Love Dogs, Retired

I’ve been helping a friend who has a dog walking business. Sprightly Paws and have enjoyed it so much. We are both members of the Exeter Run Club. My black lab has passed and I miss time spent with dogs.

Michael is incredible with dogs. I trust a very small handful of people with my dog, and Michael is one of them. I can trust my dog will have a great time, feel loved and will be safe. My dog is very active and loves going for long walks or trail runs with Michael. He's also not easy to handle being 100lbs and is reactive on leash, which Michael is able to handle. He has a calm nature that dogs gravitate towards. He's honest and reliable and truly loves spending time with animals. I highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed.

Michael is everything you'd want in a dog walker: he's reliable, communicates well, prioritizes safety and, perhaps most importantly, really enjoys the time he spends with the dogs.

I have know Mike for many years now and I have know him to be a hug dog lover. He is very reliable and dependable. He will be a great person to take care of your beloved dog or dogs.

Micheal is fantastic with dogs! I don't trust too many people with my dog, Axel; Michael is one of the very few I'd trust without question. Micheal is calm and caring, but also active and fun! We run together with our run club and EVERY dog (and human) there is always happy to see him! I'll add that he is an honest and trustworthy person.
