Reviews
Bluey, our French bulldog, loved spending time with Michael over the weekend. Would definitely book again.
When our flight was canceled and we were going to be late returning by an extra day, Michael was awesome and continued care of our pup until we were back, no questions asked. He kept us posted with updates and picture the entire time we were out of town. Highly recommended him for your pet sitting.
Michael is now Bixbys FAVORITE human! What more can be said?
Michael was great! Super fast and easy to communicate with, treated Ollie well and was punctual.

Information Michael P. would like to know about your pet
Dogs daily routine, including feeding times, exercising needs, favorite toys and any specific instructions. Is your dog social and outgoing or reserved and cautious? This is helpful so I can approach them with patience and understanding and set a pace for interactions and to provide them with the space they need to feel comfortable. ⚠️Are there any stressors or specific behavior patterns to look out for? I will always keep open communication and updates as necessary.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog begins with a warm greeting and gentle reassurance, helping them feel comfortable and at ease in their temporary home away from home. Morning starts with a refreshing walk, allowing the dog to stretch their legs, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the sights and smells of the neighborhood. Following the walk, it's time for breakfast, served according to the dog's specific dietary needs and preferences, ensuring they start the day with a nutritious meal. Throughout the day, I provide personalized attention and companionship, engaging in interactive play sessions, offering plenty of cuddles and affection, and tailoring activities to suit the dog's individual personality and energy level. For dogs who enjoy socialization, trips to the dog park or playdates with other friendly pups may be on the agenda, allowing them to burn off energy and enjoy the company of their canine companions. As the day winds down, I ensure the dog has opportunities for rest and relaxation, providing a comfortable and cozy space for napping or quiet time as needed. Evening brings another leisurely walk, followed by dinner served with care and attention to detail, and perhaps some extra cuddles and affection before bedtime. Before tucking them in for the night, I ensure the dog has everything they need for a peaceful slumber, whether it's a favorite toy, a cozy blanket, or simply a reassuring presence by their side. Throughout the day, I maintain open communication with the dog's owners, providing updates, photos, and peace of mind that their beloved pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in my care.
