Pet care experience
I have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I do this because I legitimately love being around dogs. I grew up in the north suburbs of Chicago with an Australian Cattle Dog named Dodger. He lived to be 17 years old and was an amazing dog. Since then, I have not had my own pup, however I have been caring for others dogs. Some of the breeds I have cared for include Pitbulls, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Spaniels, Border Collies, Catahoulas, Boxers, Yorkies, Dalmatians, Mutts and more! I cannot wait to meet you and your dog. I love creating relationships with dogs and it genuinely makes me happy when I see a happy dog. I would be more than happy to meet you and your dog before caring for them. In fact, I would prefer this! You can meet me out and about in St Pete, or I can come meet wherever you prefer.
Reviews
Michael was great. We would highly recommend him!!
Not only did Michael take excellent care of our dogs, but he also kept our home tidy and secure while we were away. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my pet and house in their hands. We highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will undoubtedly be booking his services again in the future. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)

About Michael L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The safety and well being of your dog is the most important thing to me. I have cared for some dogs that are aggressive towards other dogs and I make sure to have this on my mind at all times. I've also cared for dogs that do not like to be pet or bothered on their walks. Whatever your dogs quirk is, I will be sure to accommodate your needs! Communication is key! I am more than happy to send wellness photos every day or on every walk. I know how important your dog is to you and I am here to make sure you have a stress free day while you are on vacation or working or whatever it is you may be doing!
Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about the personality of your dog. Is he/she good with children? With other people? With other dogs? Would you recommend bringing/not bringing your dog to any specific place? What is your favorite place to bring your dog? Are they ok riding in a car? How much exercise do you expect? Anything else you would like to share with me would make the experience even better for me and your lovable pup!
A typical day
I can provide any type of activity that you feel comfortable with. If your dog likes to go to a dog park, then I will go to a dog park. If your dog likes to walk along the beach, I can do that as well. If your dog enjoys going to breweries or Dog Bar then that can also be arranged. I am here to make sure that your buddy will have the best time while you are busy with vacation, work, or an emergency.

Availability
Currently I am employed at The Vinoy Hotel in downtown Saint Petersburg, as well as Craft Kafe (downtown location). I am working Monday-Friday from 6am-2pm. If you need your dog walked or fed after 2:00pm then I am a perfect fit for you. I can also stop by early in the morning if needed. Right now I am available on weekends at any time (depending on if I am not traveling). Tuesday nights I host Pub Trivia at St Pete Brewing . You can meet up with me at either location at 7:00pm every week!
