Pet care experience
I am available for drop-ins on week nights but work full time so am unable to do midday drop ins. I have spent time volunteering at an animal shelter before moving to the DC area. It was great to be able to see the change in many of these animals as soon as they saw some love. Often walked and played with many different breeds. I also was part of raising and training a puppy for approximately 2 years. Absolutely loved teaching him how to roll over and play dead with the "bang" command! Although I do not have a pup of my own currently, I frequently dream of having a house in the country with room for several dogs to run. I'm eager to translate my love and attentiveness to animals to help local pet owners provide the best care for their pets while they are unable to be home.
Reviews
Mike was amazing. He took pics of the dogs and provided us up to date information. Definitely recommend Mike to everyone!
Mike was great with our dog and cats. Very communicative and answered all questions quickly. Would definitely use again!
Mike is a great caring guy. He has dog sat for my 2 year old puppy multiple times. I've never had any problems, my dog is always excited to see him. Mike plays with him and always takes good care of my dog. Mike follows all of our directions and we have never had a problem. Highly recommend Mike!!

Information Mike K. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. Important to know: temperament with people and other dogs, special needs (medical, arthritis, dysplasia, etc), commands they understand, what positive reinforcement they respond to (and acceptable treats!)
A typical day
Depending on what is local to your residence, I will gladly take your dog to any of his/her favorite local spots. If there are parks or paths around, we will certainly go exploring. I'll also keep in mind the personality of each dog since not every dog enjoys high interaction with other dogs.
