Highlights
Pet care experience
Love borrowing people’s pets!
I grew up with dogs and cats since I was born. I can’t have pets where I live so I enjoy taking care of others when the opportunity arises. Since 2017 I've been watching friends’, coworkers’, and neighbors’ pets in Gardiner. My lifetime of growing up with dogs and cats has provided the necessary skills to provide a safe, fun setting to watch others' pets. And let's be honest, they're so much more than "just a dog" or "just a cat." Pets are family and friends.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to show up to the client’s house at least once—sometimes more—before I begin petsitting. This allows the pet to be more comfortable with me and it allows me to learn their routine and the procedures to follow to ensure the best experience for the pet.
Ratings and reviews
Very kind, very professional. His response time was excellent. Highly recommend him.
We were staying in Gardiner and booked an all day tour and needed someone to watch our dog. Unfortunately the tour was canceled, but we are giving Michael 5 stars because his communication leading up to the day and managing logistics was excellent. We felt comfortable with him before even meeting him.
Michael was wonderful with our very anxious German shepherd. He stayed with her all day while we were in Yellowstone, which was a huge help! He is very communicative, responsible, and really nice. I highly recommend him, and if we come back to gardiner with our dog, we will certainly use him again!
Mike was the perfect match for our 4 month old puppy. He took her into town for walks since our campground didn't have much "green space". Tess was super happy when we returned home each day. I'm sure she'll be wanting us to leave her "alone" again soon.
Very personable and loved Charley! Timely and took him around town.
Michael is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! He’s incredibly attentive—not just to our dog’s needs, but to ours as well. He takes a genuine interest in our dog’s well-being; it’s clear he truly cares, and we love that he actually looks forward to spending time with our pup. Michael is also a great communicator, always follows our directions carefully, and gives us frequent updates on how things are going. It means so much to have peace of mind when we go away and to trust that our dog is in very good hands.

- The more information I can gather about your pets, the better I can make the experience not only for them, but for you as well. My job is to make sure the pets I watch are as content as possible and that the owner can have the peace of mind knowing that they are receiving the best possible care.
