I'll treat them like they're my own

Pet care experience

I've been exposed to dogs all my life. I remember taking care of my grandma's golden, Tabasco, ever since I was a little kid. After having an English Cream golden retriever for 10 years, I now have a pandemic puppy, Enzo, another golden. I've had almost a full year of experience working as a Kennel Attendant at an animal hospital/boarding facility, where I: -Maintained proper animal environment by cleaning kennels, and provided fresh bedding and water at all times. -I prepared and distributed prescribed diets, and administered medication. -Assisted doctors and technicians as needed, as well as clients -Learned proper animal restraint, and supervised large groups of pets. -Assisted grooming staff with bathing and handling.

Michael is one of the most reliable people around! I left my Charlie with him for a few hours and was delighted to hear he had played tug of war in the backyard (his favorite game), and was so tired that he slept all the way home! I'd recommend Michael to anyone, he'll always be on top of everything.

I'm welcoming of all breeds of various ages/sizes! Let me know if any medical conditions your fury baby has, along with any special instructions, and I’ll be sure to care for them like they’re my own.

A typical day

My apartment building is SUPER dog-friendly. We’d go for a few walks each day and make sure to stop at D’Angelo Dog Park, five minutes walking distance from my building. I also have tons of dog toys to ensure we never get bored!
