Reliable Animal Care Professional

Pet care experience

I have taken care of cats/dogs/tortoises ever since I was 5. We have had cats/dogs with diabetes, asthma, and digestive issues so I have no problems administering any kind of medicines from injections to inhalers or cleaning up unfortunate messes. In addition, I have also volunteered in multiple humane societies from Illinois to California,

My dog is my life and I can tell that Michael protected him with his own. My Teddy “Theodore” is a rescue and oh so fragile, and he rarely takes to strangers. Theodore has never been the same after Michael took care of him, and seeing him happy puts such a smile on my face. Michael is truly gifted in taking care of dogs and everyone should trust their dog in his tender loving care.

Michael is very caring and conscientious with our animals. He knows the right questions to ask about animal care. Our dog listens to him better than whe listens to my husband and I. We have an asthmatic cat so Michael has to administer her inhaler; another cat is diabetic and Michael gives him insulin shots regularly. We are able to go out of town and enjoy ourselves knowing that our pets are being well-cared for.

Michael took care of my cat several times, usually over the span of a week. He would send me daily photo updates and took time to play with her rather than just stopping by, feeding her, and then leaving. I felt very assured that she was in great care while I was gone!

Having Michael take care of my cat was an absolute blessing! His attention to detail, affection, and dedication to ensuring my cat's comfort and happiness were truly commendable. I highly recommend his pet-sitting services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring caregiver for their beloved pets.

Safety, trust & environment

It all depends on the wishes of the client. They know their animal best and I will follow instructions to a T while providing a comfortable, safe environment for the animal.

Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing to know is how they feel about strangers. I have no issues giving animals their space and can read it relatively easily. Still, the safer the better for me and your pet.

A typical day

I love to play with the cats or the dogs. With cats my favorites are the classic string, "hide and seek", or with younger cats "tag". I love to walk dogs to spend some time outside as well!
