Safety, trust & environment

My cats are members of my family and I will treat your pets the same. They will get all of the attention they want while I'm there, and I'll take care of food, water, and medication. I'll leave your home at least as clean as when you left and send lots of updates.

Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet

Let's do a meet and greet before the first visit so I can get to know you and your pets. We'll cover things like their routines, feeding, litter boxes, and where everything's located in your home.

A typical day

For cat visits, I'll take care of their food and water needs, clean the litter boxes, and make sure they're doing OK. Depending on their mood, I'll provide playtime with their favorite toys and/or pets and scritches. I can also bring in the mail and water plants if needed. For dog walks, we can do anything from a chill walk around the neighborhood to a jog in the park for more active dogs. It's all about what the dog wants on that particular day!

Pet care experience

My love of animals started when my family adopted our first dog when I was 4 years old! I've been a cat parent since 2001. I love the companionship of both cats and dogs, but prefer to stay a bit more flexible as a cat-only household. I'm very organized and will take care of your pet like I do my own! When I travel, I know how important the photos and updates from the sitter are to me, so I hope to provide the same to you.
