Pet care experience

Keeping your dog safe and happy!

A lifetime dog-lover! Volunteer dog walker at Colorado Animal Rescue. Have been a proud owner of Labrador retrievers and a basenji! Dog walking is my sole pursuit, so you can expect wide availability: 7 days a week from dawn to dusk. Walk at the dog's preferred pace -- happily jog with a dog needing a higher level of activity. Expect me to follow these rules to keep your dog safe and healthy: - Maintain your dog on leash always. - Avoid contact with people and other dogs. - Small treats are provided only to reward desired behavior -- unless the owner specifies no treats. - Have fun! Always!

I want say a HUGE Thank You to Michael. He was excellent. I knew our little Freddie was in good hands as soon as we met. I would recommend Michael with high praise for anyone looking for peace of mind in a pet sitter.

Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I invite pets into my home and am always happy to visit with your dog in your home. I will keep the dog safe, stick closely to the dog’s normal routine, and respect the home as if it were my own. And potty breaks, of course!

A typical day

Activities depend on the dog’s age, energy level, and any owner rules. We could: - Play fetch or tug with favorite toys. - Practice behaviors like sit or down with rewardng treats. - in a fenced yard, play frisbee or chasing. - Simply sit together with petting and talking.
