Tattoo Artist and Animal Lover! :)

Pet care experience

I am a young and hard working Tattoo Artist, with a flexible schedule. I do prefer a couple of days heads up before most requests. I have a beautiful Italian Greyhound (girl), who is great with any and all animals, and is a great host for any task that calls for one. I have owned Mastiff dogs, tea cup dogs, cats, and many more animals of all temperaments. I believe in being a strong, loving and soft leader. Animals tend to respond best when compassion and care is very clearly offered to them, and that typically helps build trust throughout the experiences. I look forward to any and all tasks given. If your pet needs any special care, I will surely be attentive to their needs. Updates will be throughout the day, and I am available 24/7 for you to contact for anything necessary.

Amazing service from an honest person. Michael truly loves what he does and it shows! I’m so glad I chose him. I absolutely would recommend him, as he is a trusted and passionate animal lover like myself! As always, thank you so much for what you do for us! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to refresh any water and food if necessary, as well as safely give your animals area a quick safety survey to make sure they are clear of anything that shouldn’t be there (playing with shoes or other items that could be hazardous/harmful)

Information Michael A. would like to know about your pet

I have no problem with sensitive and/or aggressive dogs. In fact, I embrace them! This includes friendly dogs who are leash reactive or exclusively act up when outside or triggered by other dogs. I do however need to know this valuable information before hand, so I know exactly what to expect and how to safely handle this behavior.

A typical day

I currently travel by motorcycle and weather conditions 100% affect my availability for very clear safety reasons. Local walks are preferred but all requests are welcome. Please keep this in mind. I incorporate any of my training knowledge I’ve picked up with my loving animals on all my walks. Practicing safety sits at all corners and crosswalks and making sure my calls and commands are always heard clearly. I push their knowledge and even attempt to introduce any new stimulating games or tricks they may not already know! (Shake paw, down, leave it, etc.) Disclaimer: I am NOT a licensed dog trainer. I do have extensive and passionate knowledge on how animals behave and function and absolutely love sharing my knowledge on the behavioral science of animals.
