Pet care experience

Your pet deserves experience

I have professional and personal experience with dogs, working in a professional setting with up to roughly 100 dogs daily (to many...please don't hire me to look after that many) as well as working with strays and rescues out of the country... Just lots of pet experience all around. I am professionally trained in dog and cat behavior, and studied wildlife biology. Not just a dog lover, I can handle all animals well, including exotics:).

Safety, trust & environment

I pay attention to the animal's behavior and needs rather than wants. Every dog is a new personality and they shouldn't all be handled the same way.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy exploring new places while on dog walks to keep Interest alive for me and the pets, and I have great endurance so playtime and excersize doesn't leave your dog wanting more.

Dogs over 1 year old

Mike can host up to 3 pets per night
I'm happy to work with all breeds, just give me an idea of their behaviour first and any needs, size, and personality... Really just anything you'd typically tell.
