Going away? Hire me to stay! 😊

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my whole life, but for the last few years I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of my neighbors Dog. This made me want to start doing it for others & ever since, that’s exactly what I’ve done!

We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in Mike's care after we met him and saw how he interacted with them. He was very accommodating when we had a change in our plans. We appreciated his responsiveness and regular communications, and our dogs were obviously well cared-for. We will definitely look forward to hiring Mike again to take good care of our dogs next time we're away!

Mike was more than we could have even expected. I was VERY nervous to leave my babies as one of them has just been recently diagnosed with epilepsy and requires medication twice a day to manage it. Not to mention they are very spoiled and love human contact constantly. We have never had a “in home pet sitter” and didn’t know what to expect. The pictures and updates and very quick responses exceeded my expectations. Not to mention he watered our garden, checked in on our “self sufficient” pets, and dealt with our day to day household needs. I felt very comfortable from the first update when the dogs (who are not small) were cuddled up on his lap that we made the right choice. Mike was wonderful and we will absolutely use him again.

Mike was great! Our dogs were happy and calm when we got home from our trip and he was engaged with us as well, sending us pictures. Will definitely be using him again!

I have two cats of my own & am currently looking for a dog. My kitten just wants to play & is like my shadow! lol As far as my clients, it’s situational. Some pets require medication, some can’t be left alone for more than 2hours, while others can be left alone for up to 8hours. I give each pet equal attention/care!

Information Mike R. would like to know about your pet

If any of your Pets need medication or special attention ahead of time, feel free to let me know! Care instructions before the stay ( depending on length of stay & what’s needed ) would be appreciated!

A typical day

I make sure the Dogs are fed & let out in the morning. I go home for a few hours & come back roughy 4-8hrs later to let them back out. I come back around Dinner time, feed them/let them out & then I stay over for the night. **This is an example of what I’ve done so far. This schedule is ideal, but I’m flexible to whatever’s needed** If your Dog(s) like to cuddle up on the couch, play fetch, or just like to spend time in the backyard, I’m ok with whatever’s needed!
