Care for a dog as if it were my own

Pet care experience

My whole life I have been around dogs. From a labradoodle from when I was 4 to 19, to caring for the family labrador retriever and bichon poodle to this day. All summer I cared for a labradoodle for a family who was traveling abroad. It is awesome to have a dog companion in this town, and I would like to help out dog owners any way I can. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs I care for for runs. I am extremely responsible and err on the side of caution for pets. I run my own business so my hours in the morning and early afternoon are flexible. I am a very accessible person via text/phone for any questions you might have.

Mike was exceptional. We have three dogs and he handled them with ease. He is very trustworthy and excels with communication.

Mike watched our dogs and house while we were away for several days on vacation. He was extremely professional and attentitive to our dogs’ current routines to keep everything as similar as possible. He provided multiple daily updates which helped put us at ease. He was also very respectful of our house — I hardly could notice that he stayed over. We came home to the house the way we left it and two very happy pups! We will definitely use him again in the future!

Mike was gracious and willing to help us out in a pinch. And most importantly, he took GREAT care of our dog! He gave regular updates and some photos which was much appreciated. Mike was very flexible with our house sitting request and respectful of our home.
