Responsible, Reliable & Experienced

Pet care experience

Hey there, I'm Mike and I have been a dog lover/caretaker my whole life. My rescue dogs are my best friends and I will take great care of your dogs just like they were my own. I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise on our walks and so they're in a great mood when you get home. Any and all instructions you provide from training commands to feeding instructions, will be followed to the letter. I have a rescue dog who is in a wheel-cart since losing the use of his back legs so I am very comfortable with taking extra special care of special needs dogs including bladder and anal expression, wheel-cart or harness walks. I am available for drop-in's, walks, boarding and overnight stays with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I look forward to meeting you and your doggies, we're going to have tons of fun!!

This letter is to recommend Michael Holowatch as an experienced dog caretaker and dog walker. I was a Veterinary Technician for 10 years and completely trust Michael’s dog handling skills. My dogs are always so happy after seeing Michael. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for special needs pets too. I have a special-needs dog that requires appropriate handling due to an injury sustained when he was very young. Michael also has a special needs dog that is thriving due to his meticulous care. I highly recommend Michael Holowatch as a dog caretaker and dog walker.

So I had a typo in my last review. I want to make sure it's clear that without hesitation, and with the full force of my integrity that I recommend Michael to care for my dogs and yours! Choose this guy to walk, board, care for and yes... even love your dog!

Michael is great! He's reliable, responsible, and trustworthy not to mention he's an exceptional pet owner himself. I've been a Veterinary Technician for 13 years and I'm a very finicky pet owner but I've trusted him with my dogs many times. He's great with "special needs" dogs as well. I highly recommend him!
