Dependable & Experienced dog care

Pet care experience

Dog Owners and their dog(s) will love the fact I provide professional care with vast experience in animal care in general. As a graduate of Moorpark College in 2005 with a degree in Exotic Animal Training & Management I have had experience working with hundreds of different species of animals ranging anywhere from Chimpanzees to Wolves. However my favorite animal in the world is still the common dog.. You will never find a more loyal friend! I’ve owned big dogs from the Great Dane (Honey), to the little breeds like my Chihuahua (Peanut), and loved and cared for them like they were my children. I’m sure you want someone to care for them in the same manner. This is where I come in! Is your dog very active and love going to the beach, playing fetch, or go on walks/hikes? So do! Do you have an older dog that just needs someone to keep them company at the house, or to administer medications? I can do that as well. I’ve worked prior with celebrity dogs and pets as well. For more than 10 years Hugh M. Hefner trusted to caretaker for his dogs and exotic animals at his famous mansion in Holmby Hills, Ca. Many of his animals (including his beloved German Shepard Archie), needed daily medication(s) and specialized care My specialty is animal enrichment & positive reinforcement training. I want your dog(s) to live the best life possible, and seeing your pet(s) as happy and healthy as possible makes me a happy human being.

Michael has been very helpful taking care of my dog Lola whenever I travel for work and holidays. He knows so much about animals and they all seem to love him. He even taught my untrainable dog to sit, lay down and roll over with a clicker device he has from his animal training days. He has a very interesting background training and caring for all different breeds and types of animals that I never worry about my pets when in Michael’s care. He was even kind enough to take out the trash, bring in the mail and has stayed for extended periods of time in my home to watch my pets. Highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a friendly,responsible and compassionate caregiver for their pet.

A typical day

Like taking dogs in my truck to Dog Beach in Del Mar and simply throwing the tennis ball playing fetch shoreside. Great way to give them excersize while staying cool in the heat. If your dog(s) are not Beach friendly, we can always venture to the dog park. One of my favorite dog parks is the Maggie Houlihan Memorial Park in Cardiff. Walking/hiking with dog(s) is another great way for your pet (and myself), to get great exercise.
