Simple guy who loves dogs!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs since I was about 6-7. I’ve had mostly bigger dogs, Sheppards, boxers etc. I have had some experience sitting in other people’s homes like family and friends and have taken care of not only dogs but other animals as well. And I just love dogs!

Mike loves animals! He enjoys walking anyway so putting a dog by his side is just an added bonus for him! And he doesn’t even mind all the hair! He would often take our Shepherd in his car to the Hiker Biker Trail even though our neighborhood is nice for walking. He is trustworthy and very responsible. We highly recommend!

Mike is one of the few people I would trust to take care of my two dogs, one of which has a few behavioral issues. When I went on vacation, not only did he watch the dogs, but he put in so much time and energy to make them comfortable and happy. Even our difficult dog, who really does not like anyone, loved Mike by the end of the visit. You can tell he truly cares dogs and takes the responsibility of dog sitting seriously. Your pup is in great hands with Mike!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very careful with other peoples dogs. I take caee of them with the same commitment that I do my own. I give the care needed that I would expect someone I was paying to do. I have always considered dogs family and I understand the love people have for their pets.

Information Mike D. would like to know about your pet

How good are they on a lease? What is their behavior typically on a lease? Has the dog been walked for longer distances before? How does the dog act when other dogs/people are around while on a lease?

A typical day

Personally, there is a trail nearby for bikers that I have taken my dog several times and she loves to go! I would typically walk her around a mile or more depending on how she was acting. Water was also brought in case she ever got thirsty!

So I work a full 9-5 that includes some traveling. With covid going on I do telework a few days a week but I’d like to experiment with weekends before I go filling my weeks up. But I am looking for part time extra cash and I truely love dogs. What better way right?
