Dog Lover Ready to Love Your Dogs
Pet care experience
I've been taking care of dogs my whole life. My friends use me as their go-to pet sitter. I have my own strong, high-energy, 2-year-old black lab mix named Raven. We love to walk miles a day and explore different areas of the city. I would like to walk with your dog(s) as well. If your pets like to socialize, Raven can walk with us. If they prefer to be alone, she can stay home. I have wide open availability during the day time as I pursue a comedy career at night. I would love to work with you to meet your needs for walks and drop-in visits and other services, and sometimes I might even be fun to be around. I'm also a certified and former elementary school teacher. Kids are arguable as important as pets, so you know you can trust me. I've raised two dogs from puppies. My last dog lived a happy 14 years. Let me know if your special dog has special needs!
Reviews
Michael did a great job taking care of our two kittens when we were out of town. He also sent us great picture of written updates during our absence. I would definitely recommend him to cat owners!
Much appreciated! Made me feel comfortable on my first day back in the office!
Thanks for taking great care of June!
Mike is our go-to walker. Flexible, reliable and friendly - I highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
Every single pet I ever encounter is treated with the same care I would show to my own pet. I am a single guy with a dog, so I know my dog is the family who greets me when I come home. I expect that every dog means the same to their owners, and I would respect your dog by providing the utmost care because that is a member of your family. Plus, dogs are really fun and give nothing but love when you treat them right. That's instant reward for both of us.
Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any needs your dog might have. I don't have special concerns other than needing to know if they're OK walking with another dog.
A typical day
I'll walk with your dog and meet your dogs need. I will play with your dogs and give attention appropriate to your dog. I love taking my dog on adventures. Maybe we can work out a way to include your dog.

I have wide availability every day before 6 p.m. on a daily basis, and special late-night visits can also be arranged. My schedule is very flexible, and my work during the day is self directed and isn't time specific.
