Pet care experience

Dog buddy :)

I've cared for dogs of various sizes all of my life. Big dogs, little dogs, sport dogs, herding dogs and rescue dogs. All different in their own special ways and loved them all. We currently have a 2 year old mixed breed from Louisiana named Beau, who loves to run, play, swim, hike and cuddle.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard at home and am very comfortable caring for your dog in your home the way you prefer. Please let me know if they have particular leashes, harnesses or treats they prefer when I visit. I'd love a quick meet and greet first to make sure your pups are happy and feel safe with me.

I've known Mike for 5 yrs and have seen firsthand how naturally caring and compassionate he is with animals. He is incredibly affectionate and attentive, and one of the things I appreciate most is his ability to read an animal's behavior and recognize when they may be uncomfortable or need to be removed from a situation. Mike has had dogs of his own and has experience caring for geriatric dogs, so he understands that every dog has different needs, abilities, and routines. He's also active and enjoys long hikes, making him equally comfortable with dogs who love an adventure and those who need a little extra patience and care. Mike is dependable, kind and an excellet communicator. I would feel completely comfortable trusting him with my dog and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genunie care and affection.
