About Mike S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I firmly believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to animal care. This mindset allows me to stay attentive and in tune with each animal’s unique needs, so I can provide individualized care. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime with a favorite toy, roughhousing, training, or mental stimulation, I’m here to give them whatever they need.
Information Mike S. would like to know about your pet
I love to be prepared when it comes to taking care of your pets, so I do have a list of questions that I typically ask. For example, does your pet have special needs when it comes to food, training, medication, exercise, or anything like that. On a separate note, I do love working with animals that need extra attention. I think one of my main strengths is being able to have customized plans & being able to adapt to different animals.
A typical day
With individualized care there are a number of different “fun” activities I do with pets. There is of course play time like fetch, play wrestle, a fun walk in the park, and a good pet session, but I also believe an important part of a dog’s day is mental stimulation. This could look like a sniff walk, training, or mental stimulation toys.

Former Dog Trainer turned Sitter
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so my love for them started very young. My family has had 6 boxers, 2 Carolina dogs, and 1 Husky. I’ve been responsible for training, exercising, and overall care of all of our dogs. With that experience I realized early on that I had a natural talent with dogs & decided to be a dog trainer for 6 years! I DO offer dog training for those interested. I specialize in puppies, senior dogs, and addressing behavior issues. I have never met a dog that didn’t like me & I hope that trend continues!
Reviews
Mike was prompt, sincere, and confident. Played with our girl right from the start. He was conscious of the heat and made the most of the full hour. Would recommend!
Great with Koma and keeps up whatever training we are working on with her, especially exposure to other people and dogs so she can practice working through frustration.
Mike was excellent! Very communicative and knowledgeable about my dog’s needs. Highly recommend.
Definitely very experienced and knowledgeable. I appreciate the feedback back/assement on my 5 month old puppy to support us in her training going forward.
