A home away from home!

Pet care experience

My name is Mike and I am a certified dog groomer. I recently took some time off from pet sitting to take care of family. I am back now and looking forward to caring for your loved ones. I have a warm and comfortable home for your special friend, so they will feel like they never left their own. I have a medium black lab who is extremely well behaved and is extremely gentle. I also have a back yard and a private path to walk the dogs. I live in a very nice neighborhood and they also provide a walking path for all pets. I welcome your family member into my home with the promise that they will be treated as if they were part of my family. As I mentioned before I am a certified groomer, so if you want your dog bathed and/or nails trimmed there will be an additional $15.00 added (we can discuss actual grooming rates if you are interested). Please make certain your dog gets along with other animals and does not bite or chew furniture (no FLEAS please). Your pet will not be in a cage and looked in on every hour or so, they will be free to roam. I also have a very nice screened in porch where they can lie and look out the windows. If your pet needs special attention like medications I will be happy to give them. I will give your pet all the attention a pet deserves. I have an empty room in my home that I use as a play room, so we will never be bored. I hope to see you and your pet very soon. I do have large crates if you crate your dog at night. See you soon. Mike About this sitter: I'm athletic type like to exercise. Grew up with dogs and love their company. Enjoy playing and running around with my dog. Why I love dog sitting My entire life. I grew up on a dead end street in a small neighborhood and everyone had a dog. They all ran free and played together. They are just such good companions and can make you smile by doing the simplest things. Growing up with dogs just made me realize I would never go without having one in my life. About my yard I have a small backyard and a screened in porch. I have a runner attached to my house but it is not fenced in. I have a walking path attached to the back of my yard that leads to an open area where I take my dog daily. My experience administering medication yes I am comfortable. I worked for a vet for a time and am a certified groomer, so I have dealt with medications.

Mike and his father were very loving and attentive hosts for our June. She was a little skittish, and they worked hard to make her feel comfortable, safe and loved.

Mike was very welcoming and easy going. He took great care of Olly, kept me updated, and they played a ton of fetch and tug together. Can't wait to use Mike again!

Information Mike R. would like to know about your pet

That they do not chew on furniture or shoes. Make sure they get along with other dogs and they have no fleas. I will say my favorite breeds are Labradors, German Shepard's and Collie's. probably because I grew up with those breeds in my neighborhood, so I have had a lot of interaction with them. But I like them all.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My neighborhood has a complete trail that is over a mile long and I have a walking path in my back yard too. So there is plenty of place where we can exercise. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have many dog beds and will sleep in my bedroom with me. If you crate your companion at night I also Have 3 large size crates with bedding. Time I'll spend with your dog They will be with me and my dog the entire time they stay with me. I have walking trails in my neighborhood as well as a play room in my home. I do not believe in leaving them alone for any extended period of time. They will get my full attention.
