My meticulous care is number one

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs, and especially senior ones, since the early 1990's. People trust me with their furry ones. Let me help you out.

Michael did an awesome job taking care of our dog, Bandit, for 12 days. Bandit is a 6 year old,,64 pound, lab mix. Michael frequently communicated through texts and pictures to let us know that Bandit felt right at home. Michael followed all our care instructions and gave Bandit a lot of love and tlc. We would highly recommend Michael for your petsitting needs.

Michael was great. Took great care of Cooper. Cooper seemed very happy with Michael who was very willing to play endless games of fetch with Cooper. Would use him again.

We had Spot with Michael again. He is a true dog lover and very knowledgable about dogs. Spot always has a great time and we love having our pup with him, knowing her in very good hands!

Safety, trust & environment

I do have a fenced yard, but it can get somewhat muddy. Still, walking him or her at least two times a day would work better for me. And if I'm staying at the client's home, better yet, particularly if they have a fenced backyard for quick bathroom breaks.

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

How they interact with larger or smaller dogs. If they've had all their vaccinations. Do they have a sensitive stomach (resulting in vomiting and/or diarrhea if they've eaten something that doesn't agree with them)? Does the dog like to ride in the car?

A typical day

There is the dog park off Diamondback Dr. (cross street: Bickerstaff Way) that I'd take them to (and play fetch, also). All dogs in my care have to be fully vaccinated and licensed through the city of Gaithersburg or Montgomery County. If the furry ones would like to do a little hiking, such as Muddy Branch Trail, I'd take them there, too. Or any nearby park.
