As a pet lover with a deep passion for animal care, I treat every pet I look after as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or even bath time, I pour all my love and energy into making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I’m excited to spend time with your little one, showering them with the care and attention they deserve. I truly believe that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. That’s why I approach every task with the same enthusiasm and dedication I would for my own pets. From getting their favorite treats to ensuring they have plenty of playtime and exercise, I’m here to create a positive and fun experience for your pet, no matter what they enjoy most. Whether it’s a lively walk around the block, a fun game of fetch, or simply cuddling up and relaxing together, I’m always excited to bond with your pet and provide them with companionship and affection. Bath time? No problem! I make sure it’s a gentle, enjoyable experience for your pet, leaving them feeling refreshed and pampered. And when it comes to feeding, I stick to their usual routine and ensure they’re getting the proper nutrition to stay healthy and happy. With my attention to detail, love for animals, and commitment to giving your pets the best care possible, you can trust that they’re in loving hands. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m here to be your pet’s best friend, ensuring they feel cherished and well-cared for every moment they’re with me.
Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know about a pet ahead of time to ensure I can provide the best care possible. Understanding their routine, favorite activities, dietary restrictions, and any special needs helps me tailor my care to each pet. For example, some pets may have medical conditions that require medication or extra attention, while others might need specific playtime or quiet time to feel comfortable. Learning about their temperament, likes, and dislikes also helps me create a stress-free environment, making sure they feel safe and secure. The more I know about their habits and preferences, the better I can ensure they are happy and well-cared-for during my time with them.
A typical day
As a pet sitter, I make sure to engage in a variety of fun activities that match each pet's personality and preferences. For energetic pets, I enjoy playing fetch, tug-of-war, or chase to burn off some energy. I also use treat-dispensing toys or puzzles to challenge their minds and keep them mentally stimulated. If the pet is an outdoor lover, I'll take them for walks or hikes to explore new sights and smells. For those who enjoy learning, I’ll work on reinforcing basic commands or teach fun tricks. For the more laid-back pets, I create cozy spots to relax, offering cuddles and plenty of love and attention. I also ensure cats have opportunities to climb, scratch, or explore with their cat trees and interactive toys. Ultimately, I tailor the activities to what each pet enjoys most, ensuring they have a great time!

Pet care experience
With 10 years of experience in caring for dogs, I’ve developed an unmatched understanding of canine behavior, health, and happiness. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing my life with some truly special dogs, each of whom has shaped my approach to pet care in unique ways. My journey began with my beloved Sparkles Jane, whose sweet and gentle nature taught me the true meaning of loyalty and companionship. She was more than just a pet; she was a friend, a teacher, and a source of endless love. While Sparkles Jane is no longer with me, the lessons I learned from her continue to guide my care for all dogs I encounter. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for Patches, whose playful spirit and affectionate personality brought joy to every moment. Through these years, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and the deep emotional bond that forms between a dog and their caregiver. Now, I’m lucky enough to spend time with my sweet Beau Beau and Chippy, two dogs who continue to hold a special place in my heart. I absolutely love house-sitting for Beau Beau and Chippy, providing them with comfort and companionship whenever I’m back home. Their personalities are a perfect reminder of why I’m so passionate about what I do—every dog is unique, and they all deserve love, attention, and care tailored to their needs. Having lived with dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of building trust and creating a safe, positive environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s providing extra care for a senior dog or engaging in playful activities with a younger dog, I know how to cater to their individual needs with kindness, expertise, and a lot of love. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for dogs and has a decade of hands-on experience, I’d be honored to care for your furry family members. With my background, I promise to provide them with the highest level of attention, care, and companionship they deserve.

Reviews


Michael did a good job overnight sitting with our two large dogs for a weekend at our home. Very nice and was patient with our anxious boy. Will be booking again!
I highly recommend Michael as a pet caregiver!! He treats my two like they are his own!! Not only does he have years of experience caring for his own fur babies, but he also has years of experience caring for other fur babies as well! 10/10 recommend him for all of your pet needs!
Michael is a phenomenal pet caregiver. He has many years of experience caring for his own pets, and being a pet sitter/walker for countless others. He will treat your pet like his own, with love, quality care and fun! 10/10 recommend Michael for all your pet needs!
I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone other than Michael. I have 3 dogs (Frenchie, Frenchton and Morkie) ranging in ages from 2 months to 8 years and I also have a cat. He is very attentive to their needs and makes sure that he gives each one of them the individual attention they deserve. They are all very high energy pets so he makes sure that they have plenty of time to play outside. He is top tier when it comes to pet sitting! Highly recommend!
