Dog Boarding

Teddy and I live / work from a nice 20 acre piece of property located in Brush Prairie, WA. I started dog sitting as a way to get dog buddies for Teddy and keep him entertained as I work from home. The boarding service has quickly grown in popularity over the last year. There are a limited number of dogs that we can book. This isn’t traditional boarding where your dog lives in a kennel. Teddy’s dog sitting buddies live with us just like they are my dogs. We go on several walks through the trails and the local neighborhood every day. I send lots of photo updates throughout the day. And I will treat your dog child like they are my own. We have had over 120 successful dog boardings at this point.

Micheal is one of those people who seems to intrinsically know what dogs are thinking. Seeing him interact with and care for them let’s me know that he has their needs and wants in the front of his mind. I can’t say enough good things about him!

Michael carries a big heart for every animal. My pet is just as much a part of me and my family as I am to they. When I choose a person to watch my children I can be very meticulous in my efforts to choose the very best that I can. Michael is one in a trillion. I wouldn't trust nar anyone but he with my pet.

Michael did a fantastic job watching my dog. He was very flexible to work with when my schedule changed. He sent regular updates and pictures about how my dog was doing. I will use him again!

Michael took excellent care of our pupper. With lots of land to roam around, and frequent long walks with Teddy, our dog stayed exercised and entertained. We got daily updates, cute photos & videos of all the other animals on the property. Would highly recommend letting Michael care for your dog!

I highly recommend Michael. He took great care of my dog while I was away on vacation and he was very sensitive to my dog's needs. Michael also posted daily updates and pictures of my dog's adventures. Would definitely use him again!

It was a great experience. Our dog was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. The price was great and the location was close to home which was really nice. Michael did a great job of taking care of our dog.

Michael was easy to make arrangements with and an obvious dog lover - Tipper had a great stay with him, with lots of walks and fun. I’d rebook with Michael any time I need to travel and need someone trustworthy to watch Tipper!

Michael was fantastic to work with. He was super flexible and understanding when we couldn't pick up our dog on time, and he sent lots of pics and communication during his stay. This is our second time using him and plan to again!

Michael took great care of my dog Leo. He also sends regular pictures and posts updates. Always a great experience. Would highly recommend!

This was my first time using Rover and leaving my baby for an extended period with a stranger. Michael absolutely blew my expectations away. I received multiple update texts, pictures, and videos daily of how Jasper was doing, as well as screenshots of how many miles they walked a day. (cont)

(Cont.) I even think Michael unintentionally leash trained my dog with all of their consistent long walks! He also saved me nearly $1000 compared to traditional boarding! I would easily give Michael 10 stars if I could, and I will absolutely bring my dog back if he needs boarding.

Michael was so awesome! Gave me updates on Rip everyday! It made me have peace of mind my boy was taken care of. I will definitely use Michael again if he’s available. Soooo appreciated!

Michael took great care of Shadow. The daily photos and updates helped put us at ease.
Rosa R.May 29, 2023
Micheal was very communicative and sent me photos and info about Boomer throughout his week stay with Michael. I feel comfortable leaving Boomer with him. He is courteous and caring and went out of his way to help Boomer feel at home with alot of pets and walks. Micheal is calm and very reassuring as I get anxious leaving my dog. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Michael was hands down the best rover we have used this far! We are definitely going to continue using him. It's such a relief knowing that Ari had 1:1 interaction and attention with Michael throughout his stay since Ari is needy. Michael is able to give individual attention to the dogs he cares for and what really helps him do that is the fact that he only has 1 dog of his own, Teddy. (cont)

(cont)We were updated with pictures every day and notified how Ari was doing throughout his stay. When we dropped off Ari he had just came back from the vet and coming out of sedation, Michael made sure to give Ari his meds and took extra good care for him since he was still loopy. I highly recommend Michael and Teddy!

Michael was very responsive and took time to send pictures and notes keeping us updated on our dog. We felt confident after our first meeting that our pup was in good hands and on her way to making new friends. Would reccomend!

Michael was very kind, knowledgeable, and great with our dogs. We have found our dog sitter for the future. It was our first time using Rover and we felt very blessed by the experience.
