Been caring for dogs my whole life.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs my whole life. My family has had dogs and cats since I was born. All different types. I love dogs, I'm good with them, and I know what they need. I live in a lovely neighborhood with plenty of other dog owners. My first dog's name was Lucky. He was a stray we found around the corner from my house. We took him to the vet, got him his shots, and the rest was history. I'm an actor, so I have a lot of free time as well as a fenced yard in the back of my apartment. It's the perfect atmosphere for dogs, big or small. My mother is an animal lover as well and has raised me similarly.

Michael is a true animal lover, which makes him "purrfect" for dog sitring! He is so pleasant, reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. My dogs love him! I recommend him highly.

We love having Michael take care of our dog! He's very patient and is able to cope with our dog's slight anxiety. We know that our pup is in good hands when he's with Michael and get's his lengthy afternoon walk in when my husband and I are unable to leave work. We love Mike!

I have personally known Michael for several years and can attest to him being a great person not only towards other people, but pets too. Mike has walked my own dogs on several occasions and he always does a good job of making sure they've been walked for long enough and cleaning up after them when they go to the bathroom. Mike also owns 2 dogs of his own, so I know he's an animal person and will take care of my dogs well when I ask him to care for them.

I've seen Michael around dogs, and it's blatantly obvious that he's the type of person who would genuinely love any dog in his is care. He's an incredibly driven and responsible person in all aspects of his life, and if I had a dog of my own I wouldn't hesitate for a second to leave he/she in Mike's hands. I can guarantee that any animal in his care wouldn't just be seen as a "job," but as a new friend. People say that if a dog likes/dislikes a person, always trust the dog. Well, two dogs that I recently took care of went nuts over Mike. I'd say that's a good sign. Your animals will be in wonderful hands, guaranteed.
