Reliable Sitter Years Of Experience
With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and nurture their pets with love and dedication. My experience even includes assisting with the delivery of a litter of puppies, which further strengthened my commitment to providing exceptional care. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for every pet I look after, ensuring they feel at home and cared for in my presence. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

Ratings and reviews
As always, Siena had a wonderful time when Mikey came to stay for the week whilst we away on holiday. Siena loved her very long walks locally and her trips further afield to private dog walking fields as a treat! Mikey also went above and beyond when our flight home was delayed, hugely flexible staying with Siena for an extra 3.5 hours beyond the booking end time to stay with Siena. Siena was perfectly happy and relaxed when we got home, not at all unsettled like we'd never been away. Mikey is very attentive to animals needs and follows guidance and instructions to the letter! Thank you Mikey yet again :-)

Mike has been absolutely fantastic walking Bruno. He’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Bruno is always excited to see him and comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed after every walk. Mike is dependable, communicates well, and gives us complete peace of mind knowing Bruno is in such capable hands. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he provides, and we’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional dog walker.

Once again, Mikey delivered! After taking our greyhound for a walk at lunchtime today where they got caught in a downpour, Mikey towelled Sully dry so he was comfortable as he settled down for his afternoon snooze (the dog, not Mikey!).

We were reluctant to use kennels for Minnie ,our lively 20 mth old Labrador, when asked to attend a family wedding in Spain so we decided try pet sitting and thank goodness we found Mikey who is exceedingly pleasant and an exceptional pet sitter. Minnie warmed to him from the start and clearly enjoyed his company and the great walks while we were away for 5 days . Mikey forwarded regular photos and details of her exercise which was very reassuring. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mikey to care for your dog and home as he is reliable , responsible , trustworthy and has become Minnie’s special friend , so we look forward to using his services again. Thanks Mikey.
Mikey's first sitting with our 12 month old puppy went brilliantly. Mikey was punctual, followed all instructions diligently and was very attentive to our dogs needs who is in her first season and somewhat needy and clingy. Mikey left our home spic and span too, you couldn't ask for a better service, even sharing pictures of Siena enjoying her walkies and post walk naps and cuddles!

I can thoroughly recommend Michael as a dog walker. I was worried that our greyhound wouldn't go on a walk with someone he had only been introduced to once but he happily went with Mikey - a measure of his affinity and confidence with dogs. He's reliable and friendly and I couldn't ask for a better experience. I absolutely trust Michael with my dog.
