Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular walks, fresh water, playtime, and lots of positive attention. Safety is always my top priority, so I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs to provide calm, consistent, and personalized care. I also keep owners updated and treat every pet with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.

Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time, it’s helpful for me to know your pet’s routine, energy level, temperament, and any behaviors to be aware of on walks (such as pulling, reactivity, or fear of loud noises). I also ask about leash or harness preferences, commands your pet knows, and how they typically interact with other dogs or people.

A typical day

My services are focused on dog walking and active care, not overnight or in-home sitting. During our time together, I make walks engaging and tailored to each dog’s energy level. This includes neighborhood walks, light jogging for high-energy dogs, plenty of sniff breaks, positive reinforcement, and supervised play during the walk.

Michael would be the most amazing dog walker, I have personally witnessed the care and love he gives to his own Boston terrier, he plays ball, hugs and kisses him, feeds him with quality food. His compassion for animals is part of his DNA. I would leave any pet in his care. He also has a kind and pleasant personality that people love.
