Pet-haver and lover for life!

Pet care experience

I've always had dogs and cats in my family and I've always been very involved in their training and growth. I've owned dogs as large as Danes, as hairy as Collies, and as small as Chihuahuas. I've also had multiple cats throughout my life. I believe any pet can be trained effectively, without fuss, and in a loving manner. I am very diligent with routines as I believe they are incredibly important for pets. I work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible.

He watched my great dane, my pain in the butt puppy, and my 2 cats for a week while I was away on vacation and took great care of them. My pups love him and so do my kitties. He's very polite and professional.

Safety, trust & environment

Totally depends on the owner's instructions. I will respect what they request from me, and if I see room for improvement I will share and collaborate with them.

Information Michael A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I'd love to know their physical condition because I enjoy doing a lot of physical activity with dogs such as walks, runs, play, etc. An example would be if the dog has hip problems, that would be very valuable information to me. Also diet and potty routine would be useful.

A typical day

Happy to take recommendations from the owner! I try not to mess with their established routine too much but we will definitely have fun. I love trying to teach dogs new tricks too!

I believe the wellness of pets reflects directly from that of their caretakers, which is what motivates me to keep a routine that keeps my pets active, well-kept, and well-loved. Walking and playtime is more than daily (depending on their health) and I love spending quality time with pets.
