I love dogs and dogs love me

Pet care experience

I've been fostering dogs for 5 years and had two dogs growing up! I'm very active so I enjoy taking dogs with me on my walks or hikes.

I have been using Mike for months and has been an invaluable resource for the care of my doggie. Often I have short notice of when I need a walker, and he has always been responsive and dependable. He gives wonderful care to my doggie. I can’t recommend more highly!

Mike was wonderful to work with and took such good care of my doggie while I was away. Thank you for making my time away worry-free.

Your pet will LOVE Michael!!! He has always been super compassionate, loving and responsible with dogs, cats and other pets over the years. He’s a wonderful care taker and very trustworthy. I highly recommend Michael to anyone.

Mike is one of maybe 3 people I trust with my dog, Toby. He’s watched him countless times over the years and I can always trust that he’ll take care of my pup. Toby is definitely a rambunctious critter and any time I need to go away or visit family abroad he is who I trust and ask to watch him. Mike understands a dog’s needs. He knows to let the dogs get all the smells and read all the newspapers. He knows when a dog is on to a smell that maybe he shouldn’t follow like dead animals, leftover chicken bones that people throw out on the street, or feces. He also never “feels bad” for an animal and succumbs to giving them scraps or leftovers—he understands a dog’s diet should be what they are supposed to eat, not human food! I would highly recommend him as a dog walker/sitter to any one who wants the right care for their fido.

Information Mike C. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if the dog is well socialized and any special needs they may require. Every dog is different and I try to cater my activities according to that!

A typical day

I love to go to the wheeler dog park or the trails there in South Burlington! I also am big into jogging with dogs if that is okay with the owner! Anything to do with getting outside I'm down for.
