Pet care experience

Animal lover and attentive carer

Hi! I have been in and around dogs for my whole life and live in Lincoln with my 8 month old Ridgeback/Rotty cross, Mavis. My mum owns a pet services business so over the years I've had experience walking and living with an extremely wide range of breeds, temperaments and excitement levels. Sometimes we had "doggy daycare" with up to five dogs so I am not easily overwhelmed. Please consider me for helping you out with your dog and you can guarantee that I'll give only attention, safety, fun and happiness to your furry friend!!

Had a lovely meet and greet with Michael first. He has a nice outside space and a little spot next to the canal for the dogs to run around. The dogs had a lovely time judging by how tired they were.

Our Dexter was thoroughly looked after and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience with Michael. So thankful for dexter and mavis to get on so well, and get upto lots over his long weekend stay. I would recommend him to anyone, we feel so comforted that dexter only being 1year old and having such a positive first pet sitter experience and will definetly be returning!

Michael cancelled our booking 4 days before our holiday. He seemed ideal, the meet and great went very well, and we booked a single day for him to look after our dog on Sunday 9th August. However, when we collected our dog on Sunday evening, Michael informed us that he was having second thoughts about our longer booking, because of how lively our dog was (We know he can be a handful but this was no secret, that's why we have a meet and great), stating that he works from home all day, taking phonecalls from customers. Had we not booked the Sunday, which was an unexpe addition to our plans, I fear our 5 days away would have been interrupted, as Micheal would not have been best placed to cope with the needs of our dog. It's a shame, as he seems to be a really decent bloke, but has left us scrabbling for new sitter, 4 days before our holiday, amidst work and all the other planning, when we thought we had it locked down.

Michael and his partner Lydia are brilliant. I immediately felt reassured that they'd take great care of Mac, they kept us really well updated with pictures and videos. Will certainly be using their services again.

Highly reccomend Michael and we will certainly be going back. My Luna is a very excitable, high drive dog who is not for everybody but Micheal handled it amazingly. Couldn't be happier with the care that was given.

Schedule

I work from home and can do early, lunchtime or evening walks plus weekends. Im always up from 6am so an early and exhaustive ball-throwing-walk is the norm for my neice-dog, Ruby, Though relaxed and normal walks certainly aren't a non-possibility.
