Pet care experience

Over 20 years experience with dogs and over 15 years with cats. For the past 5 years, I've had the pleasure of being a pet parent to two amazing cats and one lovable dog. These fur babies are not just pets; they are my beloved kids who have filled my life with boundless love, joy, and unforgettable moments.

Michael is a great communicator and provided us with thoughtful updates and photos while watching our senior pup. We felt she was well cared for and would look forward to having him house/dog sit again.

I had to leave town unexpectedly and Michael was there to save the day! Max and Sadie seemed disappointed when I was the one that walked in the door when I returned home a couple of days later, lol. He was extremely communicative and he clearly loves animals and is great with them. I appreciated his thorough reports and great pics - it was great to have such peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Michael enough and will definitely use him again!

Michael went above and beyond for my adolescent and senior dogs with very different needs. And sent really lovely photos! I feel lucky to have found someone who takes such great care of my babies when I’m away.

A typical day

A typical day in my role as a pet caregiver is filled with joy and excitement as I embark on a rewarding journey with the furry friends under my care. Each morning begins with a warm greeting, ensuring that the pets feel loved and comfortable. Perhaps we start the day off with a brisk morning walk, allowing the dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. It's a great way to start the day on a positive note, promoting both physical and mental well-being. Or perhaps we play catch. If I'm looking after a chatty dog, well, buckle up for a day of 'pawsitively' entertaining conversations! If theres a park near by we will go on an adventure. I want to make sure your fur babies are having fun, that they are entertained and have the attention and care that they need to help make the time that you are away less stressful and lonely for them.
