Safety, trust & environment

Have plenty of experience with high anxiety/elder dogs as well as dogs with special needs such as diabetes who need injections through my sister's dog as well as some neighbors! One such dog usually hates people who aren't his owner but I wore him down and now he loves me! She is always shocked at how he reacts when he sees me, usually he barks and snarls at most people/other dogs but he's all cuddles when I come by. My sister's dog is high anxiety and hates most men but of course not me because Im special. (jk just great with dogs!)

Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet

Any special dietary/health needs or specific anxieties is always good information to have! My dog is very noise averse for example and sometimes has to be coaxed to leave the house for a walk if there is too much construction noise.

A typical day

I live near multiple woods and parks, have chuck its on standby so fetch is always an option. Love to go for long walks and runs and dogs are always up for it!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a golden retriever named Hailey, and when I was younger I helped my mom foster care for various puppies and cats. I am available weekdays during the summer. I am a 6 ft broad shouldered guy, so I can handle any dogs you throw at me. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I gaurentee your dog will get a ton of positive attention, and physical activity if need be! Hope to meet tons of cool dogs!

Mike took care of both my cat and dog multiple times. They are always happy to see him and I never worry about them when they are in his care. He is kind, patient and responsible. I highly recommend him.

I have three older dogs (ages 13-17) and Mike is incredibly patient and kind to them every time he visits. Mike is definitely one of their favorite people to see and I’m happy he’s gotten a chance to spend so much time with them.

Michael is an extremely responsible and patient pet sitter. He has a calm demeanor and is soft spoken. Michael loves dogs and cats, and has cared for both of mine on numerous occasions. I have never witnessed a pup react negatively to Michael. He has experience walking dogs long distances on leash, and knows how to work on basic commands and training.
