About Michael M.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet walking and drop-in visits in your home, so your pets can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. During visits, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, playtime, and care routines. On walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid unsafe conditions or interactions. I do not bring pets to my home — all services are provided where your pet feels safest: in their own home and neighborhood. My priority is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind.
Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible about your pet before we start, so I can give them the best care. Please share any health concerns, medications, special routines, favorite activities, dislikes, or triggers. Let me know how they behave on walks, around other animals, and with new people. The more I know, the more I can make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
A typical day
Walks, playtime, cuddles, and care — tailored to your pet’s personality. Whether it’s exploring the neighborhood, chasing toys, or enjoying quiet companionship, I make sure each visit leaves them happy and loved.

Loving Dog & Cat Care You Can Trust
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 14 — that’s over 20 years of tail wags, purrs, and paw prints in my life! I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with pets of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to wise senior cats. I’m comfortable with every temperament and have even been a “pet nurse” for furry friends who needed extra TLC. I know how deeply you love your pets, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just hanging out together, I’ll make sure your best friend feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Reviews
Mike is a wonderful, responsible, and dependable pet caregiver! We trust him wholeheartedly to care for our two pups. Mike is knowledgeable about pet care and very communicative with the pet parents he works with. One time, my partner and I were out of town, and one of our pups got injured while at the boarding facility and needed immediate medical care. Mike was the first person we called and, without hesitation, he jumped to the rescue! Mike picked up our pup from boarding, took him to the vet, gave us regular updates, and cared for him until we could get home. We were so grateful and felt so at ease knowing our pup was safe and in Mike's care! I would highly recommend Mike to anyone needing a loving and responsible pet caregiver!
Mike has been a reliable pet caregiver for a longtime including helping out with 3 dogs I’ve had over the years. He can keep a good pace with my more athletic breed and does a great job handling my smaller dogs barking reactivity on walks. Would highly recommend!
