I Love Animals! All of them.

Pet care experience

I currently have four ACDs I have had this breed since 1999, They are my kids. My wife and I train them to compete in the Canine Aquatic Sport of Dock Diving. We built a pond and dock just for them. We are also planning on having boarding kennels in the future. I have been around pets my entire life. I don’t think I could live without them. Beside dogs we also have cats, chickens, turkeys, ducks and pygmy goats. I used to have horses and cows so I can handle feedings for all those mentioned. I will care for Your best friend as I would my own. My fee for drop in feedings for farm animals is the same as for dogs.

Mike was super helpful and his care and devotion to animals was apparent when we met. He took great care of my dog and she loved him.

Michael maintained great communication with us. Our cat was elusive, but he was kind enough to stop by an extra time or two to make sure she was eating and drinking. We appreciate his dedication!

Information Michael T. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds. I would like to know if the dogs are on leash or off leash trained. Are they reactive or or friendly towards other dogs and people. Of course I would like to know their name and history. I would like to know what they do for fun. Run, walk, frisbee, ball, tug of war, ride in car etc. Medical or Physical limitations. I would like to know if treats are ok? Just tell me everything about your dog. I would love to hear it all.

A typical day

I love to walk the Appalachian Trail or Shannondale Springs except when it is hunting Season. I also walk around the lake often with my pups. So if the pups are dropped off at my place that is probably where would walk. If I meet at the pups home, I would walk that immediate area or other dog friendly areas. I will literally walk your pups wherever you want me to.
