I work remotely and can do my job from anywhere with my computer, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m typically busy from 5 PM to 9 PM, but outside of that, I’m available and ready to help. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some company during the day, I can be there. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I respect animals and truly understand them, whether they are big or small. I have two dogs of my own. One is an Alaskan Malamute named Rambo. The other is a Giant Alaskan Malamute named Kobe, who I rescued from Stockton. Kobe takes medication every day, so I am comfortable with administering daily meds and giving extra attention when needed. I walk them as often as I can when the weather is not too hot, and I spend my downtime with them. They both have their own unique personalities, and I appreciate and adapt to each of their needs. I also respect my clients’ homes. I make sure to clean up after myself and will always clean up after your pet as well. You can trust that both your space and your animal will be treated with care and attention.

Information Michael T. would like to know about your pet

I always like to learn about each pet ahead of time so I can match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. Some pets love being active and going on long walks or playing fetch, while others just want someone to hang out with and give them affection. Once I know what they enjoy and what they’re used to, I adjust and make sure they’re happy, safe, and entertained the whole time I’m with them.

A typical day

I like to keep things fun and stress-free for the pets I watch. Depending on their personality and energy level, that could mean going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, tossing a ball around, or just relaxing and keeping them company. I always pay attention to what each pet enjoys most. Whether they’re active or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and fun they’re used to.

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals in my family my entire life, for over 25 years and counting. I have two dogs of my own and truly understand that every pet has their own personality and needs special attention. I’m a former small business owner with extra time on my hands and currently work remotely, so I’m flexible and available when you need me. I’m here to support you and your pet family with dependable, loving care.

Michael was amazing! He took care of our pups well and sent updates consistently with pictures. Very communicative and respectful of the house. Will hire him again.

Michael kept me updated with photos and videos of walking my fur babies while I was away on my trip. They are very happy in their photos and seemed to enjoy Michael's company. Would use again!

Michael is confident and patient with my two rescue German Shepherds who have unique needs. He takes the time to understand them and makes them feel safe and loved. I fully trust him and highly recommend him for a variety of pet care needs.
