Empathic dog lover

Pet care experience

I've taken care of a few different dogs as a child, and have raised my own dog for 11 years now. I'm good with giving pills, walks, behavioural cures, as well as bark and whine interpretations 😉

Mike was fantastic with our 3 yr old nervous puppy. Our dog hasn't been around many people since COVID started, so a new face was hard for him, but Mike put him at ease & took such good care of him. Daily walks & dog park outings were very appreciated. He asked lots of questions to make sure he had everything set for our dog's routine to continue normally.

Mike is someone you seek out to take care of your dog. I have watched him with his own dog and seen him take care of others and he is beyond caring and professional. He takes his dog for walks multiple times a day, to the dog park during the week and is constantly showering him with love. He is attune to his dog's needs as he is gets older and has no hesitation to do what it takes to take care of him. I would highly recommend Mike to watch your with full confidence your dog will be happy and cared for!

Information Mike S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know your dog's vet information and confirm that you've called them to tell them that I'm watching him or her. Any potential behavioral cues or issues that I may need to pay attention to.

A typical day

Usually wake up for work around 7:00. Phineas gets morning pills with a treat and then I gave him food. After the coffee is on we go for a 15 minute walk and then I get into my work day. I usually try and fit in a walk at lunch and then one after dinner after Phineas gets his evening pills and a treat before bed. You want to have the time One of those three daily walks will be to the dog park. This is usually at least every Sunday.
