Friendly, attentive, reliable human

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have taken care of friends’ and neighbors’ pets since I was 12. I‘ve volunteered at the SPCA total 6 full years over the course of my high school, college, and professional life. I’ve also fostered pets as a working professional. I am easy-going, friendly, caring, and attentive to each animal based on their emotional, physical, and social needs. Am careful and attentive-to-detail of their diet, physical activity, and hygiene including brushing, bathing, and paw care after walks.

Michael is fantastic & attentive to pets. Was so important to me to feel my pets were comfortable with their sitter. Loved getting photos to know they are content & relaxed.

Michael was an exceptional sitter for our dog Bella. He was communicative, thoughtful and gave Bella everything she needed during his stay. Would highly recommend!

Michael was great for his second stay with Jax! Thanks so much Michael for giving us peace of mind when we need care for Jax.

Michael took great care of Jax while we were out of town. He provided regular updates with photos and videos so we didn’t have to worry about Jax being well taken care of. Michael is responsible, trustworthy and great with animals. I highly recommend Michael

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep a regular schedule as far as feeding, exercise, walks, and bathroom breaks to ensure any pet the security of a stable lifestyle and peace of mind from unnecessary anxiety caused by abrupt changes. Depending on the pet’s personality, I’ll match and provide them with the appropriate physical affection and social attention while keeping any emotional, physical, and spatial boundaries. I’ll also respect the pet owner’s home by keeping it clean, organized, and abiding by any house rules.

Information Michael J. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know the dog’s daily schedule including feeding, physical activity, bathroom breaks, etc. The less changes a dog experiences during care, the easier it is for both the dog and human. Any additional information specific to the dog such as any medications, quirks, allergies, triggers, etc. also provide more thorough context in providing personalized care without stress or complications.

A typical day

I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, as well as physical and social needs. However, in all cases, I strive to ensure that they feel safe, fed, and appreciated whether it is through walks or playing games such as fetch or receiving snacks or reassuring tummy scratches.

I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility to walk, care, play with, and pet-sit on an extended basis. While I’m the proud owner of two wonderful dogs, they don’t live with me because their size makes my apt an unsuitable space for them. I’d like to dedicate my energy and heart for them to other animals in the meantime.
