Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Walker/Sitter
I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over six years now. I enjoy what I do. I am a writer but I take time away to spend with animals and nature as much as possible. I love meeting new animals and learning all of their quirks and personalities. I take good pictures for the owners and to document my time with them. I enjoy doing this! Unfortunately my schedule is my own though so I go week to week and don’t typically take on M-F clients every week clients.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have boarding in my home available at this time. I will adhere to any needs your pet has in your home and ensure they are not stuck in a crate all day.
Ratings and reviews
Right from the Meet and Greet we were very impressed with Michael - he asked some great questions about our dogs and their behaviors/routines that were an immediate indication he knows dogs well. We have two Australian Shepherds, an older Aussie with some reactivity, and a younger Aussie who is still in training and with tons of energy. He kept them engaged, active, and worked on some training. If he can manage our crazy boys, I'm confident he can handle just about any dogs! He provided dog/house sitting for 1 night/2 days, and we're already booking him for future trips.
Go ahead & hit book! Michael & his daughter were great to our two boys. My dogs - a husky/german Shepard mix & pittie - have plenty of personality & special needs (one of them even needs medication 3 times a day) and they got very well taken care of over the long weekend. Photos were beautiful & updates were in depth - if I had more questions, Michael answered super quick. House was in the same condition as when we left so there was no mess waiting for us after our drive home. I'd definitely recommend to family & friends & I'd book again.
Michael did a great job housesitting and caring for my pets! Would definitely use him again.

Michael was great! This was a last-minute request and he met us in Georgetown outside of the restaurant we had reservations for. Stella had a good time and we got some great pictures!
