Pet care experience

Genuine love for all pets!

I have some pretty remarkable skills up my sleeve to take care of your pets. I’ve had pets of my own, throughout my life . I can surely say that all my pets have had a high standard of living and I would love to care for your animals the way I did for my own! Communication is key! I'll keep you in the loop with regular updates on your little ones. Expect adorable photos and videos that will melt your heart and give you peace of mind whenever I find cute moments while spending time with them. I place great emphasis on addressing any allergies or dietary restrictions your dog or cat may have. Please inform me of any known allergies or dietary limitations they may have. It is crucial for me to be aware of any specific food requirements or potential allergens to ensure that I provide appropriate treats and prevent any adverse reactions. Your animal’s health and wellbeing are of utmost importance,

My pup loved staying with Michael and Kevin. They communicated when they needed to and proactively purchased food when the food provided ran out.

Michael was super responsive and sent me great pictures and videos of the cats. Would trust him to watch my little guys again without hesitation.

Michael has been such a caring and attentive dog sitter. He’s very quick to respond to any questions or requests and always such a delight to talk to. He’s taken care of my dog, Gramps, twice this past summer and I expect to hire him again in the very near future.

I have known Michael for a few years now, and he is the greatest pet owner I have ever met! no kidding! His house is a cat paradise and it just tells so much about his love for his cat, Miles. The cat is always happy and well taken care of! His feed of social media is full of Miles too. I mean he’s really just the best! Michael is showing love to other animals the same way, very warm and pure. He’s very responsible and my first choice when I need a care taker.

Very flexible. My partner, Kevin, helps me as well. Between the two of us we have a lot of availability.. I am available for boarding and also happy to be their temporary guardian at their home or while on walks!

Safety, trust & environment

To guarantee a safe and harmonious environment for your dog, please inform me about your dog or cat compatibility with other pets and any potential issues to be aware of during walks on the leash. For instance, let me know if your pet tends to react negatively towards other dogs or displays a tendency to chase. We follow feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, ensuring their nutritional needs are met. Our apartment is pet-proofed, free from hazards, and we take extra precautions to keep them away from any toxic substances.
