Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs for many years, since I was a boy and I got my first Black Labrador, Charlotte. I have owned several dogs in my life, and have also had a dog with special needs. This means that being ready to handle epileptic seizures without warning, as well giving medication multiple times per day has become second nature for me. I also have formal training in the medical field (non-veterinary), which allows me to generally assess the dog's current state of well-being and identify any warning signs that may present themselves. It's unlikely that any dog in my care will ever need medical care, but you can rest easy knowing that your loved one will be in excellent hands. Additionally, I am very good at quickly building rapport with any new dog that I meet. This is excellent in situations where the dog is put into a new setting or household, if only temporary, as they would be when they first arrive at my place. I live in a nice single-building apartment with electronic key fob access for security, but also has plenty of green space for walks.
Reviews
Michael was AWESOME. He watched our two dogs for a week, staying with them in our home, while we were out of town. They were so very well taken care of! He kept their normal schedule (eating, walks, playtime) and sent us pictures and regular updates about how they were doing, and in particular about some behavior issues we've had with one of our dogs that we wanted his help to keep track of. He was easy to communicate with, super friendly and caring about our pups (and our peace of mind). We are thrilled to have met Michael and look forward to trusting him with our doggos in the future.
Michael was wonderful! He took care of my dog and cat while I was away. He maintained regular contact throughout, including sending me photos and updates of how my pets were doing. My dog requires medication (multiple pills) twice a day, and Michael was comfortable with giving him his meds and always on time. I know my dog enjoyed having the company and someone to play ball with while I way away (the cat mostly just slept apparently). Overall, my pets were happy and healthy when I came home. I definitely recommend Michael and would have him watch my pets again! Thanks!

- I have no breed preferences - I would like to know about current level of potty training - I would like to know about certain behaviors like chewing, marking, excessive barking, etc. - I would like to know about any medical conditions
A typical day
There are several parks within a 5-minute drive of my apartment, if the dog is comfortable traveling in a car. My apartment is located in a residential area, with plenty of green space and backstreets with sidewalks. There is also a small 'dog park' area on the grounds of my apartment, which is great for them to quickly do their business.
