Reviews
Mick S. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
We were nervous with the transition from boarding to having a pet sitter, but Mick really helped put us at ease. We did a test run before our trip and we could tell that Willow really liked her. While on our trip, Mick sent us updates that included pictures and videos. She was also very quick to respond when I sent her a message to check in. If you are looking for a reliable pet sitter that will treat your dog like their own, I highly recommend Mick!
Mick was very friendly, communicative, and flexible. I picked up a happy, tired dog!

About Mick S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My dog eats twice per day, gets lots of treats and exercise, and makes frequent trips to the dog park to socialize and play. At night he sleeps where he wants in the apartment. When I'm out I crate with a Kong to avoid accidents. Any guest would be fully involved unless they have specific needs. Just let me know!
Home
Information Mick S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any behavioral challenges I should know of ahead of time so I can adequately prepare. I want to ensure I provide the safest environment for play time!
A typical day
All dogs have different preferences for socializing and playing so their level of involvement would depend on their needs, but the dogs I watch usually love to tag along to the park, pet store, or to spend time with friends. Canelo is very welcoming and provides enrichment and learning, especially for puppies, so sometimes we just sit inside and they wrestle. I have different types of toys and treats to share.
