Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve got over ten years of experience having my own dog and taking care of others. Right now I don't have any other pets in my home, and I live in a nice subdivision with plenty of space to walk and roam! I am also an active walker/runner if your pet likes that, or relaxing at home is great too. :)

My dog Phoenix had a wonderful day with Michael who documented their walks and Phoenix‘s naps throughout the day; loved getting those photos. Highly recommend Michael and will definitely hire him again to care for my pets.

Michael was great to communicate with and took care of our pup on last minute notice. We would love to work with him again!

Michael is a fantastic caregiver and lover of pets! We have left our 4 year old Vizsla with Michael while we went on vacation a few times. Michael gives her excellent care and always makes sure she gets some extra love while her family is away! The best part for Gretchen is that Michael is a runner and she gets to go on runs with him - they both get a little exercise! We always get pictures of their adventures and snuggling on the couch at night so we stay connected while we are away. Gretchen is on a few medications and Michael navigates them with ease. We highly recommend Michael as a pet caregiver!
