Pet care experience

I love cats and dogs.

Hi, I have owned a dog the last 16 years and been pet sitting for relatives 6 years. My dog just turned 16 in November, but he does not yet have his driver's license. I work from home. I live one mile south of the Gravois and Tesson Ferry intersection in a house with a big fenced in backyard.

I needed a last minute cat sitter, and Michael was quick to respond and made the boarding process as smooth as possible. My cat was very comfortable with the place and treated it like her own.

Michael was quick to respond and took good care of my cat! I was comfortable leaving my cat with him and would use him to cat sit in the future. Thank you, Michael!

Our cats, Midnight & David, were safe and well cared for Michael's hands. As much as cats do not like a change in their environment, they fared just fine at their brief home away from home.

Michael was dependable and very reliable with drop off and pickup times. He was courteous and kind to Astrid, and he likes watching cats. I would recommend Michael.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home Monday to Friday. I am always home except for brief period while running errands (to the grocery store for example). My schedule allows me the flexibility to feed and let pets in an out throughout the day. I would be able to take a dog on a walk in the afternoon or evening and anytime on the weekend.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a big house with only my dog. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am able to lets the pets in and out of my house as needed.

A typical day

I pay attention to them and pet them when they are in the house. I will go outside with them and if needed take them on a walk. I can play ball with them when they are outside or maybe even inside too.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Also let me know if there is anything that I can do to make your pet's stay with me more enjoyable.
