural ability to bond easily with them. I’m not fearful or hesitant to take care of any breed, big or small. I have a flexible schedule based around my full time job as a Physical Therapist, and my wife works mostly afternoons/evenings, meaning we’re almost always available for drop ins. My wife is also a huge lover of dogs and an extremely caring individual. She and I will provide a solid foundation of care and discipline for your dog, and will respect your requests for how you want the dog trained and boarded

Mike was wonderful with our baby. Popo felt very comfortable with him, and Mike took excellent care of her. We will definitely request Mike's professional services again. Thank you, Mike!
