A typical day

I’m a student pilot who just moved to Carlsbad.i love taking my dog to the beach, on hikes and to run around the neighborhood! I had to leave my dog with family in Hawaii while in school so I am looking to fill my pet love by walking and caring for other peoples pets when needed!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for the last 5 years. I have fostered 4 dogs as well as have two of my own. I am good with dogs of all sizes. I have fostered puppies all the way to pregnant Pitbull. I have my own Rottweiler and pug. I’m coming through with dogs and cats of all sizes. I primarily work with larger dogs, but I’m gonna go with the smaller ones. I also work with all types of pets. I have experience with birds and reptiles as well.

Michael provides excellent care for my German shepherd and was so flexible and helpful when my travel plans changed due to canceled flight. We are so grateful for him

Michael was great with our dogs! He was very attentive, on time, and gave us updates while he was at the house throughout the day. We will certainly use Michael again. Thanks so much, Michael!
