Cat dad and dog uncle to many!

I recently moved back to the Twin Cities from Melbourne and am looking for a way to connect to the community through animals. I have experience sitting pets as small as Chihuahuas to as large as a Newfoundlands. I have pretty flexible hours and access to many great local parks!

Michael was great. He took such good care of Stella and left everything in such great shape on our return. I will definitely ask for Michael again in the future!

Michael was so responsive and caring for our dog, took care of everything perfectly and can’t recommend him highly enough. We found our go-to dog person/house sitter 🐕

Michael has watched my dog multiple times over the past 10 years, and at this point I’m convinced my dog has been his unofficial trainer for taking care of all types of animals. He clearly trained Michael well, because he’s always calm, capable, and somehow still willing to come back for more. To this day, my dog 90 lbs doodle gets ridiculously excited every time he sees Michael and his tail wags uncontrollably. Michael is my first call whenever I need a helping hand, and I always know my dog is in great hands. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Michael has done an excellent job taking care of our golden doodle, Hank! He is reliable, flexible and and trustworthy. We are very particular about who watches Hank since he's a senior pup. Being able to relax knowing he's in good hands with Michael is priceless. We will continue using Michael because he's simply the best!

Michael walked and checked in on my xl senior Standard Poodle George frequently over the course of a few years. He was reliable and responsible, and George (who never really liked men) was always very comfortable around him. Michael also understood and was incredibly accommodating to my dog’s senior “quirks” which I so appreciated. Highly recommend!
