Pawsome Dogs Make Life Less Ruff!

Pet care experience

I have a 5 year old Goldador (half golden retriever, half black lab) named Stella that I adopted as a puppy. 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 was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)

Terrific house sitter for our elderly dog Nellie. Mike was prompt, well-informed, and he clearly loves animals. Nellie warmed up to him immediately. Couldn't have asked for a better companion for Nellie. Would use him again in a heartbeat. Two thumbs up.

Mike was awesome! He took such great care of my dog while walking her. He went the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable and happy. Will absolutely be using him for all my future walks!

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.
