Michael did an amazing job dog and house sitting for us while we were away. My 3 pups took to him very quickly. He was great at communicating throughout the weekend and the communication included pictures and updates about how the pups were doing. I could not be more pleased with Michael and will absolutely use him again in the future.

Michael watched our pups with loving care. He stayed with them at our house, sent plenty of pictures, and communicated with us through the time we were away. He is an excellent caretaker. We’ll definitely hire him again.

When we were planning a trip out of the country, we wanted someone who was serious and committed to doing the best job they could for our cats and our house. We found this in Michael, who quickly earned the love and trust of Bagheera & Laska, our 2 cats. They are so different in personality and temperament it's hard to believe. Michael quickly won over the shy, cautious Laska, and became Bagheera's best buddy for playing and walks around the yard. He's not a snuggly cat, but he trusted Michael enough to even sit in his lap. We also felt that we could completely rely on Michael to do anything that was needed. When we got back, the plants had been watered, the house was as we left it (messy but clean), and the cats were happy. We trust Michael and highly recommend him.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is a priority. My parents house has a fenced in yard, but also a pool, so I'd always keep a watch when their dogs were out while I was caring for them. For walks, I avoid busy streets and use strong leashes often with harnesses. I am very physically strong from years at the gym, so I can easily handle dogs big or small

Information Michael P. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What's your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What should your pup avoid?

A typical day

I absolutely love going for walks or just hanging out, giving some pets, lovin and some playing. Either way, each day we will stay safe and have great fun! I also make sure to keep in regular contact with you: sending updates and pictures!
