Dog Masseuse Releasing Doggy Stress

Pet care experience

I love walking dogs, looking out for them during walks, speaking to them during a walk, brushing them afterwards and finishing with a good massage! I have calmed down normally hyperactive dogs with my massages to the point that they lie down. I am all up for playing such as throwing tennis balls, tug of war and belly rubs. I am able to walk large breeds as a former college football player long ago. I regularly care for my dad’s dog in feeding his dog. I have walked several large breeds that were difficult for their owners but not a problem for me. One was a 120 lb Labrador, another was a 110 lb Doberman and a very strong 100 lb Dalmation. I love dogs!

Michael is a dog lover. Our 115 pound yellow lab, Remington will attest to Michael's capabilities as a dog caregiver. Michael is much more than a dog walker. Remington upon seeing Michael immediately starts wagging his tail and smiling. Once he lets Michael take more than two steps into the house he throws himself on the floor for a welcoming belly rub followed by a back and leg massage. Michael takes Remington on long walks followed by long games of catch. When Remington is finally tired there is no better pl,ace to take a nap than on top of Michael. Mike is a wonderful dog sitter and Rover.com would truly benefit by hiring him. Just ask Remington.

Information Mike A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know preferred trails, type of harness/collar and what the owner likes in walk disciplines. I have no breed preference.

A typical day

First recognize the importance of smelling everything without spending too much time in one area. I recognize that if the road is too hot for my feet, it’s too hot for dogs’ paws. Walks in the grass and nature are preferable.
