I have an extremely flexible schedule as of now. I’m in flight school and those lessons are on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. They take up about 3 to 4 hours of my time besides this fight school. I have a pretty open schedule and use that time caring for dogs or other pets.

A typical day

I’m a student pilot who just moved to Carlsbad.i love taking my dog to the beach, on hikes and to run around the neighborhood! I had to leave my dog with family in Hawaii while in school so I am looking to fill my pet love by walking and caring for other peoples pets when needed!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for the last 5 years. I have fostered 4 dogs as well as have two of my own. I am good with dogs of all sizes. I have fostered puppies all the way to pregnant Pitbull. I have my own Rottweiler and pug. I’m coming through with dogs and cats of all sizes. I primarily work with larger dogs, but I’m gonna go with the smaller ones. I also work with all types of pets. I have experience with birds and reptiles as well.

Michael did a great job caring for our dogs and home while we were away. He followed all of our instructions, was respectful of our dogs’ routines, and kept the house clean. We also appreciated that he balanced his school responsibilities while still being dependable and communicative. He even stayed later than planned to help us out, which we were very grateful for. We would gladly have Michael sit for us again and recommend him to others.

Michael provides excellent care for my German shepherd and was so flexible and helpful when my travel plans changed due to canceled flight. We are so grateful for him
