Safety, trust & environment

I am currently staying in a place where I cannot host dogs but I have spent the entirety of my career working in private homes. I am very discreet, responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. It is very easy for me to follow the directions of clients and deliver top tier care for their pets.

Dog whisperer extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

I am a career estate, family, and lifestyle manager. I’ve spent my life working in high net worth homes and one of my core responsibilities has been to care for the dogs of the people I’ve supported. I absolutely love animals and this was one of my favorite aspects of my work. I have also always had dogs of my own. I am currently a couple of weeks into a new move to the west coast and am on a bit of a work sabbatical but would love the opportunity to just be around and care for some dogs. I have worked with dogs from puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’m very active and love to walk. I’ve trained multiple dogs and dogs are extremely responsive to me. You’d be hard pressed to find an individual who has had the experience that what I bring to the table. I am reliable, independent, discreet, empathetic, enthusiastic, and just adore working with and caring for animals. I am not doing this for a job or for financial gain but because I truly just value my time with dogs.

Michael has helped walk and take care of our dogs for years. He is incredibly patient and kind to them. He is also super responsible and communicates well with us. Our dogs adore him and are so excited to see him! I have never had any qualms or regrets leaving them with him or giving him access to our home. He's the best!!!

I can't recommend Michael enough--he has done an absolutely amazing job walking my reactive and anxious pup, Juju, who loves him to pieces! He's super reliable, communicative, and has experience with all kinds of dogs. His love for dogs really shines through, too. My dog is super high maintenance and special needs, and I trust him to handle it all with her. He is an absolute gem.

I have known Michael for many years and can best describe him as an amazing per care provider who truly loves dogs beyond measure. To be a great walker or pet sitter the dogs need to sense your heart is in the right place, they easily distinguish between someone whom cares over those who lacks compassion. Michael, bonds immediately with dogs of all sizes, age, and various breeds, because he has a personality that generates trust and kindness. I can guarantee 100%, that when you meet with Michael, and your dog is introduced to him my words will ring true.
