Dependable, loving and easy going

Pet care experience

I have cared for animals my entire life. Having grown up with cats, providing pet sitting as a teenager, and then fostering and adopting many rescues throughout the years. I am comfortable administering medication due to experience caring for older, as well as medically fragile pets. Bottom line is I am a true compassionate, loving person who could not imagine life with out caring for pets. I know leaving a pet in someones care can be stressful and concerning - rest assured, my goal is to ensure everyone is comfortable and has the best experience possible - you, your pet, and myself.

Having Michael take care of my pet is a breath of fresh air. I know that my furbaby is always in good hands when Michael is around, and it's one less worry on my mind. Michael will provide the same care for your pets as he does for his own; treating them with love! He respects all of my rules and instructions, and he totally understands that each pet is unique with unique personalities and unique requests. Thanks, Michael, for being the best with my furbaby!

I can honestly say, without ANY reservation, that Michael will be your pets best friend ever! I can say that because he is MY best friend (for life). I'm a human, but it doesn't matter because he is kind and empathic to all, whether on 4 legs or 2. He is responsible and conscientious and I can definitely day that I would trust him with any living soul. He even babies his plants. Honestly, I've wished he would adopt ME! But, apparently there is a "limit"to our friendship 😁

Michael is an amazing dog dad and sitter. His love and dedication to making sure all animals feel safe, loved, and cared for are just some of his strengths.

I am happy to care of your pet as you would. I believe as much consistency as possible is best and will accommodate your pets routine and schedules.

Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, medications or quirks that I can prepare and accommodate. Also important is knowing your pets typical routines, likes and dislikes (this includes foods treats and anything else that would be helpful). I always air on the side of the more information is better.

A typical day

I love to keep your dog as active as they would like to be weather playing fetch or just running and walking around the neighborhood. I enjoy playing and long walks - the park or beach time is always fun if your pet is up for it.

My husband and I have a small miniature pinscher who isn't very social, so I can't bring your pet to my home, however I am working part time and have excellent flexibility to house sit, provide plenty of play time and walks or drop in's to care for your loved one.
