Can Hike Your Dog!

Pet care experience

I am a very active Dog Walker and Sitter. If you hire me your dogs will come back to you wiped out for the day. I can cater the type of exercise that your dog needs. I love to hike, bike, rollerblade, with my dogs; I can do the same with yours. I have been walking and watching dogs for over eight years now. I am a natural with dogs and my wife is like a human sleeping pill for dogs. No matter what a dog's energy level; is around my house the most common sight is a calm chilled relaxing dog. It's not just the level of exercise the dogs get; it's the energy that we give off. If this sounds what you'd like for your four legged family member are looking for contact me.

Michael was the best! My dog came home very happy and well exercised. I will definitely reach out to him again next time I leave town. Very pleased with the overall experience and really appreciated his photos and quick communication.

Michael is amazing with Rosita, takes her for hikes and cares for her as I would myself. I highly recommend him!

Michael and his wofe were so attentive and caring towards our little Plushie, who is still a puppy 21 months, small/Med size and has bounds of energy. I was worried that this may be a problem, (we call Plushie “needy”lol!) as he’s quite the baby, and demanding, but Michael seemed to manage him well, and his 2 dogs seemed to have adjusted Plushie socially and ‘calmed’ him rather than the other way which could have happened. Instead, Plushie came back a calm and nurtured dog which was so great to see. Michael was constantly in contact and sending pictures to make us feel comfortable being away from him. It was a 7 day stay, and when we went to pick up Plushie, he was in such good spirits, so happy and calm. Plushie looked well cared for. We will definitely be using Michael for our next board and may even have him take Plushie on the hikes he said they all went on, which I think would be very good for Plushie to keep some dog ‘friends’. Thanks!

We couldn’t be happier with the care for our pup Annie, from Michael. For an 11 year old Aussie - it was like he rolled back time...! If she could speak, we’re certain she would’ve booked a reservation for next time - upon pickup “checkout..!” Book with Michael now...!

Information Michael J. would like to know about your pet

I require a meet and greet before I take on any new clients. I have two dogs that I need to think of their compatibility first. Are your dogs crate trained? Are you will to flea treat them before boarding? Does your dog do well around other dogs? Childern? Does your dog need any special needs? Does your dog have any obsessive qualities? (i.e. chewing, separation anxiety, barking, scratching)

A typical day

I love to explore different dog friendly hikes in the Los Angeles area. I am also fond of biking and rollerblading with my dogs to drain their energy.
