Natural caregiver and energetic!

Pet care experience

Caring for others comes natural to me, so I make sure to provide the best care for your do. Coming from a childhood surrounded by animals and owning two dogs myself, I understand the varying needs and necessities for every dog to make sure he or she is comfortable and given all the love they deserve whether it be from walks, house visits or overnight stays. Being a pet owner, I empathize with the worries of leaving your pet alone. That's why I strive to make sure you and your dog feel confident in my care by understanding any house rules, maintaining obedience and understanding limits like diet, activities, etc. I go beyond the sheer joy of being with a dog and focus on the overall safety and comfort of your furry friend!

Michael did an amazing job watching my dog. He provided frequent updates and truly catered to my dog’s needs! I will be using Michael whenever I need a sitter for my pup.

Michael is terrific! Super nice guy and very conscious and respectful of our needs and our Chocolate Lab’s needs. As soon as you meet Michael, you feel an instant connection and a level of trust. Although we’ve only utilized his services as a “dog walker”, for those days we are at work, but we would definitely have Michael sit for Rodie for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation.

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dogs habits including commands, what they do for play time, if there are diet restrictions and if there are things that I shouldn't do to avoid making your dog feel uncomfortable. I enjoy all breeds and sizes, and can accommodate accordingly. To note, I do come from a large dog home, so I'm very comfortable with larger breeds.

A typical day

During a stay, I'll talk your dog on walks in a plethora of areas including your own neighborhood, local parks and/or the nearest dog park. I'll also engage with them like playing fetch, tug-o-war or any other game the dog likes to play. My sole focus is to help the dog enjoy themselves as much as possible while their family is away.
