Pet care experience

Hello fellow pet lovers, I'm Mike. I've been taking care of pets for over a decade, big and small. Growing up with a variety of pets, I came to understand their unique needs and personalities. Dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles - I've cared for them all. But it's not just about feeding or walking them; it's about connection, training, and understanding their moods. Safety is a priority for me. If your pet has specific needs, like medications or a special diet, I've got it covered. And I know it can be tough being away from them, so I'll keep you updated with photos and notes. I'm eager to meet you and your furry (or feathered or scaled) family members. I'll treat them like my own, ensuring they're content and well-taken care of while you're away. Hope to meet you soon!

Mike was great with our dog Milly. He is a natural with dogs and was a calming presence for our little crazy dog. Our dog is recovering from an acl tear, which means that she had a lot of activity restrictions. Mike did a great job at following our instructions for her care. We will be using Mike as long as he continues to work with Rover.

Mike did a great job taking care of my pup! He sent me pictures and updates every day. He was also very quick to respond whenever I reached out.

BEST boarding experience ever! Mike kept us updated on my cat and dog, lots of cute pictures and videos. He really went above and beyond, even teaching my pet how to sit and getting him an adorable little toy and treats! I will definitely always come back to Mike for boarding, as he took AMAZING care of my babies!

Safety, trust & environment

In both my own home and a client's home, I am committed to providing the utmost care and respect. When pets stay with me, I offer a warm and safe environment where they can feel at home. I have a secure, pet-friendly space, with plenty of room for playing and relaxing. Just like with my own pets, I ensure that their food and water bowls are kept clean, they have cozy places to sleep, and their environment is kept hazard-free. Exercise is also a top priority, and I am fortunate to live near great walking paths and parks where we can enjoy fresh air and stimulation. During house sitting, I treat every home as if it were my own, with careful respect for your space and belongings. I adhere to a strict policy of cleanliness and will make sure to keep your pet's areas tidy. I am happy to follow any specific instructions about house care, from plant watering to mail collection, to ensure everything runs smoothly in your absence. No matter the environment, your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priority. I strive to provide a nurturing and consistent care routine, filled with lots of love and attention. In both environments, my goal is to maintain a sense of familiarity for your pet and peace of mind for you.

Information Mike C. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know what your dog will need from me to feel happy and cared for. Of course if they have any special needs or dietary restrictions that would be important to know as well.

A typical day

In my care, your dog will enjoy a day full of varied activities. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample space for walks and jogs caters to all energy levels. We have a local dog play area for safe, fun socializing. Indoors, we'll engage in games and relaxation. I also enjoy conducting reward-based training sessions. No matter your dog's personality or needs, they will have a fun, active, and content day with me.

I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets. This setup lets me be there for regular feedings, walks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy looking for fun or a senior who appreciates a slower pace, I've got the time and patience to cater to their needs. You can be sure that while you're away, your pets won't just be looked after – they'll have a companion to keep them company, ensuring they're both happy and cared for.
