I'm a consultant who works from home and has free time during the day. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible as schedules change. Dogs and I have a great bond and I've spent years trying to understand them better.

About Michael S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if they were my own, with genuine, meaningful interactions. After the passing of my own dog 18 months ago, I've focused on providing love and care to other's pets and fill my cup with as many pup kisses as I can.
Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet
Happy to work around your pet's specific needs, whether that's a minimum amount of exercise, medication, food sensitivities, environmental sensitivities, or special toys. Dogs are as unique as humans and each should get its own kind of care.
A typical day
Whatever the dog loves, we'll do. It's about them after all, isn't it? Whether that's cuddle on the couch, hike a trail, find some sniffs around the neighborhood, or take a car ride! I believe dogs should have daily wonderful experiences and I try to give them that.

Reviews

Mike was great with Bati, and communicated with me during the days he was visiting Bati, I know Bati had a great time!

Mike was very patient and kind walking our shy dog, Ruby. I definitely recommend!

Michael was great with Bati, he keep us posted about Bati's care, and sent us updates with pics! I know Bati had a great time!
Mike has shown nothing but love and joy when hanging out with our pup Nova, he was a great pet sitter and I'd recommend him to anyone!
