Pet care experience

Experienced Dog Handler!

I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes over the years. I love every pup, and every pup has unique behavioral and dietary needs, and they should all get the personalized treatment they deserve! As the experienced owner of a giant breed dog (and probably more in the near future), I want you to know that no matter the size and shape of your dog they will receive personalized care and fun time with me!

Dog Walking • févr. 24, 2026

Never had to have a dog walker before. Surgery on my dominant hand changed that. i knew i wanted a dependable person who loved dogs. i feel so lucky that Mike was on the list. Great communicator and, despite the truly crappy weather, G got his walks. Personable, dependable, and loves dogs. Highest recommendation.
