Experienced dog trainer and pal!
Pet care experience
I grew up on a farm and have personally raised 7 well behaved dogs (and one part timber wolf). Dogs and I have a great understanding of each other – I speak their language. My goal is not to provide the bare minimum, but rather truly play and stimulate your furry friend, and ultimately help them grow and become even better companions to you and your family. We will both enjoy each others company immensely!

Mike (and his gf Alyssa) took wonderful care of our 'special needs' pup! They communicated really well and handled Milo with patience and care. Milo clearly was in great hands! We will definitely use Mike and his girlfriend again.
Mike was an awesome sitter! Our pup Milo is sometimes moody and Mike handled him great...very calm and relaxed- just what our boy needs. He was easy and very quick to communicate and sent us plenty of updates and photos. He even came over for a meet and greet a couple times to get to know Milo a little ahead of time. We will definitely use Mike again- so easy to talk to and made us all feel at ease. Thanks again Mike!!
Mike was great. He stayed over at our house a couple of times when we were gone and our dog really enjoyed it.
Mike came over to the house and spent the day and evening with our pup and he was great. He was very straightforward and communicative and our pup seemed very happy when we got back home the following day. We would certainly recommend Mike and we are planning to hire him again in the future!

Skills
Information Mike R. would like to know about your pet
There are some key things to know to ensure a fun and healthy visit! What is their diet and what kind of treats do they like? Do they like playing with other dogs or do they prefer to keep to themselves? Were they a rescue, or did they have any traumatic experiences that I should know about? And any key health information is helpful to ensure we are doing the right kind of activity. I love all dogs– big and small, young and old!
A typical day
I live in the Mission and love to walk around. If your pal likes to socialize with other dogs, we might walk through Dolores Park or Duboce Park. If they like to play fetch, great! I love to play fetch as well. If your dog is older, or less active, thats cool as well, we can find some nice nooks to play where they won't be bothered by the young'ins. If your dog knows any tricks, we will practice them and really stimulate their brain. With your permission, we can also try to learn new tricks. I am both active and enjoy to relax– so I am comfortable going on a quick jog with your Rhodesian, or lounging on the grass and soaking up some rays with your Lab. One thing is for certain– we will have fun!
