It work full time as a teacher’s assistant and have summer vacation off. While the school year is ongoing, I’m able to care for pets after 3:30pm and during school vacations and weekends I’m more flexible and available. Sundays are more restricted as well because of my church schedule, however, I am still available afterwards.

About Michael A.

13 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

As of right now I am not able to care for any animals in my home. That being said, I do my best to keep with a consistent lifestyle for your pets. If there are rooms or furniture that you don’t want them to have access to then it will be so. Whether you want them to walk around the neighborhood, run around the yard, or be brought to a park we can make it happen. Personally, I enjoy being able to take animals into the world to get treats or to interact with others.

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a love of life since I was young. Whether insects, animals, or humans, I care for all the same. I’ve watched , helped raise, and babysat for dogs since I was 17. I’ve had many different experiences with animals from small dogs like Yorkshire Terriers to large dogs like English Mastiffs. I’m hoping to be able to connect with people and their animals for lasting relationships.

Michael has a warm and nurturing personality and is very dependable. He took care of our dog, Spike, every time we went on vacation. Spike was a mixed lab and would get excited when Michael came to the house. He would take him for walks, play with him, ensured that he was fed at the appropriate times. Michael would stay at our house so that Spike wasn't left alone for long periods of times, except for when he had to go to work. He would even let Spike sleep with him, which made Spike happy because he loved to be on the bed. Pets and pet owners will be happy with the services that Michael provides. He will not disappoint!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. From the moment we met, it was clear they genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which says everything. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the effort to keep my dog’s routine consistent. It felt less like a service and more like leaving my pet with someone who truly treats them like family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring dog sitter.

Michael has watched my pit bull multiple times, and he’s been great every time. She’s a rescue with anxiety and allergies, so she needs extra care but he handled it all easily. He’s reliable, patient, and really good with dogs that aren’t “easy.” The biggest thing is she was always calm and comfortable with him, which says everything. I’d trust him with her anytime and highly recommend him, especially for dogs with extra needs or specific routines.
