Pet care experience
I am a twenty nine year old musician who loves dogs! I have worked with dogs all of my life and have worked at a dog daycare from the bottom, up into management. I'm very honest, loyal, and respectful, much like our furry little friends! Giving your dog the best care it can have is what being a dog-lover is all about. I have always had a great connection with dogs and can't wait to spend some time with yours!!! I will be home for the entire summer, ensuring the best care for your dog! ! ! ! Experience in various fields of pet care - medication - enrichment training - introduction to the pack mentality - dog behavior and signs - grooming - diet
Reviews
My 2 boys are repeat "guests" of Mike's. As soon as they get into his house, they are out in the back exploring. Mike is absolutely wonderful with them. I honestly would rather change my plans if Mike can't take them, then try to find someone else. I wouldn't trust them to anyone else. I know Mike loves them as much as I do and treats them as I do.
I was so happy to leave my dog with Mike. I knew when I met him that Frank would be in good hands. Mike was warm and inviting. He sent me texts and videos while my dog was with him. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Mike!
I left my beloved Basset Hound mix, Charlie with Mike, his om and small dog, Gizmo for five nights last week. Charlie is a rescue dog and a little timid and shy. Mike has a lot of experience with dogs as a former doggie day care manager and it shows. Charlie came home healthy and happy. Mike updated me daily with photos and little tidbits about what Charlie was doing and feeling, which let us relax and enjoy our trip, knowing Charlie was in good hands. I would highly recommend Mike as he's an obvious dog lover and a very involved and loving caretaker.
Mike took such great care of my Spencer while I was on vacation. This was the first time we'd ever been away from him and Mike made the experience as easy as possible, by sending me pictures and keeping me updated throughout the day. Next time we go away, Spencer will only stay with one other person, and that's Mike! I can't thank him enough for the wonderful job he did.

A typical day
From experience, I have learned to form a unique bond with each dog in my care. I have handled and cared for over 50 large breed dogs at a time. To have the one-on-one experience with your dog would bring no better joy to myself or your pup! Great at walking, solo and in packs, persistent with direction, trained in dog safety, and have a niche for socializing dogs. I am proud to let you know your dog will be in great hands! The positions I have worked and been promoted to are in the following order, -dog handler: (watching, integrating, and cleaning up after 50+ large, medium, and small breed dogs -dog care supervisor: (more in depth and one-on-one care with the dogs, feeding, medicine) -overnight supervisor: (taking care of the overnight boarded dogs, feeding, cleaning, medicine) -shift supervisor: (overseer of all operations in the location, from grooming, to training, to transportation, I was responsible for every dog who came in or left our facility)
