About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!

About: I have had family dogs my whole life. At home, I currently have a black lab (Bella), a black dachshund (Olive), and a cat (Brody)! While at school, my roommate has a pitbull mix (Gordy). Last year I dog sat for a family friend for a week & fell in love with their dog. Can’t wait to do the same with your dog(s)!! I am a full-time graduate student at GVSU, so pet care will fit into my daily/weekly routine around class times. I have classes Monday-Friday during the week. I have had pets my whole life. I have 2 dogs and a cat at home (Charlevoix). I also live with my roommates dog while in GR. I make sure my dogs are well cared for, well taken care of, and very much loved.

I work part-time at Wendy’s on Division at varying times, so we will have to discuss when I can walk if you live in Traverse City. I will always be able to sit though. I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to lizards and rats, I love all of them equally. I couldn’t imagine a life without a pet companion and would do anything for my pets, and yours too. My cats like to wake me up right around seven for their food, I feed them and give them fresh water every morning. I work Monday thru Friday and as soon as I get home everyday my cat Howard is right at the door to greet me, he never fails. I usually sit with for sometime then he gets some food. If they’re not lounging around the house or napping on my lap I like to play with their toys. They also love to watch bird a squirrel videos on the tv. Like I said previously, my pets take priority in my household, I am very attentive to my babies and can tell right away if something is off and we do not hesitate to take them to the vet, and I always do exactly what the vet recommends.

“I have known Michael, Mike for over 20 years. He has taken care of my pets over the years both cats and dogs. He is very loving, patient, dependable and honest. He pays attention to your pets, whether walking them, or playing catch with their favorite toys. I never have to worry when I leave knowing Mike will take care of everything. Mike takes our Lab Possum on walks and hikes and for swims in the lake. He also watches and entertains our cat Birdie. He is a pet owner himself and loves animals. I can’t think of anybody I’d recommend more to walk and care for your family pet than Mike.”
