Meet the Business Owner

Michael F.

Business Owner

Born and raised in New York, Michael Friedenberg has always been an animal lover. He grew up surrounded by his family pets and always had a fondness for dogs and cats. As an adult, Michael’s beloved dog Jack came into his life. Jack was Michael’s best friend, as the old adage goes, and they were inseparable for 15 years until Jack’s passing in 2011.

From the time Jack was a puppy, Michael utilized one of New York City’s largest dog care providers for day care and boarding. While he was satisfied with the service most of the time, he recognized that there were areas for improvement. When he approached the company’s management with his vision, they hired him to run their Upper East Side location in 2004. Having worked for the past 20 years as a Project Manager for large-​scale construction projects, this was quite a career change for Michael, but he saw it as an opportunity to impact the success of the place where his dog spent much of his time.
