Highlights

20 years of experience

Pet care experience

Will walk/sit dogs for treats!

I will walk to crap out of your dog. Take that figuratively or literally as you please. Regardless, after our walks they'll come home totally tuckered out. I love dogs and have years of experience caring for dogs and house sitting. I grew up with large Chesapeake bay retrievers and am comfortable walking large dogs. I have a 1.5 year old basset hound. Aesthetically speaking, I am a sucker for a long, low canine. But I love all breeds and can't wait to meet your dog for a walk or a run outside! Can provide references.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, I have a fenced yard with a 1.5 year old basset hound to keep your pups company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and much prefer to arrange a meet and greet before sitting whenever possible to make sure your pup feels safe and confident in my care.

Mike is our go-to for taking care of Red. Red loves taking Mike on walks and cuddling on the couch with him! I am always 100% worry-free when we have Mike taking care of Red!

Mike has been excellent!! We are new to doggie ownership and Rover. Mike took care of our pup (w some special needs) during our vacation. He kept us up to date e photos and notes throughout our trip! Will be requesting his professional and caring help again!!

Mike is our go-to sitter now for Red. They love each other and I have zero worries when I leave, even if i can’t overlap with Mike and don’t have much time to go over things. He figured it all out very quickly and makes it so easy for us.

Mike was perfect. I contacted him last-minute and we didn’t even get to do a meet and greet. He figured everything out with our house and our dog loved him right away. Mike communicated clearly and frequently and gave our dog the attention and activity he needed!

Schedule

I'm currently looking for work, so have wide availability to care for your dog/cat. I am used to walking my own dog 2-3 times per day, plus training sessions and K9 nose work practice. If you are working on obedience with your dog, I'm happy to continue to provide training sessions as well while sitting them.
