Availability
My schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day, but I can often be free most of the day when needed. Morning walks are especially convenient for me, and I’m sometimes available on short notice. I work part-time and pet care often fits in well around my other responsibilities. I have a car and can travel locally without an issue.

Reliable Pet Caretaker
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 15 years. I grew up with dogs—raising them from puppies to seniors—and currently have two cats of my own. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and give oral meds to their pets, and I’ve had experience with shy and anxious animals too. I focus on day-to-day care, attention, and companionship when working with others’ animals.

Reviews
Michael provided excellent care to our two cats, especially our senior cat who has some odd eating habits. Our very shy cat warmed up to him fast! He sent pictures and updates every day and took great care of our house as well. I definitely recommend Michael’s services.
Michael is great! Very communicative, reliable and thorough. He makes sure I come back to a clean litter and even cleaned up cat vomit - sorry Micheal. I appreciate your care and know they are in good hands with you when I'm out of town.
Michael was absolutely amazing!! From the very first message he was super responsive and on point. When we met him, he was so sweet with our pup—we just knew right away he was the perfect fit. He showed up on time, followed her routine perfectly, and kept us updated with pictures every day. He was also super communicative if she needed anything, which gave us total peace of mind. Honestly, 10/10 recommend Michael—we’ll definitely be booking him again soon! Thank you so much!!
He is very responsible and responds within 1 hour or so. My dogs love hin
