Energetic Experienced Dog Walker

Pet care experience

I've taken care of my dogs and friends dogs for years. I was also a cat owner for 15 years. I now care for neighbor's dogs and cats when out of town.

Mike did a great job with our golden! Our golden is super stubborn and he actually got him to walk and go potty! His communication was awesome and he also provided some pics of our cat! Will use again for sure!

Safety, trust & environment

I never let dogs off the leash for everyone's saftey. I walk with two hands on the leash and I do not use my phone while walking. Why? Because I am not on social media and care for what I am doing at the time. I am a former marine and on occassion like to take photos of pets.

Information Mike S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what is their favorite activity. Lots of exercise or gentle strolling through the neighborhood. Treats? Toys? Chasing balls or sticks? I can do them all.

A typical day

Not only do I walk, but will do short jogs to get lots of activity in. All remain on leash for all our safety. We not when I’ve built a report with my dog friends do I let them off the lash to chase balls or frisbees.

I walk every morning and would love to do my walks with a dog! Visits during the work day are great because I work from home, and evening walks get me moving after sitting all day.
