About Michael A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a row house with a fenced back yard, and our neighborhood is great for long walks and play sessions in the park.
Information Michael A. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know not only what your pet loves, but what they don't love. Do they like "saying hi" on the dog walk or do they prefer to be aloof. For medications, I'll ask about all the details and the timing and the dosage.
A typical day
I'll talk to you about what your pet loves, and what they don't love The key is to provide play time continuity. The same with walks. Dogs feel more comfortable if the "new guy" seems to know the old routines--the favorite toys, the coveted walks and the yummiest treats.

Safe, Playful, Fun Visits
Pet care experience
I've had dogs and cats all my life. My first paying job was in fifth grade, watching Frito, a 10 year old grumpy but lovable Chihuahua, while his lawyer owner traveled for court cases. I'll keep your pup safe on walks and will provide a quality play break, and I'm an expert at cat toys and litter box cleaning.

Reviews

Michael was exceptional, as always!

Michael went above and beyond by agreeing to an extra drop in day on short notice, dealing with a faulty door lock, cleaning up cat throw up, and paying an extra visit to check on my sick cat. I am very grateful for his flexibility and very high level of care for my cat.

Michael took great care of Jack again, including new food and medicine routines. While I'm away, it's so reassuring to know that Jack is in good hands when Michael is his sitter.
Michael is great. Very communicative and patient with what can be a difficult cat. Highly recommend!
