Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Foster Dad & Animal Lover
I have over 25 years of experience caring for, loving and training various dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My wife and I have 3 rescue dogs and 5 rescue cats, plus we regularly foster puppies and kittens. I know how important it is to ensure your babies are in good hands and safe while you’re away! I’ve worked with dogs and cats of many different ages, breeds, and temperaments over the years and have experience with potty, obedience and leash training, as well as caring for senior animals or administering medication etc. I love every pet as if they were my own!!
Cat care experience
Michael also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I will always make sure your pet is secured in a fenced yard or on a leash. I don’t even like to leave pets unattended in the yard without keeping an eye on them. In the house it is important that boundaries are adhered to if there are certain areas off limits, and crate trained dogs are secured in their crate when left at home.
Ratings and reviews
My pups loved Micheal! Kept me informed while I was away & even made it through a power outage.
Very nice and accommodating. My dog seemed to love him and she was very happy after her walk with him :) I'll for sure hire him again!
Michael is so great with Leo! Leo loves his walks and is always so happy to see him! 5 stars!
Michael loves animals and is always willing to take in and foster animals in need. He is extremely competent and knowledgeable in making sure the needs of dogs and cats are fulfilled and that they are given a loving environment. He has dogs and cats of his own, and he still does not hesitate to help with other animals that are not in a good situation and go the extra mile for them to feel comfortable and loved.
I would 100% recommend Michael to watch/ walk our pets!! I own a rescue and Michael and his wife have been avid Foster’s for us and every single dog or cat that they bring into their loving home ends up absolutely spoiled for the entire duration of their stay! Our pets never want to leave!! Their personal pets are all the most friendly animals I’ve ever seen and they are spoiled too haha. His patience around scared animals, the way he’s able to bond with each one on their level and make all the dogs absolutely love him is magical! His calming nature , the love he has for these animals and the time he invests into their wellbeing is admirable. He’s an amazing person and anyone would be absolutely lucky to have him caring for their beloved pets!! Every animal gets so attached to him! He’s extraordinarily patient , yet playful with our confident pups! On time , and very dependable. I can’t recommend him enough!
Michael will make sure he treats your pets as well as his own! He has many years of experience with large dogs as well as fostering smaller dogs and lots and lots of puppy experience. He also loves cats! He is very easy going and will make sure to send lots of updates while caring for your babies!
