About Michael
My love for dogs and all pets has stretched my whole life. It has been my pleasure to look after so many others pets. I see every dog as a extrantion of the family and treat them with the respect they are deserving. Leaving any pet in my hands means they will get my full attention and care. Each animal is precious and deserves great walks and a comfy home to relax.
I live in the middle of Cork city which means plenty of access to parks and lots of walks. My home is extremely friendly for a pet to enjoy. I have plenty of time for walks and training as I work from home. My years of loving animals in my family life isn't my only qualification like many others. I have worked for a number of animal welfare groups, helping training and care for animals. I also have a lot of training under my belt when it comes to training dogs and dog psychology.

Safe to say I love dogs and I aim to make sure every dog has long enjoyable walks, a nice home to stay when they are away from home. My home is a very quiet environment which is perfect for dogs that require a more relaxed environment.
For some I can also help train their dog and deal with dogs that require a little more support.
Always looking for more furry friends to care for.

Michael looked after our Golden Retriever for 3 nights. She was very well cared for the whole time. Michael's communication was brilliant and he sent us updates during her stay. Our dog very much enjoyed her weekend city break!

Familiar with dog training techniques
My love for animals started at a very young age. Rescuing stray cats with my mother. My first pet was a dog at a young age then followed by 2 wonderful cats. My personal love for animals has always led me to look after pets, starting by volunteering in school and continuing it in college and after.
I have infinite patience for animals and all their needs. Ranging from most friendly of home pets to more demanding animals that need that extra bit of care and attention. Any animal is in the safest hands with me. Treating any animals I come into contact with as if I were a member of the family.
Over my many years of caring for and protecting animals i have acquired:
Animal handling
Animal training
Animal psychology and behavioral issues
Special dog handling (dogs with special needs)
Dog socialization training
Experience:
Dog walker east cork 4 years
Dog training cork city 2 years
Dog Psychology and training 1 year
Animal handling and training 1 year
Animal Volunteering and rescue services 2 years
