Pet care experience
Dogs Are Family to Me
Lifelong Morris Plains resident providing reliable, professional dog walks and personalized pet care right in your neighborhood. I bring integrity, consistency, and genuine care to every visit. I’ve grown up with many breeds including loyal Labs, energetic Terriers, and playful Beagles. Dogs are an important part of my life so providing walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and short-term sitting comes naturally. My calm, dependable presence helps even anxious dogs feel secure and happy. Safety is always my top priority (consistent leash handling, area awareness, weather checks) and I tailor each walk to fit your dog’s needs. You can trust that I'II treat your dog with the same care I've always given my dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
With a strong personal commitment to health and fitness (and a sports background), I'm fully equipped for active walks while keeping your dog safe and engaged.
Ratings and reviews
Mike is everything one could ask for in a Rover. He’s reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. Very grateful to work with him
Once again, Mike did a wonderful job taking care of Ollie. He knows that Ollie doesn’t like the rain so they have a short business trip and brought Ollie back in which is exactly what he wanted. Not only that Mike noticed that I had packages on the front porch getting soaked, and he took the time to bring everything in put it in the back entryway where it wouldn’t leak on the hardwood floor floors. Mike is an outstanding dog walker and human being!
Great recommendation from a neighbor and will be using Mike again!
I never worry when Mike is in charge of Oliver! Well, Oliver thinks he’s in charge but we know better. Mike is the best.
Mike has been taking great care of Jessy and Rus! They love him! Always on time, great reports and I know I can always trust him!
Once again, Mike took wonderful care of Ollie! Ollie loves his Mike visits and Mike reported every Ollie activity that took place. I never have to worry when Mike is in charge. Highly recommend!
