A British dog lover in CT!
Pet care experience
I've had dogs my whole life growing up in the UK. I now live in Meriden (CT) with my wife and beagle-hound rescue pup Gracie. I have a huge passion for structured training (puppies and older), intelligent play that teaches them good behavior, and exploring the outdoors to give dogs I care for a real sense of exploration and meaningful exercise.
Reviews
Mike is always fleeing my schedule
Mike is amazing! Not only does we take good care of my pups he picks up their mess when they are bad haha
Mike has been amazing with our dogs. They gravitated right to him during the meet and greet, even our nervous pup gave him more attention than he usually does with a new person. Great walker, would highly recommended!
Always a great walk with Mike! Thanks for taking care of my girl!
About Michael E.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Our beagle-hound rescue Gracie is only a year old and well socialized, and we have multiple toys and training equipment available - regular playtimes, training sessions and walks are a big part of her life and the day-to-day fun for any dogs we board. We have a crate set up for her in the living room so she is fully positioned within a main social area, and we have an entire room downstairs with its own crate that boarding pups have all to themselves to make their own. It's the perfect setup!

Information Michael E. would like to know about your pet
I have no problem with strict diets and having to administer medication, so please just give me detailed directions ahead of time, measurements, amounts, etc. and that will be 100% taken care of.
A typical day
Playtime with meaningful rewards to encourage good behavior is crucial for a dog's development and ability to interact with humans. I love puzzle solving games for dogs especially, and also massively prioritize outdoor walking/hiking in nature so they're stimulated by the natural world. Am keen to know what commands or skills the dog needs to work on, as I can create customized training to help!
