Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

Can your dog be around other dogs? Do they like to take long walks? Does your dog have any food allergies? . Are there any behaviors that I should be aware of? Is your dog potty trained? Does your dog use pee pads? Does your dog chew on furniture? Does your dog get separation anxiety? Are there any recent medical issues, stomach sensitivities, or behaviors that require frequent cleanup or supervision? Is your dog spayed or neutered? Dogs in heat must be disclosed prior to booking.

A typical day

Whenever I'm taking care of my furry friends it's imperative that we go for long walks in the park, fun adventures in the woods, and playing catch the ball . I also like bringing them by the water , playing tug of war, and giving them belly rubs no matter who is watching.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for many years, including puppies, medium sized dogs, and large working breeds. I’ve owned dogs myself and understand how important routine, structure, and clear communication are for keeping dogs comfortable and safe. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive with walks, drop in visits, and in home care throughout the week. I’m comfortable with dogs that need longer walks or closer supervision, and I always prioritize safety and reliability. I’m selective about the dogs I take on to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. This helps me provide calm, dependable care while reducing stress for both pets and owners.

We had such an amazing experience with Michael as our pet sitter! From the very beginning, he was incredibly thoughtful and caring, and it truly felt like Peppa was being cared for in the comfort of her own home. He followed all of our instructions perfectly—from her diet to her specific walking schedule—and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond, doing even more than we asked to make sure Peppa was happy and well taken care of. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Michael made that decision effortless. He is by far the best sitter we’ve had for Peppa, and we will absolutely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Michael is nothing short of AMAZING with Prince YoYo. He is in constant contact multiple times a day with messages and pictures. And will always double check about treats/snacks for my dog with his dietary issues. I have no worries when leaving my fur baby with him. Neither should you!
