All dogs are puppies at heart

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs throughout my life. I learned to walk and play with my Saint Bernard when I was a child and raised my German Shepherd and Husky/Border Collie/ Pitbull mix pups into the playful/trained dogs they are today. I believe that every dog is a member of the family and I will always put their needs first. I am a third year student at Boston University pursuing a dual degree in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology & Mathematics and am working part time for Weill Cornell Medicine. Pursuing a career in the medical field, I have developed strong proactive and a reactive mentality for any situation. Furthermore, I throw myself into the situation at hand in order to get the best possible outcome (i.e., I will go above and beyond for your best friend). I will always care for your dog as if he/she were my own. I will be more than happy to accommodate any request to ensure your best friend is happy and safe.

Michael has been amazing. He takes great picks and always has a detailed summary of his walk with Gin. I would recommend Michael.

I am so happy with Michael! He shows up as expected and gives such entertaining updates about the dogs. He seems to have more fun walking the dogs than the dogs themselves. 😊 He is so enthusiastic and my dogs are so happy to see him. Puts me at ease since I’ve been out of town and didn’t have the same experience with other dog walkers. Thanks so much Michael! A few more days to go…
