Taken care of dogs my whole life
Pet care experience
From the time I came into this world I have always had a dog living in my home. I have owned small dogs, big dogs, Yorkies, collies, and shepherds. I have sat for friends and friend of friend's dogs and make sure they are taken care of by listening, understanding, and spending time with them. Getting to know a pup is half the battle, the rest is all downhill. I currently have two puppies of my own. A border collie named Hawkeye that is the most loving puppy I've ever met with the brains to boot, and a mischievous sweet little beagle/dachshund mix named Cecelia that loves to drive me crazy. Dogs are family and friends just as much as any human and I above all understand that first and foremost. Knowing how I would feel if my dogs somehow disappeared make me sure to do my best in taking care of your pet.
Reviews
Mike is an avid dog lover with a passion for taking care of pets. He has been our go to sitter for the last 4 years, watching over our morkie, Snickers, and our two cockatiels whenever we're out of town or just can't make it home from work in time to walk the pup. His Border Collie, Hawkeye, is the kindest, smartest, and most obedient dog I've ever met (don't tell Snickers). If you want a dog loving caregiver Mike is as good as it gets! Top notch!

Just if they have a favorite toy or activity. How the pup is used to being rewarded, either attention or treats. Allows me to know their motivation and what they love.
A typical day
I try to take walks around the neighborhood and dog parks that are nearby. I love tossing a Frisbee to pups and letting them explore their environment.
