About Michael R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a pretty decent sized apartment, that's CLEANED & SANITIZED DAILY, has AC/HEAT, non-smoking, and always has some toys, blankets, and sanitized food/water bowls ready, just in case the owner doesn't bring them. I also take the pets outside quite frequently, as much as possible honeslty! Also, not just to potty, but to explore the neighborhood, RUN for extended periods of time, and to constantly practice/improve use of commands, and healthy interactions with other people/pets/stimulation we may encounter along the way!
Information Michael R. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference about breeds, sizes, types of dogs, I'm open to working with any dog, and have experience with all different types, including puppies, elderly dogs, sick dogs, and special needs dogs!
A typical day
A typical day is spent both indoor and outdoor, with frequent walks/runs, (approx every 2 hours max between). I also like to utilize this time for leash/"heel" commands for obedience training, as there is always something exciting/distracting. I definitely make it a point to get lots of physical energy exerted, as it's very necessary/beneficial to their health, and many dogs don't get the exercise they need! Inside, I also have some playtime with toys/balls, most dogs love a good round of fetch, and it's another great way to easily practice commands!

Paw-sitive Vibes for Your Pup!
Pet care experience
Welcome to my profile! Growing up in a lively household filled with both dogs and a variety of other animals, I developed a profound love and understanding of animal behavior from a young age. With over five years of professional dog-sitting experience, I've cared for breeds of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring each pup receives the attention and affection they deserve. My unique upbringing has equipped me with the skills to manage not just dogs, but also other pets, making me a versatile caregiver who can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your furry family member. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling up on the couch, I am dedicated to making your dog's experience enjoyable and enriching. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I can't wait to meet them!
Reviews
Thank you so much for your help and care for our dog. Michael sent photos and a vielo and did everything I asked. Thank you 😊
Very caring and attentive to my dachshund mix.
I’ve been working with Michael for several weeks now. He takes care of my dog while I am working for 40 plus hours a week. My dog loves Michael! He takes her on walks/ runs, plays with her, and does some training as he is passionate about animals. My dog is always super excited when we pull up to drop her off with Michael. He always goes above and beyond and will make me a coffee or come curbside so I don’t have to leave my car when dropping or picking up my dog. He’s a great dog lover and caregiver. Highly recommend!
