Active, compassionate dog lover!

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs my entire life! My family has taken in many different animals of all shapes in sizes back home in the rural farm town I used to live in. Now that I'm in the city, I love meeting and taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes! Coming from such a rural part of this state, it gives me great joy to be outside of the concrete jungle as much as possible and to share that experience with a dog. Whenever possible, I will be providing your animal with an active and fun walkig experience. I have a very flexible availability throughout the week. Like most of us in New York City, I'm always running around and can be available at a moment's notice!

I have known Mike for over 7 years. He is a kind, thoughtful and responsible person. Mike has sat for our terrier, Pinter, many times. Pinter dotes on him. Mike is gentle, patient and playful with our goofy pup. My partner and I feel totally secure leaving Pin in Mike’s care. Fun Pertinent Fact: While we were roommates in grad school, Mike and I rescued a green cheek conure who we found abandoned on our street. We cared for him and found him a great home. Long story short: Mike is an animal-loving superhero.

As Mike's sister, I can personally say that growing up he loved and cared for every dog we owned (and cat)! I know he will treat any other dog with the same amount of affection, mindfulness and patience. Mike is a good person inside and out, with a strong work ethic and a loving nature, so you should never worry about leaving your best friend with him!

As a seasoned walker/sitter here on Rover for the past few years, I have always recommended Mike to my returning clients as I’ve witnessed first hand how responsible, loving and committed he is to animals. Not only is Mike a huge dog lover with great emotional intelligence, he’s athletic and physically capable of of handling any breed big or small. A trustworthy walker, indeed!
