Professional Dog Friend!

Pet care experience

I am happy to provide complete attention to the moods and needs of your fur babies and also a soothing voice of reason for anxious pups! Years of experience caring for and raising dogs from puppies into adulthood, as well as incorporating adopted dogs into an established family containing young human children, older human individuals, younger puppies, rabbits, established adult dogs with pups, and neighborhood families with similar compositions. After all this time I have a strong sense of connection with our furry friends that drives me to provide the most complete and attentive care to these creatures that has sustained myself, as well as my family, for so long. Patience, understanding and a calm and gentle demeanor make me well liked among our canine friends. I spent a year not doing much sitting to spend time with my family, but this is something I excel at and truly enjoy.

Michael did the best job taking care of our bub and our house! We loved the multiple daily photo updates, but we especially loved coming home to a happy puppy and a clean house. We’ll be calling Michael again! :)

Honestly, I was really disappointed with my services. Things were missing from my home when I returned from my trip and there was a general carelessness displayed in my house which made me worried about the care that my pet received while I was away. I did receive photo updates during my trip and my dog is still alive which is the only reason for the two stars. He may do better with boarding or drop in visits but I wouldn’t use him again for house sitting.

Michael went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our cats. We received several photos and daily updates with the status of each of our fur babies. After a few strikeouts with cat/house sitters, we finally found the person we want to use every time moving forward. I couldn’t recommend him more to care for your pets. We know that in Michael’s care, our cats are being taken care of just as if it was us doing it ourself. THANK YOU MIKE!!!

For house sitting I provide meticulous care to not only the upkeep of your home but the well-being of your pups. I spent years growing up with dogs who loved camping and I always make sure I leave every place I stay a bit cleaner and better than I found it.

Information Michael N. would like to know about your pet

I always make sure to understand any dietary and medical requirements, age, and temperament around other dogs, children or unknown people during walks. My main objective is making everyone feel as comfortable at all times if and when you trust someone to care for your furry buddies.

A typical day

A typical day is walking the scenic boulevards of your neighborhood! Frolicking is always an option, as well as any requested playtime with your pup’s favorite toys! Any favorite doggy parks will be priority number one.
