Pet care experience
I started dog-sitting for neighbors when I was 13, and have never given it up. I've lived and worked in Stamford for 10 years, and currently work full time in a management level position, which allows me to have a flexible schedule, particularly during the day. Over the years I have taken care of many breeds, from Toy Poodles to Walker Coon Hounds (pictured) and every size in between. I do not currently have a dog of my own, which means yours will have my undivided attention! I would also rather take care of your dog in the environment they are familiar with. It will reduce their stress since you'll be away! Summed up, I am a trusted, loyal and resourceful professional, and looking forward to meeting you and your pooch!
Reviews
Love the care and updates! Thank you!
There are not enough words to express the gratitude we have for Mike. Our weekend away meant so much more to us knowing he was with our precious pups. He is patient, kind and so very understanding of canines, and mine need all of that!! So thank you so very much.
Our Julia is very particular, and she LOVES Michael V.! We were thrilled to have him update us regularly with pictures of our happy girl getting TLC while we were away. I even found her on the guest bed the day after we got home - a place she is normally doesn't go - obviously missing Mike. Thank you! It's so nice to know that we have someone to turn to when we need to leave our sweet girl home.
Since our out- of- state vacation when Michael cared for them for over a week, our three dogs love Michael and are very bonded with him. We feel very comfortable leaving them with him and has added to our flexibility to go out and do things away from home.

Information Michael V. would like to know about your pet
I would love to meet you and your dog before any arrangement is made. It will give them a sense of trust, compared to a stranger just walking into your home. I don't discriminate on breed or size, I welcome all!
A typical day
I have a Stamford park & beach pass which will allow me to bring your dog, but only if you choose! I prefer to keep your dog within familiar places and surroundings while you're away to keep anxiety to a minimum.
