About Michael G.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My approach to caring for pets is all about meeting their individual needs and creating a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, I ensure they have plenty of space, attention, and enrichment—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet spot to relax. I stick to their usual routines, like feeding schedules and any special care they need. When I’m in a client’s home, I take extra care to respect their space and follow their instructions closely. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and happy, whether that means engaging with them or just being a calming presence.
Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet
I have a detailed form to collect all of your pet's information. If you choose to hire me as your sitter, I kindly request that it be completed during our initial meet-and-greet.
A typical day
I love keeping pets engaged and happy! Depending on their needs and preferences, I can take them on fun walks, play their favorite games like fetch or tug-of-war, or simply spend quality time giving belly rubs and cuddles. For more active pets, I enjoy running and exploring the outdoors, and for the more laid-back ones, we can relax together with gentle attention and care. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved and has a great time while in my care!

Pet care experience
🐾 Hi, I’m Mike! With 10+ years of experience caring for pets, I’m here to give your furry friends all the love they deserve. 🐕🦺 From energetic Aussies to majestic Huskies—and even my uncle's pack of 13 greyhounds—I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes. 🏡 I have a large fenced yard, 2 kids (ages 6 & 3) who love animals, and a house full of critters: 2 cats, 2 ferrets, and 20 fish! 🎾 I enjoy running and outdoor playtime with dogs and always ensure your pet feels at home. Down-to-earth, punctual, and communicative—reach out with any questions! 🐾✨

Reviews
Michael is reliable and caring with my two large dogs. He goes out of his way to accommodate their peculiar habits, and is an excellent communicator.
Michael has been fantastic! He was so kind as I messed up my bookings (a few times) when I started needing a dog walker more frequently due to job changes! He is our regular:) Puppies are safe and happy!
I would highly recommend Michael to anyone! Super professional and always keeping me up to date.
Because of the meet and greet that Michael did before first walk, our dog, Joy, was eager to leave on a walk with him on the booked walk. Returned happy and rested well after the walk. Joy and owners very happy with Michael
