I'm deeply passionate about animals
Pet care experience
Throughout my 21-year military career and my 20 years in Michigan, I've been a devoted pet owner, caring for several dogs and cats. Following my retirement from TSA in 2022, where I served as a K9 supervisor from 2017 to 2022, I actively participated in training the dogs under my supervision.
Reviews
I enthusiastically recommend Mike as a dog walker and sitter for my Pressa Canario, Fritz. Mike’s reliability and genuine affection for animals shine through in every interaction. He ensures Fritz’s well-being with punctuality and professionalism, creating a nurturing environment filled with play and affection. I trust Mike implicitly with Fritz’s care, making him the perfect choice for anyone seeking top-quality pet care.
Choosing my dad as a pet sitter will be the best decision you can make for your furry friend. His genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction I’ve seen him have with any pet, and I always feel confident leaving my zoo (3 dogs 2 cats) in his care. I don’t know anyone with higher integrity.
My Dad is awesome!!! He had multiple pets over the years and seemed very compassionate about animals just as they were like his own children. He cared for my 4 year old Pitty and 6 year old Mini Schnauzer. As soon as my Dad walked in the door he was welcomed with big hugs from my Pitty. I knew it was a good fit then. He cared for them the week I went out of town. He kept me updated daily with messages and pics. Followed directions flawless and Asked when he was unsure of something. I appreciated my Dad so much and have recommended him to others to use.
About Michael L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Since moving to Florida in September 2022, we haven't had any pets. I prefer caring for clients' pets in their own homes because I believe the pet will feel more comfortable in its familiar environment.
Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me of any special needs your dog may have prior to my arrival. I'm dedicated to providing them with the specific care they require.
A typical day
I'll ensure your dog enjoys a pleasant stroll around the neighborhood, and if permitted, I'd gladly take them to a nearby park. Playing fetch with a ball is something I've enjoyed doing with my own dogs regularly.
