Pet care experience

Full-time Animal Lover

I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. From my childhood German Shepherd to my first puppy, I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. That explains why I live happily with two fur-babies, Rigatoni and Millie. Between caring for my clients pets and pets of my own over the last decade, I believe I have attained the necessary skills to properly care for any house pet no matter the size or temperament. I understand the love and attention our fellow canine friends need. I make it my responsibility to keep my client's pets active, regular, well-fed and properly groomed. I stick to a schedule and prefer a 24-hour notice, but I can definitely remain lenient with last minute conflicts as we all have them at one point or another. That said, I work from home and can certainly be flexible with your schedule. I am almost always willing to make special accommodations.

Bentley and Marley were well cared for at Michael’s. Walks every day and a big yard to roam in. Everything was excellent!

Michael was great! He sent us lots of pictures and Brutus came home happy and healthy after his stay. I highly recommend Michael and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!

Michael took great care of our energetic little dog Cheech. Lots of playtime, walks, and photos sent showing him having a terrific time. He came home tired and happy. Don’t hesitate to book with Michael!

Michael is awesome! Our 10 month old pup loves going to stay with him while mom and dad get in a round of golf. Michael is very welcoming and we could tell immediately that he was a great fit for our puppy’s care. Highly recommended by us!!🐶❤️

Michael was really easy to work with. Quick to reply. Clear directions. Nice guy. He sent pics a few times and walked the dogs a couple of times per day. Mine was zonked out all night.

Schedule

I graduated from UCLA and work as a media planner for Ohio State University. In my free time, I’m always looking for flexible ways to combine my passions with work. I work from home and am free every day of the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a home with a large fenced backyard and tons of shade. I enjoy walking my dogs in the evening when it has cooled down a bit but I am totally willing and able to take your fur baby on as many walks as they need to stay healthy and happy. Additionally, I can always crate your fur baby or keep them in a private room if necessary.

Pets

A typical day

Beyond just walking your pet, I like to exercise them and keep them entertained in the house by playing fetch, tug of war and other games.

It would be helpful to know if your pet has any specific needs that must be met. Information such as medication or ointment administration would be helpful to know ahead of time.
