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 took wonderful care of our dog and home. She got tons of exercise and was relaxed and happy upon our return home. I appreciated being able to leave her with no stress, knowing she was well cared for!

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.
