Pet care experience

Pets are the greatest gift of all.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, especially senior dogs. I foster older pups for dog rescues here in Florida, and when I’m not fostering, I offer pet sitting services. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pet is young or in their golden years, they’ll be loved and well cared for with me.

First time using Michael for our 2 dogs and it was a 2 night assignment. He was fantastic! Dogs loved him, we loved pix and videos he sent. Michael was all about the dogs and making sure they were active and always safe at the park. Definitely will be using Michael again! Thank you!! C and Y!

Michael was amazing! He loves dogs. He's super reliable, trustworthy, caring, attentive, and responsive. He sent daily pictures and posts, took him for plenty of walks, and lots of attention. Michael stayed at our house while we were out of town on an extended trip, Our home was safe and our energetic fur boy was happy and got to stay in his own home where he was comfortable and well-cared for. Michael will be our first choice whenever we need someone. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good sitter/walker, etc.

Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter- Michael set regular updates and clearly really loved animals. It was a pleasure being able to travel knowing my pets were so well attended to. The best!

Michael was so great with my dog and four cats! He was thorough with his questions on taking care of them and sent me regular updates on how they were doing. We were gone for 9 days, and they barely even seemed excited we were home, so I know that they were well cared for and loved on the whole time! We were so, so pleased with his stay, and will definitely be booking him again when needed! He’s very nice, dependable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him!

Schedule

When I’m not fostering, I pet sit and structure my days around the needs of the pets in my care to make sure they receive consistent, reliable, and loving attention. I am currently home enough to provide regular check-ins and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
