I love dogs, and dogs love me.
Pet care experience
We rescued a pit bull mix, Reyka, 3 years ago. I've watched her transform from a scared, probably abused, shy dog into the sweetest best friend. She and I are like Red and Rover now even though she still stays won't let strangers touch her. I have the patience to work with all dogs. I’m recently retired from a defense industry computer job, I'm looking to fill my days being active and outdoors. I'm a volunteer at the Howard County Animal Control and Rescue Center in Columbia where I exercise and socialize dogs and cats, and help new pet owners choose their forever pet. I take my dog Reyka to state and county parks and we hike the trails. I grew up in Wisconsin; I don't mind it when it's cold out. Your dog will get a vigorous walk on trails and sidewalks of about 1.5 miles and 30 minutes. The walk is tracked in Strads and a screen capture of the route is texted at the end of the walk. I can also feed dogs and cats, scoop litter, give Insulin shots and other meds, pick up mail, etc.
Reviews
We are so glad to find Mike! He is attentive and reliable. He always keeps us updated about what happened during the visits and the walks. I couldn't be more happy that our dog is in a good hand. Thank you so much again for all the pictures and vidioes. We will keep using your service!!!
Mike was attentive on watching our girl Charlie and was easy to communicate with.
You can trust Mike to care lovingly and responsibly for your dog. He has a special empathy with dogs and they find him very approachable.

Information Mike B. would like to know about your pet
It’s always best to meet the dog prior, but I have plenty of experience doing “cold” meetings. There’s a soecial place in my heart for small lap dogs but I’ve worked with dogs as big as Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
A typical day
I know the Columbia trails like the back of my hand. And having the CA app helps. If your dog likes to swim I know a few places around town. I would take your dog in my car to a dog park if requested.
