Safety, trust & environment

I have been the primary owner of my 3 year old pug named Captain up until a year ago when I started to live with my grandfather to take care of him. Due to various factors, Captain now primarily stays at my parents' house (15 min away) which works out very well for everybody. I often have him over and also watch him at my parents' house when nobody is around. I take him out whenever he scratches at the door and take him on at least one walk a day. In between his meals I will give him snacks in exchange for tricks! That being said, if you are teaching your dog certain things, I would be glad to do my part in teaching as well! Last thing that I believe is very important would be cleaning off the paws with a towel after letting my dog outside when it’s muddy and wet outside.

Information Mitchell L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me now if there is anything in particular that I need to know in order to optimally take care of your dog. As for my dog, we have him on a special diet which ensures that he stays healthy and happy. Most importantly, I am attentive to whatever specific instructions need to be done.

A typical day

I really enjoy going outside and playing with my dog! That being said, I wouldn’t mind taking your dog on a walk or playing fetch!

Proud pug owner looking to pet sit!

Pet care experience

The biggest thing that I believe sets me apart from other pet sitters is my knowledge of psychology and behavior which in turn allows me to connect and tend to the needs of animals. I have been told many times that I am the only stranger that their pet gets along with! I also am a part time caretaker for my grandfather. My responsibilities often include cleaning, shopping, and cooking. I really enjoy it. Lastly, I volunteered at a farm in Oregon for about 3 months back around early 2022. I was routinely in charge of many tasks relating to the care of animals including feeding chickens, cleaning the chicken coop, periodically moving cows to fresh pasture...etc.

Mitch is the best! We booked him again for Simba, he is very kind and caring person. He makes Simba feel very comfortable and takes care of his all needs. Simba is an 11 year old pug and he has difficulty walking and Mitch carries him up and down the stairs very carefully and takes care of him very nicely. We are very thankful to have Mitch.

Best dog sitter in the whole world. We have 11 year old pug with separation anxiety and Mitch took care of him while we were on vacation. Simba never felt this calm and great with any other sitter. I can’t thank him enough.
