Pet care experience

I have experience training puppies as an owner. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and cats, animals with special medical conditions, medications, and care needs. My daily routine is very simple and non-migratory. With the exception of an errand here or there I can spend all day with your pet for their exercise and emotional needs!

He was great! We had him housesit for several days and he was very communicative. Responsive the whole time and sent daily updates with pics. He was very relaxed and calm around our very anxious pup-he knew how to comfort and bond with her! He was flexible for the meet and greets and arrival/departure times. We’d definitely hire him again!

Michael stayed with our house and two cats for a week and they were clearly in kind and capable hands. We won’t hesitate to get in touch in future!

Michael did a great job keeping us updated and sending pictures of our two dogs and cat. One of our dogs gets medicine 3 times a day and he did great following our care instructions! All 3 of our animals have very different needs and I feel that they were met well :) it was my first time leaving the animals behind while being out of the country and I did not feel like I had to worry about them at all while I was gone! -Lexi

Since this was the first time we hired a sitter, we weren't sure what to expect. Michael did a great job. He was very attentive to our pup Winnie. He was patient so that Winnie got comfortable with him and they took walks together. Michael frequently communicated with us when we were out-of-town and coordinated very well with our relatives that were also enlisted to take care of our pets. Michael was a very calm influence and was easy to work with. We'd hire him again for our next out-of-town trip.
