Pet care experience

Positive, Patient Pet Sitter

I’ve been a dog dad for over a year to Theo, my energetic pit mix, and recently welcomed a beagle puppy, Daisy. Theo was a six-month-old rescue with more love and excitement than I thought possible. While he was being trained to be a guard dog, I’ve worked with him to learn the skill of being calm. Yet, it’s always a work in progress! Daisy was just over eight-weeks when we adopted her almost two months ago, and I’ve learned a lot about puppy care ever since. We are currently potty training and learning basic commands. Between them and our 15-year-old cat, I’ve learned how to handle just about everything — from training and exercise to senior care and lots of cuddles. I know how much pets mean to a family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and patience I give my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my pets with patience and positive reinforcement — focusing on rewards, structure, and consistency instead of punishment. I believe every pet thrives when they feel safe, understood, and loved, and I bring that same approach to every animal I care for.

Michael is so engaged with the pets! He brought a laser pointer specifically because he thought it would be fun to try with my cat—she LOVED it!

I appreciate that Michael sends pictures of my cat playing, eating, and snuggling. It helps reassure me that she’s doing okay while I’m gone!

Really appreciated Michael coming to walk our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs also really appreciated it!

I could always tell my cat was well cared for—not just fed, but brushed and played with as well.

Michael’s been great with our dog, from what I can tell she’s always so excited to see him and he’s been very consistent and good to her! Would absolutely recommend him
