Peace of Mind for Pet Parents

I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and am currently a proud pet papa to four dogs, one cat, and two guinea pigs—all rescues! Caring for animals with different personalities and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience, patience, and an understanding of how important consistency and trust are. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ll care for them with the same attention and affection I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer pet care in my own home at this time, but my pets are truly part of the family and live in a loving, caring environment—if we have it, they have it! When caring for pets in a client’s home or taking them on walks, I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, safety, and house rules. I understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and I will treat each one with the same patience, respect, attention, and affection I give my own.

Michael has watched my pets in the past and has done an amazing job. Having 7 animals themselves, I fully trusted him with the most precious of our babies. He was amazing and very communicative. I would have 0 hesitation in using him again.

Michael loves animals, especially dogs. He and his wife have four dogs and one cat, and he takes very good care of them. He did some dog sitting for me, and I was never concerned about anything because I knew he would take good care of her. One thing I really thought was cool is Michael would send me pictures of my dog while I was out of town. I would definitely let him keep her at any time.

Michael is great with animals of all kinds! In addition to being the proud pet papa to 7 animals, he has previously had cats and dogs. He is dependable, listens to pet owners’ needs and wants and takes care of other people’s pets as if they were his own. If you’re looking for reliable per care, Michael is a wonderful choice!

I would like to know if your animals have any health or medical issues that I would need to keep an eye on or if the need to administer medicine while I watch would be needed.
