“We have sent our dog to board at Michael's several times now. This was a 3-week stay and our dog was well cared for and loved. Michael always responds quickly to our messages. The care is professional. There's lots of space outdoor for them to play and explore. This is a repeated booking, and we'll send our dog here again. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole took such wonderful care of Dobby! She's a busy girl and Nicole was wonderfully communicative and kept me updated. It made the boarding process for me so much easier and less stressful!”
“Maryah was awesome. Even when our plans changed because of hurricane Lee she was accommodating. Great country location for the dogs. I would highly recommend her and have no reservations using her again in the future.”
“Love the whole family! Maisy had a great stay with lots of walks and love. We had great communication regarding drop off and pick up times. Looking forward to scheduling another stay for Maisy.”
“I appreciated Dayana’s quick response and willingness to accept a last minute boarding request for our dog while away for a long weekend. She allowed me to stop by ahead of booking with her to view her house and yard. She has a thoughtful set up for ensuring dogs will be comfortable in her house with dog beds, toys, and treats. She was also flexible to accept a later pick-up time when we returned home. Dayana sent both pictures and videos, which made me feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands. I would use her again.”
“Bandit had a great time with Phil and his dogs! We received updates throughout the week that put us at ease. We will definitely be using Phil again in the future!”
“John did a great job with our Enzo dog. He is obviously a dog person! You can tell by the way he talks with and connects with dogs. Since this was the first time our dog boarded with someone, we wondered how he would do, but he was totally comfortable with John. By the way, John sent pictures to put us at ease, but also showed that our dog was happy and comfortable.”
“Luiz made both us and our dog feel super comfortable. We had the utmost confidence that our dog was in great hands and was well cared for while there! We will definitely use again!”
“We are so glad we found Melanie! Our dog, Dylan, stayed in Melanie's home with her family while we were gone for a week long vacation. Melanie kept us updated with photos and video and it was clear that Dylan had such a fun time and got all the attention he needed. We felt like he was a part of their family for the week. We highly recommend Melanie and will definitely look to book with her next time we are in need!”
About: Hi! I would love to take care of your dog like he/she was one of my own! I love all animals and so does my family! I have had pets and dogs since I was a child and so has my husband. I am a stay at home mom at the moment and my husband works full time. We live in a single family home. We recently lost our 14year old mini schnauzer, he is the one in our photo gallery. Someone who will always be with me is my daughter, who is one year old and my son who is 5 years old. Please contact me with any questions. I am currently a stay at home mom and will be able to walk your dog or let them out in our yard through out the day. We have a yard and a senior dog to keep your dog some company. We also have a crate if that will keep your pet more comfortable.

“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Kalliah was so outstanding! She texted updates and pictures daily. I knew that she cared tremendously and wanted the best for my pup while I was away. ? Couldn’t recommend her more! Above and beyond awesome!”
“Ali provided our dog, Arthur, excellent care. His love of dogs is very apparent the moment he stooped to greet Arthur. His dog, Hasti, is a sweet friendly dog and also welcomed our dog. We feel very fortunate to have found Ali and highly recommend him.”
