Pet care experience
Not only have I been a pet parent to canines since I was eighteen, I also have professional experience working with a pet sitting company based out of Dallas. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats, I've cared for a wide range of fur babies. The knowledge and understanding I've acquired will reflect in my top-notch pet services. I will provide an update with pictures during every visit and always try to exceed expectations. Your fur children will be in the most loving and capable hands. I provide the following add-on services: *Pet taxi (picking up and dropping off your fur baby from a location, such as your home and driving them to another location, like the veterinary clinic) *Plant watering (indoor/outdoor) *Basic dog grooming (bath/ hair brushing) *Pet care for various other animals (fish, birds, etc.) *Mail service (bringing in mail/packages and securing it in your home while you're away) *Pet waste cleanup of your entire yard *Pet Nanny (staying in your home during the day with your fur baby for a minimum of 2 hours without leaving the premises. This is a cost-effective choice if an overnight stay is not needed.) Please message me for details and rates. *House sitting rates are contingent on the client allowing a leave for up to 4 hours at a time in order to provide remarkable service to other fur babies. Exceptions can be made. **Typical house sitting service would start in the evening, with an overnight stay without leave, followed by serving breakfast and conducting a morning activity. After completion of morning duties, the sitter may leave for up to 4 hours and return for a mid-day visit. When the visit is finished, the sitter may leave again for up to 4 hours and then return to serve dinner and conduct an evening activity. If service is continuing, the sitter would stay overnight without leave and repeat the sequence, as mentioned above, until the agreed upon time and date for the service to end. Please message me with any questions you might have. I recently relocated to Midlothian from Dallas where I was a pet care provider full time. I currently have an open availability and am able to honor most time requests for pet services. Please message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I will meet with you and your fur children before our first scheduled service. This will help us create trust, establish a routine and get any necessary information for a smooth process during the requested services. (This is just a preference and exceptions can be made). I will follow whatever guidelines and routines are set. Attention to detail is key. Securing entryways leading to outdoors, identifying and correcting any abnormalities such as accidents, providing fresh water and food, if necessary, never leaving a pet unattended during the visit, especially when outside, and communicating an update with pictures during the requested services are my principles that pet parents can rely on. TLC will always be given! That is the best part of my job and why I enjoy being a pet sitter!
Reviews
Michael was very thorough in the way he took care of our pups. He went above and beyond in their care. He also provided great detailed updates at each visit with pictures. Very impressed. Will definitely use him again!
EXCELLENT!! We are so grateful and happy to have met and worked with Michael! He took care of our boys (a cat and a dog) and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying and coming back home to happy animals that received love.
First time using Rover & was very pleased with the experience we received from Michael! He showed great care for not only our Fur Babies but also for the home. He paid close attention to detail with specific instructions and recommendations in the care of our home and fur babies. It was nice to be able to have peace of mind knowing that all was in good hands.
Absolutely the best! He truly has a gift with dogs! By the end of the visits our most skittish Piper was sitting at his feet. Also, our house and yard and dog covers and dog beds, etc. were impeccable! We most highly recommend him without any reservations whatsoever!!!!!

Information Michael E. would like to know about your pet
It is important that I know a few key facts about your fur babies before service can begin. First, I'll need to know any behavioral traits, like aggression or anxiety and what might trigger them, such as being around other animals. I'll need to know of any medical concerns or needs as well as if their Veterinary information is current. Other information needed would be feeding and treats regimen, if the dog is a flight risk, the types of toys or activities they are interested in and lastly, if the pet has a routine timeframe for doing their business or will they not always complete it during our time together?
A typical day
First and foremost, I will follow the instructions of the pet owner and adhere to whatever activities they deem appropriate. I typically walk dogs along the sidewalk in their neighborhood if no park is available nearby with trees to shade from the sun. If a backyard is available, I will asses the dog's interests and play fetch, tag, or other similar high-energy activities. Fresh water will always be available.
