Meet your dogs new best pal

Pet care experience

I'm Mike.... I am a dog owner of a very energetic little guy named Vinny. Vinny and I have been best pals for more than eight years now and he reminds me that all dogs need care and affection. Sometimes my life gets busy and I have to use Rover myself and I know the importance of finding the right sitter for my little pal. Whether its a drop in visit or a nice walk, I'll make sure that your pup has an awesome time and gets the love and affection they deserve. He or she will be happy that you chose me. If you have questions, please let me know and I will be happy to answer them. If I stay at your home, please be open to letting my little guy stay there too. He's super independent so if you are a few miles from my home he can crash at my place, at night but, he'd rather be with his dad and make a new friend along the way! If your pup stays at my place, please make sure he is socialized with other dogs. NO AGRESSIVE BREEDS, sorry I just want to make sure I protect my little guy too. He loves making friends but, he is not a big fan of being eaten : I’m primarily available for boarding at my place or house/dog sitting at your place. If you just need him/her to get out and stretch their legs, I’m available on weekends. I am open to longer stays / house sits but a week is about my max. If you need a little longer we can figure it out! I do verify Emergency contacts and vet information. I’d prefer to walk your pet on a leash or in your fenced yard but, I’m also open to public parks and street walks. I'm not able to take your dog on play dates or to the dog park even if you know the other pet(s).

Mike was excellent with my baby and made me comfortable with leaving him while I went on vacation! Will be using again.

Mike did a great job, gave us updates with pictures and commentary. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with him. Will absolutely go with Mike again if he’s available when we need him. :)

I like to get a full list or text of schedules, favorite things and do's/dont's. I am happy to ensure your pet has the same routine as at home. Because my condo is smaller, i prefer that your pet stay in their crate when I am away from home. If I am sitting at your home and the pet is accustomed to not being crated while you are away, that is cool with me.

Information Mike M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, is on medication or requires special care for wounds etc. I am open to all of those things but would want to know exactly what they need to have a good visit.

A typical day

I am an avid hiker so if the pup can handle it, we will go on a few hikes on the weekend. I also love to help them play catch, fetch and with their favorite toy.
