Safety, trust & environment

I love to play with the dogs I watch over. I attune my energy to theirs so they feel comfortable and not overwhelmed. I ensure plenty of potty breaks and remain diligent about any specific feeding plans or medication schedules. The pet is always the priority, I am just grateful to be there.

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special dietary needs or medications that must be administered. I prefer to know what kind of routine I should be replicating and what the dogs expect in terms of potty breaks and treats.

A typical day

We will play games, get some exercise, keep them engaged and happy. I'll try and get my share of cuddles if they're feeling it. My job is to distract the pets from missing you too much.

Michael was excellent! Great communicator, provided first-rate care, and left my home in perfect condition. I will absolutely use him again in the future.

Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog Millie and our home for 9 days. He was communicative and sent daily pictures. It was clear from meeting him that he puts great care and intention into his pet sitting jobs. He also left the house super clean. We will definitely have Michael back for any future needs!

Michael was absolutely amazing with my hot spot prone Golden Retriever Tango and his sister, my little Shorkie Foxy! We were out of the country for our honeymoon and Ilthere were several days I wasn't able to get family and friends to assist in watching my two doggos, hence Michael coming in and saving the day(s)! He was extremely responsive, providing pictures daily along with updates, and really helped to put my wife and I's minds at ease while we were away. I left some pretty specific instructions regarding my golden given that he'd recently opened a couple fresh hot spots on his legs prior to us leaving, and Michael was excellent in caring for and making sure that my golden was comfortable but guarded from any further self harm. The house was left clean and in order, and I could not be more pleased with our experience. Michael, THANK YOU so much for your time, your care, and the love you provided to our two dogs while we were away. It genuinely means the world to my wife and I and allowed us the peace of mind we had hoped for. If and when we end up on vacation again, we will most certainly be checking in with you to assist in caring for Tango and Foxy again!
