Michael can care for
Availability
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.

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.
Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet
Diet and feeding schedule: Any special food, treats, or allergies. Daily routine: What they’re used to (walk times, naps, playtime). Personality and behavior: Are they shy, playful, anxious, or energetic? Medical needs: Medications, past injuries, or anything to watch for. Favorite toys and activities: What makes them happiest. Rules and training: Things like "no furniture" or specific commands they know. Emergency contacts: Their vet’s info and what to do if something unusual happens.
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch would start with giving them lots of attention and making sure they are fed and happy. I would take dogs on nice walks, play fetch, or even explore a park if they like adventures. For cats, I’d spend time playing with toys, setting up fun games like chasing a feather wand, or just chilling with them if they prefer cuddles. If a pet likes learning, I might even teach them a new trick for treats! The main goal is to keep them active, entertained, and feeling loved while their owners are away.

Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
Michael is fantastic! We are so happy with the care he gave Luna. Very good communication as well!
Michael always takes great care of our animals, he goes above and beyond!
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!
