Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover to care for yours
Mike's first job was caring for his neighbors' pets. Mike has had pets since he was 10, and travelled around the world with his dogs and cats during his military career and regional sales role. Roscoe, Higgins, and Freyja are living the dream in the Pacific Northwest with frequent road (work) trips and cross-country visits to the family in Indiana and Massachusetts. Let me know if we can help you with your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment
I pay attention to the animals' behavior and routines. Consistency in feeding and bathroom breaks has made my pets very comfortable with my work and social routines. I have the flexibility to meet your routines and maintain the consistency you expect with your family while away from home. I recognize when it's time to stop playing, reduce the mileage, or go to the vet.
Ratings and reviews
Michael was wonderful! He took such great care of our cats while we were away for five days. He was super helpful, attentive, and made sure they always had plenty of food and water. I really appreciated the detailed notes and the pictures he sent each day—it gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands. We’ll definitely be happy to have Michael watch them again! 🐾
Michael was amazing with our dog. He took a last minute request and was so kind and easy to work with. He communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend Michael for any dog sitting needs!
Michael did an amazing job watching our dogs! He was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond for us. I actually forgot to leave the key under the mat before we left, and instead of making it an issue, Michael drove 40–50 minutes out of his way just to meet up with me and my fiancée to grab the keys so he could make sure our dogs were taken care of. That alone showed us how dependable and committed he is. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were away. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your pets, but Michael made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be using him again. 5 stars!
Mike spent a good deal of quality time with our pet. Walks, play behavior, Hygiene and energy were all conveyed in messages . Every day he was early and spent time playing with our pet. I appreciate the photos, too. Five stars for sure.
Michael was great with both of our pups and was able to help us out with a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are older, and he was very attentive to their needs and happy to spend time with them while matching their energy level rather than pushing them to do too much. He also paid attention to the weather each day and adjusted their walks accordingly so they could still get their daily exercise safely. He sent us regular updates and photos throughout our time away, so we always knew how they were doing and could see that they were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We had a great experience with Michael and would absolutely book with him again!
Michael did a fantastic job taking care of my pets! He was reliable, punctual, and communicated really well throughout the entire booking. He made sure my dog was fed, took him on walks, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that he kept me informed as my cats slowly warmed up to him. It was clear he was patient with them and paid attention to each of my pets’ personalities and needs. Overall, I had a great experience and felt like my animals were in good hands. I would absolutely book with Michael again and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!

Schedule
Mike works from home and is an early riser. While the coffee is brewing, all the animals are waking up with bathroom breaks and breakfast. Mike walks Roscoe after breakfast and dinner. Since Roscoe is a senior, we frequently split the two meals into snacks and shorter walks. When the cats are interested, they climb into the backpacks and go see the world with us.
