Pet care experience
Dogs are full of energy (just like me). They’re loyal, loving, and almost always in a good mood! I grew up with dogs, and have had dogs for most of my life. I'm currently the proud guardian of a very friendly, 100+ lbs albino Doberman puppy, whose favourite activities are getting pets from absolutely everyone he can, and playing with all the dogs who'll let him. He loves company, and having other dogs over for daycare or boarding, and he's become a great instructor and pack leader to the dogs that I walk and train. As a university student, I volunteered at the Bath RSPCA home, walking and training shelter dogs twice a week, and I loved it. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for years, and I love it. I figured it was time to go professional. Most of my favorite activities are dog-friendly. I run five to ten kilometers twice a week, and I enjoy long bike rides. I also like walking through the city and visiting the parks, both of which are more fun with a dog! I’m fun, caring, and attentive, and I others consider me to be conscientious. I make sure to follow through 100 percent of the time. I’m excited to turn my lifelong passion for dogs into a job! My schedule is open at the moment, and I intend to make this my full-time profession. I also have experience with cats. I enjoy their unpredictable nature, independence, and curiosity.
Reviews
Michael was great, communicative, and accommodating! Thanks for taking care of our boy, while we were away!
Michael was a great help while I was away! He was prompt, over communicative and always gave Radley a little extra attention compared to other Rover sitters I have used. Would 100% recommend to others and will be keeping him top of mind for all my future trips.
We are a couple who is traveling in America with our dog, Runny, and during our trip, we had used a dog hotel, however, Michael was much much better for our Runny. When we picked Runny, after his week stay at Michael's, he was jumping on Michael and was very happy. During Runny's stay at Michael's house, Michael was sending pic and messages letting us know how Runny feels. We couldn't choose a better sitter for Runny, Michael is so calm, nice and flexible something that makes the difficult act of leaving your "child" much easier. Michael has a lovely dog that Runny was so happy to play with and basically Runny felt at home. We totally recommend Michael!!
Blue has such a great time! Can’t wait for the next stay.

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting your pet I want to know as much about them as possible. Please tell me about their habits, personality quirks, health issues and how much exercise they need. The more I know about your pet and the expectations for the stay, the better I can serve you both.
A typical day
My goal is to give your dog my full attention the entire time she’s under my care. I’ll make sure we take plenty of walks, enjoy some play time, and of course make sure meals (and medications) are delivered on time. If your dog likes to socialize, we’ll spend some quality time in the dog park burning off some energy and making new friends. Some of my favorite places are the dog run at Buena Vista Park, which is just across the street from where I live, and the dog parks in the Panhandle and Duboce. But I’d love to check out new spots as well. And I’ll be sure to send updates and photos about what we’re up to, so you know your pet is in good hands.
