A pawsitive experience

Pet care experience

I’ve been an owner of two dogs & a cat in my lifetime as well as taking care of many of my family and friends animals. I prefer an active lifestyle and would love to take your dog on a local walk, hike or to the park. I understand every pet has their own individual needs & I am more than happy to cater to them. I have a passion for animal care & continuously look to meet new animals throughout my 20 years of pet care.

Mike was fabulous. I would give him my absolute highest recommendation. We were in a serious pinch in getting someone to take care of our German shorthaired pointer at the last minute. He went completely out of his way to take care of our high energy pup. He communicated extremely well , sent many pictures, and kept us updated. We had complete peace of mind when we were away. We will absolutely rebook with Mike again!

Mike was wonderful with our two cats. He kept us up to date with photos and videos each day, which made it easier to enjoy our vacation. We look forward to booking him again in the future. 😻

I recently used Mike’s dog walking service and was thoroughly impressed. His professionalism and genuine love for animals shone through, making my dog’s experience enjoyable and full of joy, evident from the happy updates and photos I received. What makes Mike stand out is his focus on safety, punctuality, reliability, and the extra care he provide, ensuring each walk is tailored to my dog’s needs, from leisurely strolls around the block to longer walks around the neighborhood, and monitoring hydration, safety/leash, and food (if needed). The peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands is invaluable given that I had an unpleasant and frightening experience with another dog walker who was negligent to safety. For Mike, safety is paramount. Additionally, the flexibility in scheduling and easy communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Mike was always accommodating and responsive, which I greatly appreciated. In summary, Mike’s service is top-notch, and I highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for someone to treat their pet with love and care. I’m definitely a returning customer and look forward to our next booking. Thank you, Mike for your exceptional service!
