I provide house sitting and drop-in services in my clients’ homes with the utmost care and attention. I am very detailed and thorough, making sure all locks are secured, alarms are set, and windows are properly closed and latched. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, and medication as needed, ensuring your pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
Home
Information Michael H. would like to know about your pet
it is important to have an idea about your pets routines and schedules. I am a big believer in keeping pets on their usual routine that they have when you are home. I have found this lowers anxiety and improves the lives of pets I care for.
A typical day
I enjoy taking my dog and friends dogs to the local dog parks for them to run around and play with the other animals in the neighborhood, and Washington Square Park is our all-time fav:) With the cats I have had over the years I have enjoyed playing games that involve physical activity like chasing cat toys.

Pet care experience
I’ve been looking after pets since I was in elementary school, growing up with a collection of dogs and cats. I started helping neighbors and family with walks, feedings, and playtime while traveling. I also have a 12-year-old Frenchie who somehow still looks like a 2-year-old, so I know how to care for puppies and senior dogs alike. Since my Frenchie has been through multiple major surgeries including rhinoplasty, ALC, and tumor removal, I’m experienced in giving special care to pets who are sick or have unique needs. I’m confident with medications, quirky routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and just a little spoiled while you’re away. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or a couch snuggle marathon, I'll make sure your pet gets exactly what they need and probably a few extra belly rubs for good measure.
Reviews
Michael took such took such amazing care of my dog during his boarding stay. I loved getting all of the adorable photo updates and seeing how happy + comfortable my dog was which gave me so much peace of mind. Safe to say we definitely found our go-to home away from home for him and will absolutely book with Michael again! :)
Michael was hugely helpful accommodating our need to travel abroad for a close family member funeral on very short notice. He went out of his way to help our now very senior dog Charlie have a comfortable home away from home during our absence. Michael provided us updates on Charlie every day, and was always very quick to respond to any inquiries. His upbeat approach and understanding of senior dogs’ needs were particularly appreciated by us.
Thank you Michael!
Very responsive and sweet with our Valentina!
