Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide care exclusively in your home or in safe outdoor environments like parks, trails, and dog-friendly neighborhoods. This ensures your pet can stay in a familiar space with their normal routines, which reduces stress and keeps them relaxed while you’re away. In your home, I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided. I am meticulous about home security—doors locked, alarms set, gates secured, and pets supervised at all times. I keep your space clean, respect your home as if it were my own, and maintain a calm, structured environment for your pet. When we head outside, I use safe walking routes, avoid reactive triggers, and adjust our pace to your pet’s comfort level—whether that’s a gentle sniffari or an energetic walk. My background in public safety and working with animals means I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments and situations. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable in the environment where they feel most at home.
Ratings and reviews
Micah was awesome and did a great job taking care of Bodhi. He had great communication, sent lots of pictures, and Bodhi loved spending time with him. Highly recommend having Micah care for tour pet!
Micah has been walking Charlie for the past two months and we are so happy we found him. He's very communicative, sends us daily updates and the best pictures of Charlie giving him the cutest goo-goo eyes! 😃 We know she's in good hands and we highly recommend him. Thanks, Micah!
Micah is always our first choice ! He is thorough, communicative and understands puppies to senior dogs ( we’ve had both! ).
Our dog loved his time with Micah! We were traveling from out of state and needed a trustworthy pet sitter for the day—and after searching high and low, we’re so glad we found Micah. There’s a reason his reviews are glowing! He’s a fantastic communicator, warm, reliable, and clearly cares for your pet as if they were his own. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Micah to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
Micah P. was truly wonderful — kind, caring, and incredibly attentive with our furry baby. He treated the interactions as so much more than just pet sitting, showing genuine care and connection. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such thoughtful hands. Highly recommend!
thank you Micah!

Schedule
I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to stay fully available and attentive to your pet’s routine throughout the day. I’m an early riser (usually up by 5:00 a.m.) and can easily accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening care. Because of my law enforcement background and years of varied shift work, I’m comfortable adjusting to any schedule—whether your pet needs structured walks, medication reminders, or consistent check-ins. Your pet’s needs come first, and I’m able to provide reliable, routine-focused care every day of the week.
