Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend

I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m patient and gentle, and I know how to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it's giving meds, keeping up with energetic walks, or offering lots of cuddles, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with crate training and basic commands, and I always treat pets like family. I’m reliable and communicative, and I truly love what I do!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly goldendoodles of my own (Henry and Milo), so I’m very used to providing loving, attentive care every day. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel secure and happy. I treat every animal like part of the family and always follow the routine that works best for them.

Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!

Michael is an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker! He's incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive to all my pets' needs. His experience with both cats and dogs is evident in how comfortable they feel with him - they absolutely adore him! What really sets Michael apart is his outstanding communication and follow-up. He keeps me updated and never leaves me wondering how things are going. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a kind, experienced pet care provider who will treat your furry family members with the love and attention they deserve!

Schedule

I’m a student at UD with online classes this summer, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I’ll be available all summer for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight stays. Since my classes are remote, I can easily plan my day around your pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they deserve.
