Pet care experience

My name is Michael Martabano and I am an experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I have been working with animals my whole life, and have a wide range of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I am passionate about providing high-quality care for pets, and am dedicated to ensuring that each animal in my care receives the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I understand the importance of maintaining a regular routine for pets, and am happy to follow any specific instructions provided by pet owners to ensure that their animals are well-cared for. In addition to pet sitting, I also have experience working in animal shelters and veterinary clinics, which has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs of different types of animals. I am comfortable administering medication, and am trained in basic animal first aid. I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy, and will always put the safety and well-being of the animals in my care first. I am available to provide pet sitting services on a regular basis or on a one-time basis. I can provide references upon request. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved animals.

Our pup had the best stay with Michael! Michael was very professional and his communication was on point which I really appreciated. We will definitely be using him again. Thank you Michael!

Michael did an incredible job watching our pup for our last-minute week away. From asking all the right questions beforehand to the communication and photos while we were gone, we felt very assured our dog was in great care for her needs. She got lots of awesome walks, runs, and cuddle time to boot! Would absolutely book again in the future.

I was so grateful that Michael accepted our last minute booking. He was very communicative and professional. Based on the pictures he sent, 3mo mini goldendoodle had a great time with him!

Michael is enthusiastic about taking care of pets. Before confirming our service request to have drop-in visits, Michael offered to come meet our kittens. I had read his reviews before requesting and noticed that most, if not all, were for dogs, however Michael was just as excited to see our kittens as he was our dog. He was energetic and playful with my dog while gentle with the kittens. We were very concerned leaving our kittens for the first time, but Michael was able to feed them during requested times and with specific amounts. We were glad to see all pets happy and fed when we returned.
