Port Richmond Awesome Pet Sitting
Pet care experience
I’ve moved back to my hometown of Philadelphia! I own a home with a large yard - plenty of room for fetch and tug of war. If you have an active dog, I'd love to take them on long walks or a run as well! I'll be spending all the time in the world with your dogs and will send you photos and e-mails during their stay. I do not accept bookings if I will not be with your dog for the entirety of their stay - meaning they'll never be left alone in my care. I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your pets and have them as guests while you're away! About this sitter: Hi! I'm Mac. I'm an animal lover and regularly petsit my friends animals when they are out of town. I graduated from West Chester University with an English Education degree. I volunteer with PAWS Philadelphia (the only no-kill animal shelter in the city) and look forward to meeting your pets! Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog lover my whole life, having grown up with them - they always seem to be a constant in my life no matter where I go or what I do. Since moving back here, I've volunteered with PAWS Philadelphia, WAGS, and petsit for my friends when they are out of town. Experience administering medication? Yes. I am Red Cross Pet First Aid certified, and used to work with military working dogs in a professional capacity.
Reviews
Mike was amazing with Little Bear and Tigger! It was our first time away from our Tigger (reactive dog). He provided both dogs with individual visits to dog park. He was fantastic with updates and included pictures. We will definitely rebook whenever we go on vacation.
Mike is hands down the best.
Mike is great! My picky hound dogs love him, and he was awesome with communication.
Mike is absolutely fantastic! He took incredible care of our two older dogs, both with medical issues. There aren't enough words to describe how professional and reliable he is. Throughout his stay, he sent regular photo-updates which inevitably made us smile, because we knew the pups were in great hands during our trip.

My service is unique in that I will be with your dog for the duration of the stay, so they will never be left alone in my care. I have a K9 First Aid Kit at all times. I respect all rules of the house and have multiple recurring clients I’ve provided housesitting services for. I’m fine with (and recommend) clients use cameras for housesitting services. I don’t crate dogs unless directed to by the owner.

Information Mike B. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know their favorite things to do, if they have any medical considerations, and any specific behavioral aspects unique to them. I work a lot with special needs canines and always welcome them! I'm an animal lover, so I don't have any breed preferences - but people seem to like that I can handle the responsibility of larger dogs as I'm 6'2.
A typical day
If you have an active dog, I'd love to take them on runs! I walk dogs 4 or more times a day depending on their age and energy level - if you have any requests (like long walks with your dog) I'm always up for it. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Your dog can sleep anywhere they want and you permit - whether it be on the couch, in the bed, on the floor, or if you have crate trained them that works too! Time I'll spend with your dog: As much time as possible - I am a firm believer that dogs should have companions and be cared for. If there is a schedule concern where I know I would not be able to spend a significant amount of time with your dogs due to work / school - I could not accept the request. I will walk your dog 4 or more times a day (depending on length of stay) as well as play games with them.

Availability
I currently work from home, so pet care can take priority as I can essentially make my own hours and frequently finish deadlines ahead of schedule.
