Caring, Patient, and Fun Care!

Pet care experience

I have professionally trained and cared for large mammals as well as my own amazing pups and kitts. I have also worked with and sat for large and small birds. Those in my care are my first priority for their safety, comfort, and well being. I am comfortable with all friendly ones and very patient with the shy ones. I am very respectful of my client’s property and privacy. I never kennel my personal dogs so I have a true understanding and appreciation for those that want and need their family to be comfortable in their own surroundings during their parents’ absence. My own vehicle is pet friendly and I always enjoy walks in neighborhoods and parks.

Michael, thank you for taking my request with such a short notice. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring pet care. Their dedication and genuine love for animals made all the difference for my very needed rescued pup. They sent me adorable photos and updates during her stay. I’ll definitely book any other service in the future with Michael.

It’s such a joy and relief to find someone who truly cares and loves dogs the way that Michael does. My dog is not a pet, he is my best friend. It’s difficult for me to trust him with other people, but Micheal immediately put me at ease. There are a lot of rovers who just do it for the money, Michael does it because he loves dogs and truly cares about their happiness. I absolutely trust Michael, and will definitely and entrust my dog, Woodward’s care to him in the future. People like Michael are what this platform was intended to be for, trustworthy, caring, genuine people who will care for your dog just as you would!

Michael was a wonderful dog sitter! He was very communicative before meeting, and he made sure to ask questions about Waffle when we dropped her off. He sent photos, and our dog had a great time! Would highly recommend to anyone and would request him again if we come back to the Portland area!
