I work remotely from home, so there will be few and far between instances when your pet does not have at least one eye on it! I am very at ease around pets and sure could use the company around the house while I tend to my work and chores. Hey, maybe Fido would like to help me with my excel spreadsheets!

Safety, trust & environment

Ensuring your pet’s safety and happiness is my highest priority. While your pet is in my care, they will receive the same love and standard of care that I would give my own. I allow pets to roam free range in my secure, spacious, and tidy two-bedroom townhouse in Beverly Hills. I aim to replicate their typical routine as closely as possible. I live on a quiet and safe, tree-lined residential street in Beverly Hills, which is perfect for walks.

Information Michael J. would like to know about your pet

I want to design this experience to maximize your pet’s comfort, enjoyment, and health. Let me know your pet’s typical routine and feeding schedule, and if your dog has any special needs, and I am sure that I will be able to accommodate just about any circumstance!

A typical day

I love to go on long walks and go to the park to get some fun in the sun! We’ll play games, check out some new smells, and go on walks around the neighborhood - perhaps even window shopping together on Rodeo Drive!

Pet care experience

I was born into a house that had dogs in it before it had human children! As the oldest of 5, my family of 7 had 3 dogs and 1 cat! And over the years, I have had 5 dogs - from golden and Labrador retrievers to chihuahuas and shih tzus! Up until college, not a day went by that I was not caring for my pets; now that I have moved to Beverly Hills from NYC, I finally have the space in my apartment to give my love to pets again. Maybe one day I’ll get a furry little buddy of my own, but until then rest assured when you leave your fur baby with me!

Michael (& Meghan!) are incredible. They were excellent with our dog Brooklyn, who warmed up to them both quickly. They were extremely communicative, and sent regular photo updates which clearly showed how comfortable and relaxed Brooklyn was with them and in their home. Brooklyn has some reactivity issues so I am always anxious to leave her, but never once worried about her while she was in Michael's & Meghan's care. It was clear they were competent, responsible, and cared for her as I would. Would not hesitate to leave Brooklyn with them again!

Henry had an absolute blast with Michael for the weekend! We know overnight stays can be stressful for Henry, but he was so chill and happy during his stay and after his stay. We loved all of the updates and knew he so safe and well cared for. 10/10 recommend!

He asked excellent detail-oriented questions during a meet & greet. Good communication throughout including pictures and consistent updates. We felt like he was competent and was confident he would take good care. Genuinely seemed to enjoy our dog and showed him the same love and care we do!❤️🐶
