Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend
I’ve had a dog pretty much my whole life, so I’m very used to taking care of them and being around them every day. I also spend a lot of time around my girlfriend’s cat and help take care of her, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love animals and I’m someone you can trust to make sure your pet is well taken care of and gets plenty of attention while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll follow whatever routine you already have for your pet so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m active and in good shape, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks or give them as much exercise as they’re used to. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, and whatever else is part of their normal routine. I’m also completely comfortable sleeping with your pets if that’s what they’re used to, or giving them their own space so it’s really whatever you and your pet are most comfortable with. I’m happy to send pictures and updates too so you know they’re doing well.
Ratings and reviews
I have three male dogs. A toy poodle (9 years old), yorkie (9 years old) and yorkie poo ( 2 year old). I have used Michael many times to babysit for our three boys. He is excellent with all of them. He plays so well with all of them, and knows how to handle each of them based on their age. We trust Michael to watch them when we are away on vacation and while at work for the day. He is extremely smart, honest and trustworthy. I would recommend him to watch any pet.
Michael is the caring owner of an 80 lb mixed breed rescue dog from North Shore Animal League and he is a very responsible dog handler. Very trustworthy. Loves dogs (and cats).
Michael is such an animal lover, he has taken care of my cat multiple times and I've never had a problem. He has grown up with family animals as well, having previously had a cat and bunny, and currently has a dog they rescued from a shelter. Very considerate and loving towards the animals, I highly recommend!
My son Michael has always had a natural connection with animals. Everywhere we go, he stops to give some love to all the animals he comes in contact with. He's caring, attentive, and patient, and animals seem to trust him immediately. He has his own dog, Kola, who is older and requires some extra attention, and he takes wonderful care of him. He also loves playing with dogs and cats. Michael is a kind, responsible, and trustworthy person who would treat every pet as if they were his own. He's professional, attentive, and dependable.

Schedule
I’m a commuter engineering student at Stony Brook, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of my week at home. Most days I’m only on campus for a few hours at a time, and I’m free all day on Saturdays. I do have an occasional longer class day, but even then I’m able to plan around your pet’s schedule. A lot of my schoolwork is done on my laptop, so when I’m pet sitting I’m happy to study and do my work from your home, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I also usually go to a local gym for about an hour and a half in the evening, but otherwise I’m around and can be pretty flexible.
