Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover, and pets love me too.
Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
Ratings and reviews
Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana
Michael has been watching my dogs for four years and he's wonderful. My dogs love him . He is very dependable . I have dalmatians that are high energy dogs and very needy. He walks them and gives them lots of attention. He treats my house like I do. When I come home It looks wonderful like I left it. Happy dogs and a Happy house. Jacqui
My cat Ollie was never wild about strangers but was purring on Michael's lap within an hour of their introduction. Michael has a gentle calming disposition and let Ollie come to him at his own speed. He's intelligent and mature and I always felt confident that he could handle anything weird that came up while I was away. He even managed to get Ollie to take his pills, something I was never any good at.

Schedule
My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority.
