Pet care experience

I look forward to meeting your pet!

**Just a heads up, there’s a pitbull that lives with my tenant below me. He never comes into my space and will always be kept apart from any pet I’m watching** I'm in real estate sales so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available mornings afternoons and evenings. I'm a Pittsburgh native, raised in Moon Township and I live near the Bellevue area now. I have a house that any dog would love. I love the city and the surrounding region. I can access many parts of town easily from where I live and I am often in the city proper. Lawrenceville, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and Regent Square are some of my favorites. There is nothing more I enjoy than walking around town, through the great parks that our city offers, and around the various neighborhoods in the area. And I would love to have your dog join me on my adventures. Hope to hear from you.

Mike was conscientious and a good companion for Murray, my English Springer Spaniel, during Murray's weeklong stay at Mike's home. I recommend Mike and hope to have him watch Murray again in the future.

Michael took excellent care of our 9mo old pup for a week! He made sure she got plenty of exercise, walks and love. I think she really enjoyed her time with him, and we will absolutely book with him again.

Michael took great care of our dog. He was easy to communicate with and our pup came home happy. We will use Michael's services again!

Mike watched and walked my two dogs for four days and everything was great. I’ve always been apprehensive about having non-family members walk the dogs when we’re not in town, but Mike I would highly recommend to anyone. He’s excellent with dogs and very attentive and caring. Very reliable never had any issues in terms of the walks with the dogs. I will certainly be using his Services again. I’ve already booked him for subsequent trips and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
