Your dog is about to meet a new BFF

Pet care experience

Hi I’m mike and I’m an avid animal lover. I’ve spent my whole life with animals ranging from cats and dogs to goldfish and hamsters. I currently have a yorkie who is the primary love of my life. She’s 8 and I’ve had her since she was a puppy, and trained her on my own. People often say I’m a dog whisperer as their dogs suddenly pay me attention and respect when I acknowledge them. I just think they can sense my love. I can do overnights at your home no problem. I give great belly rubs to all dogs at no extra charge, and treat your dog the same as I’d treat and care for my own. Send me a message and let’s see if we’re a fit.

This was our second time booking Mike for overnight sitting in our home. He is responsible, communicative and reliable. We love having him stay with our pooch when we’re out of town and will definitely continue to use him. Our dog has also become attached to him and we feel at ease leaving our dog behind in Mike’s great care!

Mike was a great dog and house sitter for us. It was our first time booking a new dog sitter since moving here from San Francisco and so we were nervous leaving our rescue dog (who has some attachment issues) behind. Mike put us at ease with frequent updates (photos included!). He took great care of our pup (and our home) and we will definitely book him again. He’s trustworthy, responsible and responsive!

Mike was awesome! I’m kind of a helicopter dog mama because my lab is accident prone and skittish. We also have somewhat complicated house and feeding procedures. Mike made me feel at ease and he took such great care of my Liney! He requires a ton of exercise and is extremely strong and Mike handled him beautifully. He was so good with him and my dog was very happy and tired when I got home. :) I highly recommend him.

Mike is the best! Amazing updates every time he came to take care of the dogs and super responsive. I was on the fence about these apps but Mike put my worries to rest. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for everything

Information Mike K. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if they have any triggers so that I can be aware and make sure they stay safe in my care. Fur babies are people’s families.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long, full walks around Town Lake, as I live quite close by. If I’m dropping into your home, or doing a walk in your area, we’ll go on the most exciting walk available in your neighborhood. I respond to requests very rapidly and am often available last minute/short notice assuming availability/bookings.
