Pet care experience

Patient, caring, and active sitter

Whether your dog is a high-energy hiking companion, a curious explorer, or a couch-loving companion who just needs some attention and care, I focus on providing a calm, dependable, and personalized experience. I treat every dog as an individual and care for them the way I would want someone to care for my own. I’m comfortable with active dogs who need more than just a quick walk around the block, and I enjoy helping them get the exercise and enrichment they need while keeping safety and comfort as the top priority. But if that’s not your dog’s speed, I can provide a calm private setting for them to relax as they await your return.

Michael was a wonderful sitter for our Billie Jean. He is a great communicator who cared about keeping her both safe AND happy. She had a wonderful time. I highly recommend!!

Michael is fantastic. He put my chocolate lab at ease right away and took him on several walks. Will book again

Michael is very easy to communicate with, has a calm and easy-going demeanor, and he is an experienced, responsible pet sitter. He is flexible on timing for drop off and pick up, provides photo updates, and is especially great with handling special needs/anxious pets. He has watched Peanut and Butter countless times and even worked on their anxiety/reactivity during walks. Michael also has the perfect house set up for pet sitting as Peanut and Butter made themselves right at home and enjoyed exploring the fully fenced backyard and quiet neighborhood. 10/10 would recommend.

Schedule

I currently work from home and can provide full-time supervision of your dog with frequent potty and yard breaks. I also have capacity for multiple walks during the day in addition to yard time in a fenced in private yard with lots of sticks and smells to explore. If your dog is a runner we can even try to incorporate some jogs or runs into the day!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard that offers lots of space for dogs to roam and explore. I don’t have rules about dogs on furniture or beds and can accommodate your typical practice. I don’t have any other pets (except for a Beta fish!) and don’t accept multiple clients at one time so your dog will get full attention. I can accommodate your feeding and exercise schedules so nothing gets off-track.
