I love getting my steps in so taking walks is great! Like I said, I am mostly working on music or doing small projects around my house so I am home to give a lot of attention and care to a dog!

Information Mike L. would like to know about your pet

If the dog will need medication, details on special care, how he or she is on a leash regarding other dogs nearby/strangers and whether or not they pull hard while on the leash.

A typical day

I live right across the street from a park in Salinas. Also, being in the Monterey Bay, there are so many great places to walk!

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life and absolutely love them. My wife was once an animal technician at the SPCA so our house has been full of pets all our married life! As of now we do not have pets since we travel a bit. I am retired so I am usually home for most of the day. I still have a lot of energy! I love taking dogs out for walks so that isn’t a problem! I prefer dogs that are great on leashes and don’t pull too hard.

Mike & Lynne were so kind and helpful when my dogs stayed with them the past few days while I was out of town. They have a lovely home and took amazing care of my dogs. Would recommend!

Very accommodating to my last minute request. They were very sweet to my dog and I and she had fun! She got a good amount of walks and was content when she got home.

Felt so safe leaving my baby in Mike 's hands! He's so friendly and has a loving presence about him! He sent updates and pictures of their day which we really enjoyed! We'll definitely book again if we are in the area!!

Mike and his wife were so friendly and good at communicating. Luna had a fun time with them and we would definitely use them again to watch Luna if we are passing through the area in the future!
