Friendly, outgoing, animal-lover!

Pet care experience

When I was in graduate school, my friends would ask me to help them out by watching their pets when they went out of town, whether it was just for a weekend or an entire week! I have watched both cats and dogs, and live with my roommate and her two cats. I love animals and want to make sure that there is little interruption in an animal's regular care schedule. I have a teaching job that takes place on weekday afternoons, so I am available to help care for your pet during the day when you're at work until 2 pm. For overnight stays, I would be available on weekends. I always try to make sure that there is as little disruption as possible in a pet's routine when I watch them so it's important to me that I am as timely with their care needs as I can be! I know how special a pet is to someone and will always do my best to ensure their safety and comfort.

Michael Divino has proven himself as a loyal, trustworthy, and responsible colleague and friend for the many years that I have known him. Michael has been a pet sitter for my dog, Millie, countless times—each of which she was perfectly cared for, and every specific direction followed with the utmost precision. I cannot recommend him enough for this position, and firmly believe that his gentle disposition and upstanding character make him the perfect candidate for this opportunity.

Michael has taken care of my Australian Shepherd, Nomad, more times than I can count. I trust him implicitly in his care, and I'm an extremely picky dog owner :). He has a ton of compassion, skill, and is the utmost professional in his interactions with everyone. I absolutely would recommend him as a dog walker/sitter/caregiver.

Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet

I think it's very important to first know what the dog's routine is, so I can prepare myself to accommodate my schedule to theirs! That way, I can plan my day around their schedule. I think it is also important to know if they have any dietary restrictions they have, what they're like around other animals in case we come across any on a walk, and any other special requests the owner has.

A typical day

I am happy to do any activity with any dog I am watching, whether that's taking them on a long walk, to the local dog park, or just throwing a ball for them to catch in their own home.
