Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Home Away From Home!
I’ve loved caring for animals since I was a teenager, starting with my beloved sausage dog (even if some say they’re not “real” dogs!). Since moving to Whistler, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends whenever they traveled and couldn’t bring their pups along. For the past two years, my partner and I have had a hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal, I’ve definitely felt a bit of an “attention void” during the day—so I’d love to give your pet all the care and affection they deserve!

We didn’t cross paths in person but good communication!
Michael took care of Almond for a day and was very understanding of her puppy energy! Thanks for walking her and for the easy coordination
we arranged this very last minute and everything was great.
We were in between accommodations during our stay in Whistler and needed last-minute help with our dog. Michael responded immediately, was incredibly friendly, and made sure Hugo had a wonderful time. We’re so grateful!
Michael looked after our dogs while we were in Whistler. He walked them each day and the dogs were super excited to see him when they returned the next day! Thank you for keeping Barry and George company while we were snowboarding! Much appreciated.
Michael took excellent care of our furry baby, even on very short notice. He was reliable, kind, and truly responsible throughout the stay. On one of the days, his car broke down, but he still made it work and showed up as promised. That level of dedication really meant a lot to us. We felt confident and at ease knowing our dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter.

Schedule
I work from home as a sales rep for a pool construction company, and ever since COVID, all my meetings happen online, over the phone, or through email. That means I’m home most of the time, which makes it easy to give your doggie plenty of attention throughout the day!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a house with a spacious living room where pets can relax and feel at home when I’m pet-sitting. Our neighborhood is perfect for dogs, with dog parks and forest trails just a few minutes away—so your furry friend will get plenty of walks and outdoor time! Even while I’m working, I always keep an eye on them to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes sticking to your pet’s routine—walks, meals, playtime, and any specific care they need. I adjust activities based on their energy level, whether that’s playing fetch, going for a solid walk, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I like to keep them engaged with simple games or interactive toys if they’re into that. Most of all, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well looked after. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you know they’re doing great.
