Pet care experience

Your Pets' BFF

I have loved animals all my life. I enjoy to be around them and have experience feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after, and loving and cuddling. I created a dog walking business when I was in the sixth grade. It slowly grew as others saw the love, care, and communication I put into caring for their pets. I want to return to my business in a new way and continue my true passion, love for all animals. I would love to pet sit for your animals whenever needed. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or special requests. I am always open to a discussion.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Michael was an amazing communicator from start to finish and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He treated our cats like his own, giving them so much care, attention, and affection that they quickly warmed up to him (which says a lot!). It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing they were in such great hands. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats made all the difference. We would absolutely trust Michael to care for them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly caring and reliable sitter.

Michael was excellent! He took wonderful care of our house and 2 dogs (a high energy puppy and senior old doggo). We would love to have him back to watch the dogs next time we need to leave town. Cant recommend his services enough. He even left a very nice card and polaroid photos of the dogs in addition to daily text messages and photo updates.

Michael was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates while we were away. The animals all seemed happy and healthy when we returned and the house was in good order.

Michael was great. Easy to communicate with and very friendly. When our flight home was cancelled he offered to stay longer with our dog so she would be taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again!

Mike was absolutely fantastic. He was super attentive to our dog and he sent updates and photos that clearly illustrated how comfortable our dog was. The house was in perfect order when we returned. Thank you so much!

Mike is amazing! My animals love him, when he showed up the AM we left my dog ran and got a toy to play with him. I have a very nervous and skittish cat and each picture I got was of her comfortable and relaxed in her favorite lounge spots. House was also well cared for and clean upon arrival. He is moving out of state but I highly recommend him to anyone in his new home state!
