Honestly, I'm a dog whisperer.

Pet care experience

If you have 2 dogs I will only charge you a total of $50 a night! Also, I’m a 1 per center. That means if you put 100 dog lovers in a room, I’m the one who is the biggest dog lover of them all. I will treat your dog like family—the only danger is that when you come to pick up your pup, he/she may not want to leave, lol!! I owned 4 Labs over the course of 46 years & have 2 more years of Rover and freelance experience and have also worked at a great doggy daycare facility. I’m an empty nester who works during the week and so does my wife (thus I cannot own my own dog any longer), but am fully available on weekends starting on Friday night thru Sunday nite. For weekends that begin on Friday night, I will only charge for 2 days.

Mike is amazing! He created a fun and safe environment and showered my pups with love, keeping them happy and comfortable throughout the stay. His communication was excellent, providing updates and photos. If you're looking for a dog sitter who truly cares, this is the one. Your dog will have a blast, and you'll have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Highly recommend!

Mike was so incredibly nice and friendly! He did an amazing job communicating back and forth, sending pictures, and making sure he knew everything about how to take care of my dog. You can really tell how much he loves dogs. Ziggy had a great time! I highly recommend Mike if you're looking for someone to watch your dog. He also even does 2 dogs for the price of one!

Mike is the most kind, caring, honest, young man, who loves dogs as much as he loves his friends. He can be trusted with your dog in your home. He will give your pet as much attention and exercise as required as he has the right aptitude to be involved with dogs. Having Mike take care of your dog is like having the dog's favorite family member doing so. You will be impressed.
