Calm and Compassionate Care w/Fun
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs since childhood and have always had a dog as an adult. I currently have 2 dogs and the help of the whole family, especially our animal loving and training daughter (I lead all care and activity). Whether it be puppyhood, senior care, or medical issues including special diets and medication, I'm comfortable with a wide range of individualized instructions. I am centrally located in Mt. Washington with the benefits of a fenced-in back yard, a dog park and hiking trails within blocks. Additionally, I take walks every day and our guests are promised to have plenty of opportunities to play and receive attention. I love dogs!
Cat care experience
Michael also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
You could not find a more loving, responsible, trustworthy and experienced pet caregiver than Mike! I have known him for over twenty years, and he is a true pet lover. He has always owned both a dog and cat for as long as I have known him. I have gone on his epic walks with him and his dog on Saturday mornings, and he has cared for my two cats in my home for up to ten days at a time. He even has experience with hermit crabs, fish, and small lizards!

Safety, trust & environment
haIve a fenced in yard, comfy cushions (and couches although less preferred), and a crate available if that's requested. Dogs are walked daily with one walk somewhere from 1-5 miles and given endless opportunities to play (and learn). I can bathe dogs as well but shy away from grooming. My dogs are fed 2-3 times daily with treats when appropriate; no people food. I personalize all care based on needs and requests.

Information Michael T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any special needs, interests, and routine. It's also helpful to know if there are certain commands and prompts that our guest is familiar with as well as how they typically get along with other dogs and people.
A typical day
I walk and hike daily, play in the backyard as well as indoor play with balls and toys. We have access to a dog park if that's a good outlet for our guests. I'm also known to have impromptu photo sessions as well (no props or costumes). Guests can also expect as much cuddle time as they would like.

Availability
Pet care is a part of life each and every day. Times of day are insignificant as pet care happens very early, late at night, and all the time in between as needed.
