Pet care experience
I am a teacher of 30 years who loves pets and has 3 dogs / 2 cats of my own. I have taken my dogs to obedience school. We have also had reptiles, fish, and hampsters. I am home all summer and available any time. When school resumes in the fall I will still be available on weekends.
Reviews
Michael was so great on such short notice. We have a very high energy dog that sometimes people are apprehensive of, but if you take the time to throw a ball for him… he’ll love you forever. I think the dogs got just enough play time and relaxation time in while Michael was here with them. Thank you so much Michael! Highly recommend! 10/10
Thanks for a job well done l. My regular walker is coming back but I keep you in mind if I if I need you.?
Mike is great with animals. They just love him. He has been a teacher for decades and is extremely dependable and respectful. He also keeps a very clean house which is amazing considering he has 3 dogs and 2 cats. I strongly recommend Mike for anyone looking for a buddy to care for there beloved furry family member.

Safety, trust & environment
In our home, we walk our dogs in the morning. They are all crate trained and stay in their crates during the day. They go out during the afternoon and spend time with our son and spend time playing in our fenced-in yard. Friends say they want to be reincarnated and return as a pet in our house because they have great toys, get lots of love, and have the best quality food. I will treat your pets just as well as our furry family members. I've never met an animal I didn't love.

Information Michael F. would like to know about your pet
Does the dog have triggers that cause anxiety or stress? Will they try to chase birds or other dogs they see on a walk? How does the dog like to receive praise? Do they like belly rubs, neck scratches, or a treat?
A typical day
I am physically fit so I can take dogs for a long walk or play in the yard. When my 3-year-old Standard poodle was a puppy, I took him to a parking garage downtown to practice going up and down stairs to learn this skill. It also helped him learn to not be afraid of the noise and vibration. I was a baseball coach so I enjoy throwing balls and frisbees with my dogs
