Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive,Trustworthy,Reliable
I have extensive hands-on experience, caring for dogs of all ages sizes and temperaments with over six dogs of my own throughout my adult life. These breeds include chowchow, pit-bull, golden-doodles, pugs, and dobermans so I’m comfortable handling everything from high energy dogs to more independent or strong willed personalities. I currently have a golden doodle so I’m very familiar with daily routine routines exercise needs, and providing consistent structure and attention. I also specialize in caring for senior dogs, including administrative medication and offering the extra patience, gentleness, intent if they require it. I understand how important it is to keep pets, comfortable and stress-free, especially when their owners are away. My approach is to make your dog feel as at home as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine whether that’s feeding schedules walks, playtime or downtime. I pay close attention to each dog personality and need so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and plenty of updates pictures videos, etc. so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
This is heavily based off of the pet and or the clients needs for caring for pets in my home or clients home. My priorities always gonna make sure that pets feel safe and comfortable and their environment, and that they feel safe. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs so taking the time to learn their schedule, habits preferences, and our medication’s and every little detail will help help him feel at ease. My goal is to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, while providing plain affection, attention, and supervision, just as my own dog in my home. I am mindful of every pet comfort level and temperament, and the surroundings, knowing that I am a guest in their home. For instance, my golden doodle has separation anxiety, and if I am not home, I know that keeping the TV on classical music on a low volume and keeping the curtains closed while he is in his large kennel, keeps him at ease from his anxiety. These are the types of steps and information that is required in good dog sitting and or care.
Ratings and reviews
Michael has been an incredible dog sitter for my Goldendoodle Applejax. From the moment Jax sees him, he's excited and comfortable, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. He’s dependable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. He makes sure Applejax gets plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and affection while keeping me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear he treats him like he's his own, and I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for doodle! I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I primarily work from home and run my own business, and attend school online part-time, which gives me a high level of flexibility and availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walk’s playtime and companionship without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m also able to accommodate a variety of needs, including early mornings evenings, weekends even last minute or Emergency pet care when needed. Whether your dog thrives or structure routine or needs more attention, I’m able to adapt and be fully present.
