I love teacher’s pets
Pet care experience
I worked 23 years as a certified high school and college math and social studies teacher, who enjoyed working with young people, but I have always had an affinity for all types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I have had two cats - Critter and Korky, each of whom used to sneak up and sleep on top of me after I ha fallen asleep. I have had four dogs - Bonnie, Shades, Gibby, and Luna. Bonnie, a border collie that I named after my grandma, was my right hand dog during my teenage years and she would follow me anywhere. Gibby probably pulled at my heartstrings harder than any of the pets I had, because she one time watched me and my niece, Kirsti, who was about four years old at the time, sliding down a slide in a neighborhood park several times and doing a lot of laughing, then suddenly cut in front of Kirsti and started climbing the steps of the ladder behind me. I was scared and a bit shocked, because Gibby was so small (maybe 10 pounds) and there were about 10 steps on the ladder and he really couldn’t grip the metal steps at all. Kirsti waited patiently behind him, then he got to the top and slid down with no assistance. I waited at the bottom for him and gave him a big hug. He was so excited that he followed me up and down the slide several more times. It was one of the best memories of my life and myself, my niece, and Kirsti’s mother and my youngest sister, Micki, still share that story with others on a regular basis. I have numerous stories about my Siamese cat Korky, which was an extraordinary cat, who I had as a baby and passed away back in the summer of 2011.

You guys have been awesome! I look forward to booking with you again.
Mike would do great. An animal lover who had a siamese cat named Korky for many years. Korky was very much loved and very well cared for.
Mike has been an absolute blessing! PePe Silvia (my dog) loves Mike and is always happy when he arrives. Mike is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will update me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. I would recommend Mike to anyone with Animal needs.
Michael is a very gentle and caring person that will treat your pet as his own. He is meticulous in his care of all types of animals and goes out of his way to make them feel loved.

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know a lot about the dog’s habits and things that they enjoy doing. My daughter is crazy about smaller breed dogs, especially Korgis, but me and both of my kids love all dogs and cats.
A typical day
I will talk to the owner up front to find out a little about the pet’s likes and dislikes to give me an idea of what I can do to do make their pet happy and observe them to see what engages them. I have several nice parks in and near our neighborhood. I am a former marathon runner and my son is a very good cross country runner, so we love being outside and enjoying the outdoors. We are both very good frisbee throwers, so we definitely engage dogs that love discs.
