Pet care experience
Animal Caretaker
Hey everyone! I grew up here in Lafayette, CA, and have been around dogs my entire life. My dog walking business started when I was in elementary school so I have plenty of experience and references. I am a responsible father and dog dad, that lives a very active and holistic lifestyle. I have been around animals my entire life. I understand that our pets are our children and I will treat them like my own. I am very loving and nuturing towards all of our fury friends. I excel in handling large, (dominant, and aggressive breeds), small breeds, and anything in between. I have a 5 year old Australian Shepherd of my own. I absolutely love all animals and you will never have to worry when they are under my care.

I make sure to abide by the schedule and needs of your pets. They will always have water, be fed on time, and let out to use the bathroom.
Ratings and reviews
Michael is an amazing house and pet sitter! This was first time we left our German Shepard with someone other than family. Our dog doesn’t generally warm up to people but he immediately bonded with Michael. He took excellent care of our home and gave our dog lots of love and attention. He kept in touch daily and sent photos which gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend him!
Michael did an amazing job walking our German Shepherd, Targa, who’s very energetic and tends to overreact. He handled him with great control, responsibility, and professionalism, while showing genuine care. Targa had a great time, and I felt completely at ease knowing my boy was in the best hands🙏🏼
Michael took great care of our dog and our house. He was comfortable walking our German Shepherd and kept us updated multiple times a day during our vacation.
Michael saved our trip when he stepped in after our pet sitter (from another platform) cancelled five days before our departure. Between a family member and Michael's drop ins, we were able to cobble together a schedule to meet our pet care needs. Upon meeting Michael, we could immediately sense how comfortable and adept he was at handling Sky, our 100lb American Bulldog, and caring for two persnickety senior cats. We felt at ease with his calm demeanor, knowledge and experience with cats and dogs. He was easy to work with and flexible to accommodate our family member's changing work schedule. We found happy and healthy pets when we returned home. Thank you, Michael, from the bottom of our hearts.
Michael did a wonderful job taking care of our two high energy doodles on our first long away from home vacation!! He took excellent care of our house and was very communicative, reassuring and friendly!
Michael was great. Easy to communicate with and it was wonderful knowing Lucy was in good hands.
