The world is better with dogs in it

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was in high school. They have ranged in size from five pound poodle mixes to 55+ lb greyhounds. I have trained at least ten dogs for training to be inside. I have also worked with four dogs of my own as they aged and passed on.

Mike is conscientious, loves dogs and dogs love Mike! I truly appreciate his attention to detail, especially with my rescue who has a bit of trouble adapting. Thank you, Mike!

Mike is awesome! Felt 100% comfortable heading out of town for the weekend with Mike taking care of our fur babies. Would recommend to anyone in the area and will book again!

Mike did a great job caring for our pet in our home. He was very responsive and my house was in order which made it easy to come home. Highly recommend!

I have a small fenced in backyard with two dog friendly cats in the house. I walk dogs regularly for exercise and enjoy them in the house.

Information Mike V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog has any specific needs I need to be aware of if special attention is needed. Knowledge of the dog's regular eating and activity schedule is greatly appreciated.

A typical day

We will get regular walks each day (2-3) to let your pet enjoy the neighborhood. I have a lengthy stretch of quiet road and grass along a golf course for the dog to walk and explore. We will also get to run and chase in a fenced in backyard.

I am a teacher and I am open for two months in the summer. During the school year I am gone from 6:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. I walk dogs before I leave in the morning and upon my return in the afternoon.
