Pet care experience

Variety of Dog Care Experiences

I've taken care of my family and friend's dogs for 8 years. I'm comfortable working with dogs with special needs as my own maltipoo went through spinal surgery and recovery.

Michael is exceptional with animals and has walked and dog sat for us on numerous occasions. There is no one I trust more with my dog.

I have known Mike for over 19 years. He is a caring human being who loves animals and our planet. He is a responsible dog owner and animal enthusiast. Mike works well with his own dog and also boards and offers individual caring and safe boarding for clients dogs in his home. Mike works well and relates to dogs with strong love and firm direction. Dogs positively respond to him and love him back! My dog loves Mike. She gobbles up his attention. He plays with her and cuddles her and gives her affection. She minds him and listens for his direction. Mike demonstrates solid leadership and is good with dog behavior. Mike understands dogs needs. He positively reinforces good behavior. You can feel confident in leaving your dog in Mike's care. Your dog will benefit from having spent time with Mike.

We couldn't be happier with the care our two dogs get with Mike. He genuinely loves what he does, and it shows — he's excellent at reading their cues and understanding exactly what each of them needs. Watching both of our dogs at once is no small task, but he handles it with so much patience and care, treating them like his own. Our dogs are always so happy to see him, and we never worry when they're in Mike's care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caregiver who truly gets dogs!
