Information Mikel F. would like to know about your pet

I do like to encourage dogs to learn useful tricks. So I probably should know any dietary restrictions your pup may have. You know, for training treats. Any triggers or quirks they may have would be good for me to know ahead of time.

A typical day

Some dogs like to fetch, some tug-a-war. My Lab Sunny was all about keep way, and the chase. Some like to cuddle, others prefer to be left to their own. I'll do whatever it is your pup needs. Let me know what they love...

He was awesome!! His wife and him treated my fur baby like one of their own and sent pictures and super cute videos. I’ll definitely be rebooking for future trips:)

Mikel was amazing, probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! My dog Luca is very complex, he has both physical disabilities and some emotional/behavioral struggles due to a car accident. I went on vacation for the first time since the accident, leaving him with Mikel, and was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but Mikel made the whole process so much easier. He kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos and took the time to understand why my dog had certain behaviors and how to try to fix and adapt to them. He would let me know of his concerns, but constantly reassured me that he could handle it, and he did. I am so grateful for his patience and understanding and would recommend him to any and everyone!

I can’t thank Mikel enough for watching Ripley. He’s really good with her and she’s always happy to see him!

Mikel took great care of my dog for a nine-night stay. He sent videos and photos daily and made me feel very secure that my pup was well cared for. I definitely recommend Mikel for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive dog sitter.
