Reviews
Our dogs, Joel and Stevie, are both LOVE Mike. He really took the time to make them feel comfortable when he met them- gave them space, got on the floor, brought treats for extra bribes. It didn’t take them long at all to realize how much love and attention they get from him. He treats the dogs with love and respect like they were his own. I would trust him with them any day and they would be happy to see him anytime.
Mike is the biggest dog lover on the planet. I have trusted him to watch my dog more times than I can count. I always knew that I was leaving her in good hands because she was always so excited to see him. Mike is super responsible and has experience with abused rescues as well as pampered pooches. Invite him to meet your four-legged friend and you will witness firsthand his kindness, patience, and love for dogs. Highly recommend!
About Mike R.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, procedures, and love are the foundation of my dogs existence in my home. When working with a clients dog is clear communication. The clients directions are priority, provided they allow for the safety of their animals.
Information Mike R. would like to know about your pet
Many of my fosters are PSTS. Several of my dogs have had major surgeries which required extensive care & PT, in which I was involved. My current female pit mix has Addison’s which requires daily Meds:
A typical day
I start every day @ 5 am with feeding my 2 dogs & 2 foster dogs. After yard time they each get a walk including heel & break commands and recall line work. This routine is repeated after their dinners. In between (besides my personal chores) is years time. Everyday I ensure each dog sits before thresholds & meals, heels & breaks, recalls, and gets 1 on 1 time on the floor eye to eye.
