Athlete and animal lover

Pet care experience

My name is Mike Dabulas and I have owned animals since I was born. Grew up around dogs, cats, and other fuzzy critters. I am an athlete by trade so I can handle any strong walkers or dogs that like to get in a run. But at the same time I know how to care for smaller or older dogs as they sometimes need more patience. I will go above and beyond for your pet because I know they mean the world to you. They are your best friends and will do anything for you and I will do my best to make sure they are treated with care. I have an apartment which located next to multiple medium to large dog parks, all within walking distance.

Our dog absolutely loved staying with Michael! We had to find a rover last minute and we’re lucky to find Michael. He was great at communicating and provided the best care for our dog!

Michael was great to work with! I had a last minute trip come up and he was flexible and able to do a meet and greet prior to me dropping my dog off with him. Michael was always very responsive and sent several pics. Tyson looked like he had a great time with him.

Dog's best friend! Mike was incredible to work with and showed my pup a great time for a one week-long stay. He took the time to really bond with my pup and gave him lots of care and exercise!

We have left our long coat shepherd with Michael twice and he has been amazing. Easy-going and both times Claire has returned happy and healthy! Very under-priced given his professionalism.

Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet

I like to take dogs on long walks and sometimes to the dog parks, so knowing how they interact with other dogs would be greatly appreciated. Also, any habits that may come up would also be useful.

A typical day

I have a dog park attached to my apartment if you want to use that. But I can walk around a beat by park as well.
