Your Dog's 2nd Best Friend

Pet care experience

Retiree, so have rather flexible schedule & availability to help you care for your dog whether walking, playing or feeding (& watering) is requested. My parents always had dogs as pets . . . primarily Old English Sheepdogs. My first personal dog was a Weimaraner and he was a wonderful companion for 15 years. Raised black Angus cattle, donkeys & horses for 11 years so know that your pet will be in capable & experienced hands. My family's dogs have always been rescues, as well as my horse & first 2 donkeys. I am a nationally-certified & state-licensed EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), a state-licensed X-Ray Technician, Stop The Bleed instructor & proficient with basic EKG interpretation. I am also a member of the Melbourne Beach Volunteer Fire Dept & have completed my EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operator's Course). Prefer to assist residents that are beach side in Brevard County but will travel elsewhere.

Michael came over for a meet and greet with our pup Quinn, which went very well. On the day of our appointment (we had a double that day) he arrived on time and not only took Quinn for a walk, but he also made sure she had food and fresh water. He also was kind enough to put the lights on for us when we contacted him while on the walk as we had forgotten to do so before we left. We will definitely rebook with Michael the next time we need a dog walker as he was professional, reliable and most of all, Quinn really took to him.

Michael did an EXCELLENT job caring for our three, high energy dogs (one being a five month old puppy). He was very responsible, caring, punctual and kept us informed regarding the details of each visit. Would definitely have him care for our dog family again! Thanks for everything Michael!!

Michael was wonderful; we will definitely use him again! He was responsible, caring and bonded immediately with our two dogs. All that we asked him to do was done and he was an excellent communicator, sending pics of the dogs, letting us know when he arrived and left our house. I can definitely recommend Michael!

Michael was such a pleasure to work with. He really took the time and interest to get to know our “kids” (2 dogs and 2 cats) as well as getting to know us and what we wanted. He takes very detailed notes about every aspect of what our pets expect in their daily routines. If there are any questions, he texts us or calls us to be sure he is following the correct procedure. After every drop-in visit, he sent us a “report card” and photos of our kids letting us know how they were doing. We will DEFINITELY use him in the future. Our kids love him.
