Currently working all of my different side hustles, rather than a full time job, and dog walking and house sitting is my main time commitment. What does your dog need? Just a walk or visit? Same thing in my opinion. Normal type of daily care, or something overnight? Select daycare or house sitting. Full time/ high maintenance/ constant attention? Typically for puppies or much older dogs who need constant potty breaks, OR pups with severe separation anxiety or bad habits when left alone. Select boarding please. Money is not as important as giving your pet the care they need. Happy to change my rates for you if need.

My house or your place, any of the services can happen at either place. Caring for your pet in your house, will look as close to the same as if you were there yourself. I will do my best to keep the same schedule for food and walks. Can count on up to 3 walks a day (if need), potty breaks, lots of attention and affection. Just a different face LoL. I will also look after your house and property, doing my best to clean up after myself, so you don't have to when you return from your trip. Happy to wash all linens and towels I use.

Information Mike A. would like to know about your pet

Any medicines needed, and any bad behaviors I need to watch out for. Knowing if they get along with other dogs is good also. Sometimes I bring other dogs around if they are all friendly.

A typical day

I can take them not just on walks but Hikes, Beaches, Dog Parks, Outdoor events, and a few restaurants and stores that I know are dog friendly.

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Mike. I love dogs, but cannot have one of my own since I rent. Let me help you take care of your dog while you are gone :) OR even when you are around, but don't have time. I am a high energy extrovert, willing to play for hours, go for long walks, and care for your furry friends. I am very reliable and many of my friends can attest to being there when I am needed. Plenty of experience with dogs and cats of ALL shapes, sizes, AND Personalities. Does your have fluffy family member have special needs or strange temperament? I've seen most situations. Also willing to take dogs on hikes or to the beach, if they need adventures. There's no way to replace a dog's mom or dad, but I'd love to be the fun uncle :)

Mike was really great with our dog Bullseye. Bullseye is strong and can be a lunger, but we saw first hand Mike handle him really well. Mike listened to our instructions and texted us when he had questions. He really knows his pets!

Thank you Mike for taking such great care of Luna! We really appreciate the daily updates and photos. Plus you changed the bed sheets and left the house all clean! Luna seemed happy and we will definitely call you again! 🐾🐾

We returned from an 8 day trip to happy dogs and a spotless house.
