Highlights
Pet care experience
They'll be loved while you're gone!
About me: I'm a cuddler who has had at least one dog of my own for the last 30 consecutive years. I currently have a dog & cats that are used to guests, but find it best to meet before booking our first stay to see how comfortable the animals all are with each other. Experience: I bring years of positive reviews back to Milwaukee from my years on Rover in San Francisco and am experienced with dogs ranging from unweaned puppies to hospice care (including oral/applied medications, subcutaneous fluids and more). My home: I have plenty of space for dogs to play inside, a modest yard and Dineen Park within walking distance.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michael is the dog whisperer! He is absolutely wonderful with our dog. I can’t say enough good things. I always feel comfortable when we leave her. I never had that level of confidence leaving her with a kennel. Thank you Michael.
MJ took great care of our pups and was super communicative!
Our dogs are always super happy with MJ — would definitely recommend!
Michael is a wonderful dog sitter. Lots of pictures and very quick to communicate.
Thank u for taking care of Bosley, he came home a happy camper 😊
Booked at the last minute and Michael was very flexible and welcoming. Provided updates frequently and was very patient with our dog.

Pets
A typical day
One place we'll take our walks is Dineen Park, among the best parks in the City. It offers the opportunity for your dog to be sociable with others or to walk in areas where we can be alone depending on your dog's needs. Walks are $10 for half an hour and $15 for a full hour, but the former is included when boarding. Pets I sit can sleep on anything you bring, our recliner, couch or bed if practical so long as they're allowed such access at home Someone will be with your furbaby all of his or her entire stay, including play time as needed.

- I need to know how your dogs (or other animals) interact with my cats and dogs. As each animal can interact differently with each other animal, I prefer to have your dog over for a visit before we book their stay. It will help my preparation and thus care of your dog to know his or her age and any health issues or limitations before taking your child in. I am strong enough to handle even rambunctious dogs and to carry small dogs.
