Reliable , Friendly and flexable retired dog lover

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner all of adult life. At the moment I am without a dog having lost my own last year. He was a 17 year old Border terrier. I have recently retired from full time work. I love walking and regularly walk 5 miles a day around my local park (Haslem) and Preston Docks. Although l have never looked after dogs professionally l am very confident with them and often look after my friends dogs. I have experienced in training my own dogs and am happy to assist with any dog training regime you may have. I will be the sole carer for the dog

Otis had the best day with Michael, he is so tired after his walks and all the fun he had! Michael kept me updated throughout the day, and was so friendly when dropping off and collecting. Would definitely book with Michael again😊

Sid has his first overnight stay last weekend and had a great time and was spoilt rotten. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mick for any dog care, we will definitely be using Mick again in the near future.

Michael has a natural love & affinity to dogs, my 7 month old cocker spaniel George, from day 1 they became good friends & George loves his days with him. Michael takes him on lots of fun long walks & always keeps us up to date with their day in messages & photos. It’s like home from home for George at Michael’s house I don’t have any worries as I know he’s looked after so well. I 100% recommend Michael to look after your dog

Thank you so much for looking after Ella, especially as it was very short notice. She really seemed like she enjoyed herself. Received regular updates and pictures as well. Will definitely recommend!
