Aloha, I’m Mike! I was born in Hawaii but grew up in North Carolina. As an adult, I had the opportunity to move back to the Islands where my wife and I raised our daughter and I spent over twenty years working in technology and marketing.

Five years ago, my wife and I made the decision to move back to Florida to be closer to our family. My wife, a teacher, is originally from Florida. Although it’s my first time living here, I’ve visited this area for decades and have a deep affection for the history and natural beauty.

My mom and dad loved animals and I have lived with cats and dogs since I was a boy. My family shares our home with two dogs and two rescue cats.

When my family went on vacation a few years ago, we hired 9 to 5 Pets to look after our pets. In-home pet care versus boarding while we were on vacation made our trip so much more enjoyable! We were updated with pictures and details letting us know what our children were up to, and that they were fine. I was so impressed with the phenomenal service, I decided that if I ever made a career change, I would love to be a part of the team that made both my family and our pets feel so secure and happy!

After this experience, it’s hard to recommend anyone board their pet if they have the option for in-home care. I’m delighted to provide your pets with the same exceptional care that 9 to 5 Pets provided my family.
