Dogs over humans! :)

Pet care experience

I am a 32 year old personal trainer. I miss having pets as I grew up with 4 dogs and 2 cats. I can't commit to owning one due to a few reasons. But if I can hang out with them as much as you need me to, then I will be happy to help. If I could have a farm full of dogs I definitely would love to rescue them all and give them a place to live. I walk every day in order to get steps in for myself, so why not add a cute companion for the walk. I live about 2 miles from HB Dog Beach, so I can give them walks to and/or on the beach if that's what you'd like.

Michael was awesome from beginning to the end of my booking. He communicated consistenly and flexible about meeting areas and special requests for the dog walk. He was punctual and courteous. I definitely will re-book, !

Only needed Michael for one night but had great communication the whole time, mollie got some nice walks in, and all went very smooth. Respectful guy, clean place, and reliable timing. Planning on having Mollie stay with Michael again in the future!

So grateful for Michael to take care of my beagle on last minute notice. My dog settled in nicely and Michael was attentive. Thankful for people like Michael!

Michael was amazing with Zoey! You could tell he was great with dogs the second we met. He is not shy of a dog with a bit of energy and clearly knew how to handle Zoey while I was away. This was my first time leaving Zoey and I was very nervous. Michael made me feel comfortable with having being away knowing she was being taken care of extremely well. We will definitely use Michael in the future.
