Pet care experience
The most important thing is your dog’s safety & happiness. My 9 year old black lab named Diego and I love meeting new doggy friends! Prior to Diego, I had an 11 year old wonderful boxer named Roxy. If you know anything about dogs, you know these breeds are HIGH energy, HIGH interaction, and very LOVING. Over the last 20 years, I have worked with my own dogs in managing their energy, reducing destructive behaviors, providing basic obedience, and most importantly - showing them lots of love and having a ton of fun!!! I will take the dogs on a variety of activities from walks, to parks, to hikes (or simply walks if you prefer). Have an existing training routine?? No problem! I'm happy to reinforce training techniques on walks. Not to mention, they will get plenty of kisses and belly rubs along the way! With me, your dogs will be safe, exercised properly, stimulated mentally, and good behaviors will always be reinforced positively :) *a note about Services. The House Sitting rate of $150 includes 3 walks, any feedings, and whatever is necessary to care for your dog for 24 hours including spending the night. Please contact me with any questions regarding this or if the total cost comes out higher*

I recently booked Mike to sit my 8 y/o Staffordshire Terrier. I had an unexpected need to reschedule the dates and Mike could not have been more accommodating. In addition, he came to meet Chloe twice and made me feel totally comfortable with his ability and even gave me some tips on how to handle some of Chloe’s fears. During his stay Mike regularly communicated with me both by text and also with videos and photos. Chloe felt safe, comfortable, and happy with Mike. And so did I. Thank you Mike!
Mike is excellent. I feel very comfortable with him taking care of my senior Dobie. She warmed right up to him. He was very communicative before the visit, during, and even after to discuss how things went. I highly recommend him.
My husband and I needed someone for dog sitting for our 3 year old Frenchie and house sitting while we went out of town on vacation for a few days. We liked Mike's profile and reviews and after meeting him could see why. I was completely relieved meeting Mike and I immediately loved his calm demeanor and could already see right off the bat that he was great with dogs and has knowledge of different breeds. Oscar really took to Mike right away. I went over some things with him about Oscar's personality and staying in our home for the few days and he had really great feedback and reassured me that he would be in good hands. I tend to worry about leaving Oscar since he is such a routine dog and loves attention. Mike kept us updated with both pictures and video texts which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. We were totally able to relax on our vacation knowing our home and Oscar were being taken care of with someone responsible and trustworthy. I was able to have fun knowing everything was going smooth and Oscar was having a great time. Mike had offered to bring his black lab Diego over if it was okay with us and introduced them before we left to see how they got along. Diego was such a sweetheart and also had a very calm demeanor. It was so nice for Oscar to have a friend to hang with. Mike took such great care of Oscar with lots of snuggles and just the right amount of playtime as well as our home and I would not hesitate to have Mike back next time we plan a trip!
Mike is a saint for taking care of my herd of special needs animals! His compassion is obvious and he is very intentional with his care. He seemed very dedicated in trying to understand each of my animals needs and their individual quirks. He gave great and consistent, honest updates. With some negative experiences with previous sitters, it was nice to finally be able to relax on my trip. I will 1000% request him in the future to watch my babies
