Ten years ago, Mike was tired of working in an office and took an interim job scooping poop at a large franchise dog daycare in Tampa. He quickly became the general manager of that facility, and led it to become one of the most successful pet resorts in that franchise system and in Tampa Bay. In 2020, he set out on his own with partner Taylor Wallace, and they’ve since bought and built four pet resorts in Tampa, FL where he oversees all aspects of Paws ‘n’ Rec operations
