Information Michael J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any behavior issues, how well it gets along with new people and animals, any special medications or treatments that require a certain schedule that needs to be done.

Love cuddling up with the dogs and going out on walks and stopping to enjoy the fresh air a few times along the way. I also have a Furbo that I enjoy using to play with the dogs and giving them treats when they learn where the treats comes from

Michael was amazing! I needed someone super last minute (like two days’ notice), and he absolutely came through. This was my first time leaving our baby with someone in their home, so I was a little nervous. I’ll be honest—I was also nervous because some people have preconceived ideas about Rottweilers, even though she’s the sweetest, but Michael was great about it and not nervous at all. He treated her like his own, and there were zero issues. He sent pictures throughout the day, was super responsive, and made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. 10/10 all day. I’ll definitely be using him again—and our baby told me she had a great time too!
