Pet care experience
I’ve always had dogs growing up and into adulthood. Purebreds and rescues, big and small. I spent months traveling to South America and volunteering at dog shelters in Peru where I oversaw 40+ rescued street dogs. I’m a large person and tend to handle energetic animals with no problem, but I’m also a big softy and do great with little low key lap dogs as well. I just got back from a long distance hike across the country for which I quit my job. I am not working anywhere other than a few shifts here and there that don’t force me out of the house for more than 6 or 7 hours at most. I’m currently really flexible. In my home we are on a third story walk-up and I bring our dogs out on leash. We always do at least one nice long walk a day too. In a client’s home I would just follow any protocol requested by the client. Stairs are fine, everything’s fine. I can’t think of any real restrictions I’d be adverse to.
Reviews
Mike was awesome! He made the whole process incredibly easy and flexible. I boarded my pup with him and his doggos and they got along great! Mike sent me pics and updates while I was away. Highly, highly recommend!
Super grateful that my dogs were in Mike’s care last week while I was on vacation with my family. Mike is professional, a great communicator and took excellent care of our furry family members!
Mike has watched my 2 mini dachshunds a number of times. He has been willing to watch them at my house and his own. His dogs and mine are now good buddies! One of my boys is a rescue and very shy, and usually a little frightened of men, but somehow he comes out of his shell for Mike’s top-quality tummy rubs! Mike knows my boys need a little extra attention to make sure they don’t hurt their backs and knows to carry them up and down stairs and pick them up to get on and off furniture. He always updates with pictures of all four of our pups snoozing away and I can tell they’re relaxed and feeling at home even when they aren’t. Mike is one of the biggest dog lovers I know and he would absolutely take care of anyone’s dog like it was his own.
Mike and I met where he used to bartend and bonded over the fact that we both had vizslas. He excitedly offered to watch our Tyson whenever we needed. It soon became an incredible arrangement where I watched his dog Link and he watched Tyson whenever any of us needed it. He has an awesome touch with dogs and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. This Rover thing is perfect for him
