Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet

I am confident controlling and caring for any dog, but it's helpful to know their schedules, times that they eat, poo, walk, and any medications and dietary restrictions. I also find it helpful if the primary owner can spend a few minutes with me and the dog as we walk around the house, and an item of your clothing often calms an anxious dog.

A typical day

I typically take a new dog out to a nearby Forrest that's popular with dog walkers, but keep them on the lead unless I'm confident with their recall. They may get too many treats (that you confirm they are ok to eat).

Location

Considerate of needs, loves dogs

Pet care experience

Grew up with lots of different dogs, and started taking care of pets as a teenager. I've done it for friends over the years, and I'm currently studying to become a vetenary nurse assistant. I'm very careful with the needs of different dogs, and will listen to what you and your dog both need, and will keep you updated throughout my time with them.

Michael recently looked after my dog for the first time and I would have no hesitation in asking him to come again. He communicated very promptly, and quickly established a rapport with my dog. He sent me some great pictures and I felt very confident that she was having a great time with him. Many thanks Michael!

Michael did a great job looking after Lucy for a night while we were at a party in the area. He sent plenty of updates and videos showing Lucy was very happy and relaxed with him. Can definitely recommend Michael who puts heart and soul into looking after dogs.

Michael was fantastic with Mabel from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. As soon as we arrived at the spacious house with lovely garden, Michael took Mabel’s lead and she happily followed him. By the time I left her, Michael was already captivating Mabel with training skills and even had his own treats. Michael kept us fully updated with updates, photos and videos. There is no doubt that Mabel was treated as one of his family and treated to wonderful walks and a loving environment at home. We will definitely be using Michael’s services again and highly recommend him and his family to others.
