Specializes in exotic pet care

Pet care experience

I love animals and I’m happy to help with all of your pet needs! I’ve been around dogs and cats ever since I could walk and I’ve cared for all sorts of animals (i.e., dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) since I was 12 for friends and close family. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with, clean, and help administer medication (i.e., topical, injections, and oral) to their pets. I also have experience caring for older animals who may need extra attention and support. I have a lot of experience in caring for cats since I have two of my own! I also want to highlight that I have great experience with taking care of small and exotic pets, including birds, reptiles and amphibians, and small mammals. I have helped to feed, clean, handle, monitor and adjust temperatures for thermoregulation, and administer medication these animals. I have separate space in my home to help board small pets and reptiles if needed. I currently own two snakes of my own! I’m more than happy to assist you in caring for your pet in or outside of your home! I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you and your pets before being scheduled to care for them 🙂

Michael watched our 10 week old puppy for a few hours and did an excellent job!

Michael was so attentive to our two cats while we were gone for the holidays! I really appreciated how communicative he was, sending plenty of photos and detailed updates while we were gone. It was our first time using a service like this and we were admittedly nervous! But Michael quickly made us feel like our kitties were in good hands and we were able to relax. We will definitely be working with him again in the future! 👏🏼

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to connect with your pet by spending time with them in their environment and giving them time and space to get used to me. I like to know how you care for them so that I can replicate that the best I can! I am currently only offering boarding to small and exotic pets in my home. I have a separate space that I can set up to accommodate all of their needs.

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know everything you possibly can about your pet ahead of time. Giving your pet the proper care is my top priority so informing me of any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of will be paramount.

A typical day

I love to play with your pets and give them my utmost attention when they’re in my care. During our time, I stay attuned to their needs and do everything I can to address them. Whether it’s playtime, exploring a new park, or loving pets and cuddles, I will meet your pet where they’re at.

I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule during the day can be limited but I am flexible and fully available on most weekends and holidays. More than willing to take a study break or two to help you care for your pet.
