Dog loving couple to care for yours

Pet care experience

I’m a strong individual with a healthy love for dogs, a natural ability to bond with dogs. I’m always at ease with dogs, and will not be fearful or hesitant to take care of any breed of dog. I have a flexible schedule based around my full time job as a Physical Therapist, and my fiancé works mostly afternoons/evenings as a Dance Educator. I live in a good suburban community with plenty of parks and trails to walk or run your dogs on if they require a bit of energy release. I have a 2 story apartment that is dog friendly in all ways - furniture, beds, and porch space! My fiancé 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

Chloe had a fun holiday weekend with Mike, Alyssa and her newest best friends. Thank you Mike & Alyssa for sitting Chloe so we could go see Amanda!

Mike was so great! He is so patient and kept me updated on my pup. It was my first time leaving her with someone so this experience was a little scary for me but he did so well in making me feel like my Ivy is okay! Will defiantly book with him again confidently when I travel again.

We are so lucky to have found Mike & Alyssa. They are wonderful with Chloe. Looking forward to their next visit together in April!

This is the first of many sleepovers at Mike & Alyssa's, first for Chloe in 12 years. They were awesome with her, taking great care of her and sharing pics with us, which helped ease us missing her. Thank you for taking such great care of our pawbaby!
