Hey everyone! My name is Michael and I am a nursing student in the Philadelphia area/suburb area that is just looking for flexible part time work. I have cared for several dogs of ranging from puppies to large dogs! I am new to cats but open to helping in any way I can, also in the process of adopting my own! I am very new to this app, just doing my best to stay afloat while studying for school!

Michael helped us with a few drop-in visits while we were on vacation and he was so attentive, helpful and caring of our dog. He was so communicative (with lightning fast responses) and asked really thoughtful questions to understand our dog and her care better. We will definitely use him again!

Michael has taken wonderful care of my dog Dottie. Upon first meeting Dottie, Michael was sweet and affectionate with her, and she took to him immediately. It was extremely easy to coordinate a dog sitting schedule with Michael, and he was an excellent communicator throughout his time caring for Dottie, so I was never in the dark. I will be using Michael for my future pet sitting needs, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to others!

Michael is a great pet sitter! He took brilliant care of our large two cats while we were out of town. He followed our detailed instructions for our cats, keeping them safe and happy, and he maintained the frequent and specific feeding schedule recommended by their vet. Michael provided reassuring updates, including photos, and this helped us feel more relaxed, knowing they were in such good hands. He seemed to genuinely understand their little personality quirks and appreciate the differences in how each cat prefers to interact with a new person. We will absolutely look to Michael in the future to care for our cats again!

Michael is exactly who you’d want to leave your pet with! I am so grateful for how patient he has been with my extremely anxious sheepdog poodle mix. Michael’s calm energy, sweet nature, and perseverance won her over (and she isn’t easy with new people, especially men). Michael is so trustworthy, I have no worries when we travel and he stays with our needy pup!

Schedule

I finished school after 2:30 most days, so preferably after that time I’m available for any service! I am currently free weekends. I can be flexible if there needs to be an overnight stay with a dog as long as I have some notice!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Michael can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Just how they feel towards new people so I know what to expect! I definitely want to be careful on my approach to pets who may be timid to new people.
