Aspiring Vet with clinic exp!

Pet care experience

I love dogs and can't wait to spend time with yours. Currently studying at home preparing to apply to vet school and what better way to break up study time than with dog cuddles! I have had dogs for the past 20 years and I can't imagine life without them. I have worked in several vet clinics and have experience with seniors, puppies, and dogs that display dominant behavior. I live near some great hiking trails so your pups will enjoy some good walks when they stay with "Uncle Mike." No one calls me uncle mike but you are more than welcome to! Hopefully we can have a chance to interact together with your dog (s) so I can get a better understanding of what the dog is accustomed to at home.

Michael is a consumate animal lover. It is clear that he has spent a lot of time around and working with animals - he's very patient and knowledgeable, with a great intuition for their needs. I would definitley trust him with my pups!

Michael is wonderful! He is responsible and trustworthy, and our dogs love him, too. When Roxie and Ollie met him, you could tell he is a dog lover as well. He sends us photos of our dogs while we are at work which brightens our day and our dogs are taken care of. I highly recommend Michael!

I highly recommend Michael for all your pet sitting needs!! I admire him for his genuine compassion for people and animals. He is knowledgeable and always taking the extra step to understand the psychological and physiological characteristics of all species. He is currently going to school to become a veterinarian; with his passion and drive I know he will find much success in this field of study. Michael also has an excellent rapport with people. His strong communication skills and kind nature has allowed him to connect with all different kinds of people and their pets. Michael is a model pet caregiver, and I wish all pet caregivers were as conscientious in their care as he is. Michael is an intelligent, dedicated and personable man. He demonstrates an impressive amount of professionalism, and is capable of handling any situation sensibly and with thoughtfulness. Thank you Michael for being so awesome!

With his great knowledge of breeds and dog health and behavior, you can trust Michael to provide excellent care. My dog always greets Michael with a whole body wag and lots of kisses and she rests well, once home. Also, as a large dog who does not get along with other females, he considers her needs and keeps everyone safe and happy on walks.
