About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I trained my dog as a puppy & have been a reliable dog sitter for friends & family. I work early in the morning hours & have time in the afternoon/early evenings to take care of your pet! I love to get outside and exercise & would love to walk your dog! I have a small apartment, so not much space for a pet to wonder. I am always cautious when watching someone’s family pet & utilize the tools you may have in your home (leash,crate, etc) to keep your pet safe!

20. Mike B.
About: Dog owners and their dogs will love many things about the care that I provide. First, I have always shown love and care to every dog that I have met and all these dogs have responded in a positive manner. Second, I believe in a healthy lifestyle for my dogs (as well as myself, haha) and take my dogs for walks everyday, and feeding them their recommended portion of dog food with minimal people food. Third, keeping my dogs on a daily routine helps tremendously as well as their owners. Growing up I have had a Schnauzer (Mickey), Springer Spaniel (Snickers), Springer Spaniel (Princess), two box turtles (Fred and Wilma), and currently own two Puggles (Liberty & Bell). All the dogs I have trained to not go to the bathroom in the house, and many tricks. I work full-time (7am-330pm) and I am available Monday-Friday before 7am and after 330pm. Saturday and Sunday I will be available all day. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me, Thank you.
