Pet care experience
Pawfect Walks & Snuggles
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.

Ratings and reviews
Michael was great!
Michael and his wife have taken care of Valentina twice now and they have been great! They’re super responsive and keep you updated with the best pics of your pet having a blast at theirs.
Michael watched my almost 11 year old pup for a few days and he was great! He was very accommodating with adding an extra day to my already booked stay for her. As well, as being understanding when my flight was slightly delayed. Stella seemed to have a great time with her new friends!
Michael did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were away for an extended period of time! He sent regular pics and made sure our usual routine was stuck to! Would definitely rebook with him! 10/10
Archie was well-cared for and looked happy in all her photos. Michael was easy to work with, responsive, and clearly cares for the fur babies he’s watching.
Michael was great with our dog and took great care of her during her stay. He sent regular updates throughout, which gave us peace of mind, especially as first-time Rover users. He was also accommodating when we ran behind for pickup. We were very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Michael

I work remotely, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
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.
Pets
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.
