Mike is great! He is professional and really cares about our dogs. We contacted him when we were in a bind to walk our two pups. It was a great decision. Mike provided us with photos of our pups and a GPS of his route. On a hot day when one of our dogs couldn’t make the whole walk he took them back and continue to walk with our other dog. I would recommend his services for anyone looking for a great dog “runner”!
Details: 2 dogs • 2 - 10 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • 45 minutes • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

We have a lab (Ginger) that has never been run before. She was overweight after the winter months and I needed help with her afternoon outings. I had a newborn and was so used to her pulling that I knew I could not take them both on walks together. In comes Mike! He is so friendly, accommodating, (and super fit!). I told him about the pulling and he said that would not be an issue at all. He was extremely reliable and helped get Ginger's energy out. He also went above and beyond to ensure our requests were satisfied. After about a month or so, I am pleased to see Ginger in better shape and NO LONGER PULLING on the leash! I have taken both baby and Ginger for a walk recently with absolutely NO ISSUES! I am thankful to Mike above all else. I would definitely use him in the future again. Thanks Mike!
Details: 1 dog • 1 - 2 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • No preference • My home, venue, etc.

My husky responds beautifully to Mark. He seems really committed to her safety and growth. We're working on weight loss, and paces the exertion to her stamina

If I could choose all of the above choices, I would. When he met Pedro, he immediately bent down to get to know him and Pedro loved him. Pedro now knows when he’s coming to take him for a jog and he excitedly sits at the door crying. He and I chat for a bit and he gives me advice about things I could try to help my pup with some training issues. He also brings his own pup to help Pedro on these jogs. He’s easy to talk to and very personable. I’m glad I found him.

Mike runs each of my two dogs twice a week. After running the dogs for 2 miles or so, the dogs come back tired but happy. On their off days, they are more energetic.
When he has to reschedule due to inclimate weather, he calls me beforehand. He is quick to respond when I contact him. He provides short videos of each dog during each run as well as a map of where he has taken them on their run. I am sure my dogs are healthier and enjoy the diversion of new sights and smells!
