About Michael
Experience: 1 yr
Hello everyone! My name is Michael, and here is a little bit of background about my experience with pets! When I was 9, I got my first dog which was a wonderful Rottweiler named Lady. She was my best friend growing up, and has sparked my love for animals. At age 16, I got a malinois named Mia. Lady and Mia were pals, and though there were some, the two got along well. In 2021, Lady passed away, but in 2023, I adopted another dog, an Australian cattle dog, whose name was also Lady, but renamed her to Nike. When I found Nike, it was instant love. I was told that she was not friendly towards strangers, especially men, but she instantly felt safe with me and jumped on my lap to be carried. As mentioned, I love animals, and have cared for them all my life. I have cared for bearded dragons, geckos, fish, dogs, cats, and even snakes.

Michael is very professional and friendly. He handles our two dogs with great care. He keeps the yard free of dog “prizes” 3x a week. He takes one of our dogs for walks as many days as we request weekly. They both seem to have a good comfort level around him. When we are on vacation he makes sure to check that they have food and water daily in addition to walks.
