Pet care experience

Queer Former Teacher-Uncle of Pets

Dogs, cats, snakes, horses, goats, pigs, chickens! You name it. My family took care of and owned a plethora of pets and raised us kids on showing kindness and care to all animals. Since I was a small child, I lead with love and quality time for all pets! They deserve to feel the love we give to others <3

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in having pets safe and comfortable both inside and outside of the home. Harness yes and free roam time as well to let loose. I will always make sure to check and read the environment first before taking next steps with safety in mind. I also believe in strong communication with owners and other walkers to explain personalities and get to know the pet on a real level.

Michael was a great caregiver for my older pit-mix! I would definitely recommend him for walks and longer stays with your pet. He was very communicative, caring and trust-worthy.

Gex loves all the pets! Sweetest and most caring human being your beloved pet will ever meet! My cat Pinto greets him all the time with the biggest yelps, cuddles & purrs. Deaf cat whisperer certified! He will be very attentive and go above and beyond for your fur baby 🐾

Michael took great care of our dog Pickle for a weekend trip last winter. He was great at giving updates and staying in communication with us the entire time. He even introduced Pickle to a few hikes in the area that we take him on regularly now! Will definitely be asking for his help the next time we are in town.

Michael has done a great job taking care of my family's cats, as well as my young turtle and 5 fish. He did a great job feeding our pets and checking in consistently with us while my family was out of town. I appreciate that he got to know our cat's personalities and preferences. While coming over for meals and to scoop their box, he also spends time hanging around with them for cuddles and play time. I am so grateful for his calmness and patience with our shy kitties. I would absolutely work with Michael again.

I trust Michael completely with my two dogs, my white Siberian Husky and my chocolate Lab. They both have very different personalities and needs, and Michael is so patient, loving, and attentive with both of them. I always feel comfortable knowing they’re with him because I know they’re being cared for, loved on, and treated like his own. He’s dependable, genuinely great with animals, and someone I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person for their pets.

I’ve known Michael for a while, and I can honestly say he is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. He has a natural way with animals and is incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. I would have no hesitation trusting Michael with my own pets because I know he would treat them like they were his own. He is dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Michael caring for their furry family members. I highly recommend him!
