**Availability last updated 12/15! Available over the holidays! See my calendar for updated availability! :) Hi! Mike here! I've always been a dog lover, raising and caring for dogs since childhood. I work from home, so I like to get out over lunch to walk my dog, and figure why not help others? I know what it's like to be at work all day, wishing you could be home with your dog, out and about. So I'm here to help! Dogs need as much exercise as they can get to reduce certain behaviors caused from boredom, and to help improve their mental and overall health. Services: Dog Walking For our 30-60 minute walk, I will take your dog out for a brisk or gentle walk, depending on their needs. Depending on the area, I like to take different routes so your pup can experience new sights, sounds, and smells. I can also take photos and track the walk for updates. I'll make sure the doggies do their business, and return them home. I can also do small tasks such as treats, food, water. I will usual be walking your dog with my sidekick, Max, and possibly another dog, so they will also get extra socialization! Dog Walking Availability Hours: Generally weekdays from 11am-1pm and 5pm-10pm Dog Daycare (The Friends Zone): My dog Max needs some cool doggy friends! I am around my place during the week, and Max could use some companions to keep him company. I've taken him to doggy daycares, but a full day with 40+ crazy barking dogs can be a bit overwhelming for older, more introverted dogs like Max, who still enjoys socializing in smaller doses with other dogs, but also needs his peace and quiet time as well. If your dog is in the same boat, and could use some socialization and affection during the day, Max's pad may be the place for your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard, but there is plenty of room to run around inside, and I will always take the dogs out for at least two 30-minute walks around the lake here at my place. We also have a dog park where they can run around off-leash, with plenty of nature! Once again, I live in an apartment, so prefer only small to medium sized dogs. Doggy Sleepovers (Dog Boarding) For dog boarding, your dog will participate in dog daycare throughout the day, and stay the night with my dog Max and I (and possibly one or two other dogs at most). Your dog will receive plenty of affection and care, and will be fed and cared for per your requests and their needs. The only thing I ask for boarding is that occasionally I will need to leave for a short time, and because I live in an apartment, will need to crate the dogs to prevent any markings or damage. Most dogs are well behaved, but can be a bit nervous and act differently in a new environments, so I don't like to risk it. Also, prefer small to medium sized dogs as well due to space. Experience I've volunteered at multiple dog shelters around the world, helping to walk and care for various sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. I've also done obedience training for dogs with aggression and other behavioral issues. Many friends and family come to me to care for their dogs while they are away, and they always have a great time! Rest assured, your dog will be safe with me!
