"Paw-some" Dog Walker/Owner 25+ Yrs

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Mike and I am a dog walker aficionado, personal trainer(for humans), and Software Developer working remotely. Valedictorian in canine behavior, with a lifetime of experience with man's best friend. I've been walking dogs since I was old enough to hold the leash. I know how to handle a pack of poodles or a pack of Great Danes. I usually have to stretch for the Danes though. I love all breeds and sizes and am happy to walk them all. May even put them on an exercise plan.(Give me 10 burpees! Woof woof!) If you need a dog walker who will take your furry friend on a fun and safe adventure, look no further. I am your man...or dog in this case.

Michael is the best!! We always feel comfortable leaving Louie with him when we go away and can’t bring him. Highly recommended!!!!

Michael was communicative, my dog was well taken care of, and he also took good care of my apartment!

I highly recommend Michael for pet sitter services. I had to book last minute! Michael was accommodating to the needs! Coby and Freya immediately took comfort to him! I got daily updates with pictures! He left my apt spotless! I look forward to having him back again!

Michael was great with our shy pup-- she's usually very wary of new people, but he got her to trust him right away. He's reliable, communicates well, and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs.
