Experienced dog walker!

Pet care experience

I'm an active athlete (6'4 195lbs) who doesn't mind doing countless activities with your dog. I enjoy just simply playing with dogs. Also I'm very patient with any dog I am caring for and will treat them as my own. I'm an outdoors person so I don't mind being outside for extended periods of time on walks or just simply playing with dogs. I've been around dogs my entire life and have endless experience with them. My brother ran a kennel for a couple of years, and in that time I helped him with day to day operations which included feeding, watering, walking, and cleaning the dogs. I currently care for my teammate's dog on several occasions, often taking him on walks to the park and around the neighborhood.

Mike is fantastic! I wasn’t honestly sure how Hiccup would do during the meet-&-greet as his history with unfamiliar men has been spotty at best, but the moment Mike walked through the front door I knew he was perfect! Hiccup sniffed and inspected but not a SINGLE growl or bark came out of him—in fact, he actually jumped up and gave him licks on his hand! Completely shocked my husband and I at how well he took to him! Our little Annie loves everyone so we knew Hiccup would be the test and Mike won him over without even having to bribe him with treats. Mike is very sweet and soft spoken, very respectful, and great with the dogs. He listened to care instructions and my overprotective-momness with patience and humor and asked questions about anything I happened to forget. He was also very communicative and flexible while I was trying to finalize plans for the weekend that we needed him. I highly recommend him! We don’t need sitters often, but I would 100% book with him again.

Mike has watched over my Rotty pup and she loves him because he plays with her and he is very attentive. She always gets excited when I tell her Uncle Mike is watching her.
