Fit retiree loves walking dogs!

Pet care experience

I'm a fit, active retiree who loves all dogs and staying on the move! I'm looking to build a regular base of pups to walk and care for, helping me stay in great shape while doing what I love—spending time with amazing pets. I have lots of free time, a super flexible schedule, and pride myself on being reliable, consistent, and attentive. I’m also experienced and gentle with senior dogs and happy to accommodate their special needs. Let’s get your pup the exercise and care they deserve! Please note I am available in multiple zip codes and areas including 90045 and 90291 (Westchester and Venice Beach).

Mike did a great job taking care of my gals for a long day when I was out of town He came twice in one day to walk my dogs and feed my dogs. He was on time, kindly followed my instructions and followed up with photos to keep me connected with my best friends. Much appreciated.
