Michael & Tracy looked after Ivan Rudenko’s pets & home

Mike was a great dog dad to his Australian Shepherd, Granite. He raised him from a puppy and took the time to learn about various training techniques which resulted in Granite growing up to be an exceptionally well behaved and overall was an incredible dog that was universally loved. They had a special relationship where Mike took him everywhere. They were constantly hiking and Mike loved to take Granite camping whenever he could. Mike is great with my own dog, Mowgli and many of our friends’ dogs. He has been trusted to look after our dogs on numerous occasions and he always treats other people’s dogs like his own. You can tell Mike is good with dogs every time he interacts with them. In our circle of friends we refer to Mike as the “dog whisperer” due to dogs being naturally drawn to him and always having a positive response. I have never witnessed a dog have a negative response to Mike and vice versa. Mike and Tracy would make great dog and house sitters. They own their house and keep the interior and exterior in excellent condition. They are always very considerate of our home and our dog when they come to visit and leave our guest room nice and tidy when they leave.
