Pet care experience
As a professional musician and social worker with over 10 years of experience, I have had my fair share of rewarding experiences by giving to others whether it be the gift of music or a higher quality of life. My passion lies in providing the service of others in need and animals are not at all excluded from that list. As a certified habilitation technician (care taker for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities; i.e autism, down syndrome etc.) I have witnessed the most meaningful interactions with all of my clients when there has been a pet involved. As a student at the UNCG School of Music I'm often surrounded by colleagues that utilize service animals to help them cope with the stress often involved in the field. It goes without saying that even though I love what I do primarily for a living, the workload can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. The detrimental effects of this lifestyle peaked when I was diagnosed with clinical depression (Major Depressive Disorder or MDD). Faced with several mental and psychological obstacles, I was in dire need of an outlet to restore my emotional health and freedom. God helped me to find this freedom in taking care of pets; especially dogs. What I realized about domesticated animals during this time is that they are often in need of the same emotional care that I and many others like myself who struggle with a mental illness need. They require patience, diligence, unwavering friendship, active lifestyles, and unconditional love just like all people (or at least every person I've ever met). Humans and animals have a lot more in common than most realize and I seek to express my gratitude for these similarities by serving and taking care of pets. It goes without saying that I am an advocate for puppy therapy of sorts. A wise person once said "It is more blessed to give than it is to receive". I have owned and taken care of pets for over 10 years and I strongly believe that by providing these types of services the client, pet, and I will all benefit harmoniously: I make a new friend, your pet receives the simple gift of unconditional emotional support, and you can take care of what matters most so you can get back to playing with who matters most!

Myles was so awesome without three boys . He made sure to follow our instructions and also made time to focus on their individual needs . For instance Chico is hyper active so he found ways to redirect his energy. He is very quick and observant and of their moods and creating a plan of action based on them individually and as a whole unit . He showed them the same love they receive on a daily basis with us . He is very professional and courteous . Punctual and neat . Overall a very knowledgeable well rounded young man ! We will definitely be using his services again !
Myles is responsible, great at communicating, and following instructions. He absolutely loves dogs and if you decide to use him, your pet will be in great hands!
Myles did a wonderful job watching our animals while out of town. Our two cats and dog absolutely love him around. He is very dependable and made sure our furry friends were well taken care of until we had gotten back home. Id highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a pet sitter whether it is for a few hours or for a few days. We will continue to use him in the future for all of our pet sitting needs!
Myles is fantastic with dogs and I've seen it first hand. The way I saw him care for his dog Ava, a beagle, was with much love and responsibility. He did whatever it took to ensure she was well groomed, fed, and active, and you could tell by the way she would respond and get attached to him. Aside from just his own dog, Myles' love for all other dogs is blatantly obvious. As soon as he sees one he's ready to go love it, and it usually loves him back. He even sends me pictures and videos of dogs he saw that day. All in all, Myles is great with dogs and has a clear passion for them. I have no doubt his drive to pet sit is intense and stems from pure, wholehearted motives.

Information Myles V. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any special care that may be required specifically for your dog. This may include dietary needs, psychological care (is your dog anxious or depressed or the like), what makes your dog the happiest. The type of care your dog receives will depend greatly on this information. I do not have any breed preferences.
A typical day
Running/walking, playing fetch, going to dog parks, and exploring different natural scenery such as trails, lakes, etc.
