Pet care experience

I have taken care of my family's dogs since I was a child and loved every minute of it. I have experience with large dogs and young dogs, and so am comfortable with any pet. Whatever their needs, I am able and happy to help! I have loved learning what makes my family's pets happiest and most comfortable, and will love doing the same with your pets!

Michael is so great with Rocky. He’s very detailed abo it the walks and it makes me feel so comfortable and good while I’m at work! Thank you Michael, looking forward to hiring you for future walks!

Michael has had pets his entire life, and understands the amount of attention needed for an animal to be well taken care of. I’d leave my dog with Michael if he was available.

Michael is excellent with dogs! I've watched him competently handle situations with multiple dogs, including walking a large dog that can be leash reactive. He is calm and provides dogs with plenty of care and affection.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with adapting to any set up you have at your home with your pet, including backyard play, indoors activity, and walking the neighborhood with leashes, harnesses, and any kind of collar. I can also dog sit at your home overnight, weekdays or weekends.

Information Michael B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog is around other dogs. Even if the other dog is across the street, if your dog gets spooked or is reactive, it's great to know ahead of time so I can make space and be prepared for it. It's also great to know if they have any special needs or are sensitive to anything. Lastly, let me know if there are parks and activities they particularly like, I love taking them to their favorite places to do their favorite things.

A typical day

Whether a short walk or a long jog, I love being outside and active with dogs. There are great parks all around Rhode Island. I especially like Blackstone Boulevard and India Point Park, both right near where I live. Roger Williams Park is another great place for a long walk with our furry friends.
