Safety, trust & environment

I recognize the significance of maintaining your dog's routine. In addition, I am more than happy to engage in playtime with your dog, whether it's within the safety of your fenced yard or by taking them to the nearby park for a leisurely walk on a leash. Rest assured, your furry companion will have a wonderful time!

Information Mike B. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any unique requirements or behaviors your dog may have so that I can accommodate them accordingly. Additionally, let me know if they have any specific dietary needs that need to be taken into consideration.

A typical day

When I have the opportunity to care for your dog, I prioritize providing mental and physical stimulation. I make sure to take your dog for a walk in their familiar neighborhood to do their business, and allow them to explore their surroundings and engage their senses. If there's a park nearby, I can also take them there to enjoy a refreshing walk. During our time together, we can also play with their favorite toys, keeping them mentally engaged and entertained. It's a joy to watch them thrive and have a great time while in my care.

Pet care experience

I have a 5 year old Goldador (half golden retriever, half black lab) named Stella that I adopted as a puppy, and recently adopted a Golden Retriever puppy named Magnolia. I have participated in several puppy training classes as well as additional training classes focused on obedience and sport. In the past, I have also provided dog care services for my neighbors and friends. I take pleasure in looking after dogs and engaging in playtime with dogs of all breeds.

Mike is very professional and consistent with watching my two dogs. Takes them on their walks and make sure they have plenty of water and food. I use Mike anytime we go away.

Being able to trust someone with Bowie has always been so difficult for me but Mike makes it easy!!! Updates during the visit and once the visit is complete are always so helpful at keeping my mom guilt at bay. Bowie loves Mike and I am so grateful!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
