Safety, trust & environment

Safety: I always conduct a thorough check of the home environment to remove any potential hazards. This includes securing loose wires, ensuring all gates and doors are properly closed, and keeping harmful substances out of reach. During walks, I use sturdy leashes and harnesses to keep your pet safe and under control. Trust: Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality, preferences, and routines. Regular updates, including photos and messages, are provided to keep you informed and reassured about your pet's well-being. Environment: Whether in my home or yours, I create a comfortable and stimulating environment for your pet. This includes providing cozy resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of playtime. I also maintain a clean and hygienic space to ensure your pet's health and happiness. By focusing on these key areas, I ensure that your pet receives the best possible care, tailored to their individual needs. How does this approach sound to you? 😊

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs often potty breaks and if they need to go outside on a leash or if no leash is required

A typical day

I will take the dogs on long walks, play fetch, and any other activities needed to get your pet the exercise it needs. I will cater to what ever your pet needs.

Pet care experience

With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, including French Bulldogs, American Bulldogs, and Yellow Labs, I bring a deep love and understanding of canine needs. Whether it's a playful walk or a cozy sitting session, your furry friend will be treated like family under my care. Took care of two litters of American bulldog puppies growing up as well.

Michael was absolutely awesome! He took care of our dogs as well as we could have ever asked for. They were so relaxed and happy when we got home, which says everything about the care and attention he gave them. He even went above and beyond by bringing in all of our Amazon packages. We truly appreciated his reliability and thoughtfulness and would highly recommend him!

Michael has a special love for dogs and pets of any kind. He is kind, patient, responsible, and he simply loves animals with all of his heart. No matter who's pet he is hanging out with, he will treat them like his own. Making sure they are safe, getting the love and attention they deserve, and feeling like kings and queens. Whether he is taking them for a stroll or staying overnight, your pets will be in loving and caring hands. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for dependable and truly compassionate care for their furry friends!
