Best friend of all dogs everywhere

Pet care experience

I work from home all day, so am available for walks almost always. I had dogs growing up, all large rescues over 100 pounds, and have fostered three since then on my own that are more reasonably sized as well as taken care of family members' dogs that are quite small. I love being outside and take a lot of informal meetings on my cell phone, which is prime for taking dogs out every few hours. My apartment is large and dog proofed, lots of room to rove around for any curious pup. I also have three roommates who are around and love dogs, so there's lots of attention being given here. I understand the importance of getting down on a dogs level and giving them skin contact, especially when their owners are gone which can be particularly scary for them. Dogs love me and I love them, we just plain ol get along.

Michael has been coming once a week to walk with my dog - Hugo. Hugo warmed up to him immediately because he knew how to handle him. Michael was very patient, sometimes Hugo got anxious, he would spend time and pet him until he settled down. He is reliable and an outgoing guy. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a petsitter.

Mike is a responsible, friendly guy who loves dogs. In high school & college, he took great care of his family's dog, a big black-lab/great-dane mutt named Kazak, and more recently he fostered several dogs in Taiwan, where he lived for 2 years. Now that he's back in the U.S., I can only imagine that he and his wife miss having a furry friend around. I know he'd take great care of your pooch.
