What satisfied clients are saying!
Mike has always gone above and beyond in his care with Nova! Whether it's being flexible and changing a walk to a daycare session, or dropping her off at a different location than where he picked her up, he makes sure he does whatever he can to help his clients. Outside of his flexibility, the bond he has developed with Nova and the care he takes in every interaction with her supercede's 99.9% of dog walkers / doggy daycare's out there. In times where Nova has not been feeling well, he's helped to clean when I'm away from home and goes the extra mile to make sure that she's OK. I could not be happier with my experience with Mike and would recommend him to any dog owner out there!

Our dog can be a bit extra with new people, so we can’t trust him with just anybody. Mike’s calm and thoughtful demeanour helped create trust quickly amongst all of us–humans and dog alike. We’ve had Mike care for our dog with both overnight boarding and the occasional dog walk. He’s the first person we contact…and hope he’s available!

Your dog will be in good hands with Mike, as a dog walker and for boarding. He’s taken care of my Aussie Shepherd Luna for more than two years and she can be a handful. Mike is incredibly calm, patient and loving with all his dogs — he takes the time to get to know your dog and give it whatever special attention it needs. My friend began using him and her dog has completely changed after using Mike. He’s also reliable and makes sure Luna is safe - i’m not afraid leaving Luna with him at all. Most importantly, Luna adores Mike, jumping in circles when she see him at the door or on St. Clair (that says a lot!).

Mike has been walking and boarding our dogs Rosa and Lupe since 2021 and there's no one we trust more in doing so. He has always been extremely responsive, trustworthy, and caring in ensuring that our dogs are getting the walks and care/attention they need. I can't recommend him enough!

Mike is incredible! I’ve been trusting Mike with my dogs for about 10 years, with both regular dog walking and boarding. He’s compassionate, calm, caring and truly loves his job! I trust him wholeheartedly with my fur babies :)

Mike has been our dog walker for the better part of a decade. He’s reliable, trustworthy, gentle, and a great communicator. The sincere affection that he shows for all the dogs in his care is obvious. He has been such a help to our family, and has gone above and beyond in his care for our Mika. We could not recommend Mike more highly.

Mike has been taking me for walks to High Park for at least seven years and occasionally boarding me for a few days at his home when my family is away. So I know what I’m talking about when I say he is the Best!
Mike is always kind and gentle and since I’m 9 yrs old and not as spry as I used to be, he sometimes has to help me up into the boot of his car to join my buddies for the drive to the park.
He keeps his attention on us as we play and run and always makes sure we have water to drink.
I’m sure Kim and Don would agree that Mike is the best dog walker around, and I give him a rating of 5 bully sticks!

To say that Mike is great with dogs is an understatement.
He treats our guy Bailie like family and they truly have a special relationship.
Bailie jumps in excitement whenever Mike’s name is mentioned!
We wanted someone that was skilled and confident to run Bailie off leash and that’s what Mike does daily with the pack.
For the past 3 years and counting, it is safe to say that Bailie’s favourite hour of the day is when he is with Mike.

Mike has been walking my Aki for almost 6 years now, since he was only a few months old. Aki is a very stubborn and willful Shiba Inu but he adores Mike. He is a rare dog that sometimes needs to be lured outside with treats. Yet, when it’s time to go with Mike, Aki is anxiously waiting to go play with him and his doggie buddies. Mike is wonderful with him, both patient and loving, just what he needs. They go to the off leash at High Park where Mike takes extra care with Aki as he is a runner and is not easy off lead. I am never worried about his safety when Aki is with him. We are so very grateful for Mike, I can't recommend him highly enough.

We have trusted Mike for years with Gage. He genuinely cares for Gage’s well being and it shows through Gage’s excitement when Mike pulls up! Mike is observant and responsive, making adjustments to his walking pack to match Gage’s senior energy levels and notifies us if there are any anomalies in his behaviour. We have also boarded Gage with Mike and had a wonderful experience. Mike has maintained our trust with his consistent and reliable care.
