✓ PAWsome Dog Sitter for hire 😬

The most important thing is your pet’s safety & happiness. My 1 year old chocolate lab named Mala and I love meeting new doggy friends. Prior to Mala I was blessed with a beautiful black lab named Diego. He was my partner in crime and we traveled to 4 different countries together. He was a great dog and very well behaved. Before 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!!! We had to say goodbye to Diego in 2024 & have welcomed Mala to the family. She’s a sweet English labrador who loves other dogs and is very playful. She’s got some big paws to fill but this 1 year old is on the right path. 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*

Mike did such an incredible job with our girl. We came home and she was clearly very well taken care of. We loved receiving the videos and he gave her extra love than we had even expected. 10/10 recommend for a trustworthy, kind, loving sitter. Also, is great overall with dogs since she is reactive to other pups.

Mike has not only cared for our four precious boys, but our home. He takes great care to assure they are well fed, walked, and loved. He is wonderful at understanding each pets individual needs and makes sure to be thorough. He can be trusted with the ones you love.

Mike is awesome! He takes such loving care of my little girl. He always sends me photos and updates of their time together. I can relax when Mike is there because I know Chloe is safe and happy with him.

House Sitting • Sep 15, 2024

Mike quickly responded to our inquiry and request for house sitting services. Mike was flexible to help address our specific needs as well as an excellent communicator in planning, scheduling and during the service request. Mike is kind, gentle spirited and trustworthy which quickly put us at ease and gave us the confidence and security he was an ideal fit not only for our dog but also for our family. We will leverage Mike should we have pet sitting services in the future and highly recommend Mike to anyone who may have a need for pet services.

Mike is the only dog care person you would ever need. He goes the extra mile to be certain our Frenchie is not only walked but given love and attention. He also helped us with training our puppy. He is simply the best person you can ever find to take care of your family member.
