Michael can care for
Availability
Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. I build my schedule around the animals I’m caring for — making sure they have consistent feeding times, walks, play, companionship, and downtime. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique rhythm and needs, whether that means early-morning walks, midday check-ins, or quiet evening snuggles. I also stay in regular communication with owners, providing updates and photos so they feel connected and reassured. Caring for animals has been part of my life for over 30 years, so incorporating their needs into my day feels second nature.

Safety, trust & environment
My approach to pet care is centered on safety, consistency, and compassion. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while their family is away. I also respect the home as if it were my own, keeping things tidy and secure.
Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet
It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medical needs, training cues, likes and dislikes, and any behaviors or anxieties. This allows me to keep their day familiar, comfortable, and stress-free.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality, including walks, playtime, enrichment games, outdoor time, cuddles, and quiet companionship. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of attention and engagement throughout the day.

Reviews
Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.
Michael was great. Our Keke gal was sick a few days before we left for our trip. I was so stressed. We took her to the vet and she was feeling better by the time we left for our trip. I knew she was in good hands with Michael. He kept me up to date on her feedings and bowel movements. She was at ease with Michael all weekend. Michael not only gave her extra affection but also gave Daisy gal and Reggie bud lots of love too. Can’t thank Michael enough!
Michael did a great job house and pet sitting for us. We have three dogs and three chickens and they were all happy and healthy when we got home. The house was neat and Michael even washed his sheets and made his bed backup so it was ready to go. There was a significant storm while we were away and he took the initiative to secure anything outside that may be damaged. He sent daily updates along with pictures. He was very responsive to any messages we sent him. He even took our dachshund on a field trip to Home Depot so he wouldn’t be alone when his two sisters were off on a hike with our friend. We would definitely ask Michael to sit for us again.
I am so grateful and fortunate to have found Michael to help me feel safe and secure knowing my little man is in the best hands! 5 stars are just not enough!!! Thank you again and I would recommend him for anyone who needs a reliable and respectful home sit for your fur babies.
