Ex Dog Owner Wants to Care for Dogs
Pet care experience
Since I was young I've grown up taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes in both my mom and my dad's household. My mom's household had 2 yorkies who accidentally had puppies (oops!) that I was responsible for taking care of. I walked, fed, and bathed all of them. My dad's household had 2 german shepherds that I was frequently around. I would play with them and take them on walks. When my friends were out of town I was also the person they would ask to check in on their dogs to feed and let them out the house. I've been around dogs all my life and since I've been away from my childhood pets, I've been looking for ways to get back into being around dogs because I love the joy that humans and dogs bring each other! I'm currently working remotely full time so it's easy for me to spend time with your dog! Outside of my meeting times I'm able to take your dog out on walks and play with them. I may need to leave for ~2hrs to go to the gym unless your dog has separation anxiety in which case I would plan accordingly. I have a moderately sized studio that I live in by myself so your dog will have the entire space to lounge around and play. I have a doggy camera as well so I can keep an eye on your dog if I need to step out. I also live very close to Alta Plaza Park where your dog will be sure to love to run around
Reviews
Michael was so easy to coordinate with and took such great care of my newly adopted rescue. He sent lots of pictures throughout the day and Skipper came home so happy and tiered from all the walks :) I’d definitely recommend Michael and will use him again!
Michael is great! He took our dog out for 60 minute walks and was super communicative, before, during and after the walks. He was punctual and sent photos of the outings. We will definitely be using him in the future!
Michael watched our dog Hobbes while we traveled to central California for my brothers wedding. Very easy to coordinate with, sent some fun updates on the way, and kept our boy safe. Would definitely have Hobbes stay with him again.
Michael is a pro! He’s a great communicator and caretaker. He put up with Bean’s attitude! We appreciate him and will definitely book again with him!

Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should account for. I'd also like to know what your policy for human food is :). I'd also like to know how much your dog barks since I live in an apartment complex.
A typical day
A typical day with me would involve hanging out on the couch with your pup! Since I WFH I could provide them all the attention they need (or give them space if they want). I can take frequent breaks with your pup to get some sun at Alta Plaza Park or Lafayette Park, both of which are very close by, where they could play with other dogs (if they want). If we're really feeling spontaneous during the week, they could take a trip down to Mountain View with me to work from my dog friendly office. If your dog is boarding with me over the weekend I would take them on some fun adventure throughout the bay!
