Highlights
Pet care experience
One-on-one care for your dog
I have been around dogs for virtually my entire life. I love them, and they love me. I am caring and respectful of the dogs, and I understand their needs and desires. I only take one dog at a time (unless they already live together), so when your dog spends time with me, they will be sure to get all the attention and exercise they need, and they will soon look forward to our further adventures together. As well, I am always happy to refer regularly with you to keep you up to date with what your dogs and I are doing, whether that's going for walks in the park, playing games, or just relaxing. I am prompt and reliable, as well as approachable and professional. I look forward to hearing from you.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ella and Ringo had another wonderful two and a half week stay with Michael! They both absolutely adore him and it’s so obvious that they feel comfortable and enjoy their time with him too. Michael gives us great updates and such peace of mind knowing they are both in amazing hands and we are so grateful to have found him! We will definitely be booking with Michael again!
Michael took excellent care of our dog. We had some concerns leaving her with a sitter given her age and some underlying health issues, but we receive constant updates and she came home happy and healthy. We will definitely book with Michael again in the future!
Michael has been so professional from our meet and greet to Leo's first stay. He kindly took into account the information we provided about Leo and ensured his safety. We received updates and photos and most importantly Leo came home happy. We are looking forward to continue fostering a dog-sitting relationship with Michael!
Michael was very caring and communicative with Apollo while I was away. I feel confident in leaving Apollo with Michael again.
It's our third time leaving our Pepper with Michael. He's just the best. I always book way in advance to make sure he's not already booked because it's such a relief for us to know she's in good hands. I think she trusts him now like one of us. Thank you, Michael!
Michael made us feel so comfortable leaving Gojo in his care. You can tell he has great intuition and can read dog’s body language. he made me feel so assured with he's frequent updates and gave us some great feedback afterwards. We would love to have Gojo stay with him again!

Schedule
I work from home, apart from going out to walk other dogs, so I am almost always available for your dog's needs, and I won't need to leave your dog for more than a couple hours at a time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I only board one dog at a time (unless the dogs already live together), so your dog will always get one-on-one attention, and you don't need to worry about conflicts with other dogs.
A typical day
I will take your dog for at least 3 walks a day when they're staying with me, though I can usually fit in a fourth. At home, we might snuggle together to watch tv or play tug of war with toys. I will adjust the length of walks and play time to fit your dog's energy levels.
