Mike had taken great care of our pets, his relaxing nature allowed our dogs (we have a reactive one) to trust Mike and made them feel safe with him.

Mike is what I call the animal whisperer. Mike gas a special connection with pets, to include our 2 cats and a dog with anxiety. We have 4 of us living in the house and each pet gravitate towards Mike every day. They love us as well, but you can see the bond Mike has with each pet. Mike has a tremendous amount of live for any animal. I have also witnessed Mike's interactions with pets being walked in front of our home, pets that don't know Mike and they to are immediately relaxed and interactive with Mike. I believe Mile would he an asset to Rover in any capacity with any type of pet.
