Working Dog Handler Experience!

Pet care experience

Have been a working dog handler in the Marine Corps for 4 years. My full time job is literally training, caring for, playing with, all things dogs related. I’m transitioning out of the Marines and have some extra time on my hands. I’m trained in dog first aid and cpr. I’ve taken dogs all over the world and have cared for them in almost every situation possible (I had a dog live on ship with me for three months). Your dog will not be considered a “job” or “work” for me. Dogs have been a pivotal part of my life in the Marines and I will consider your dog as both a friend and a partner. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be loved and cared for while you’re away.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mike! Mike responds to all my messages in a very timely manner and sends pictures of his walks with Tucker. I am confident that Tucker is safe and getting in some good exercise when he is with Mike.

Mike was great with Kona, she's still a puppy and can be a challenge, but as a dog handler he got it! I will definately use his services again!
