Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets in their comfort zone—your home! 🏡🐾 I stick to their usual routines so everything feels familiar: same feeding schedule, favorite toys, walks on their route, and belly rubs in their go-to spot on the couch. I keep things clean, cozy, and calm—whether that means scooping litter boxes, watering plants, or giving meds with a treat and a smile. 💊🍖 Plus, I send updates (with adorable pics!) so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Your pets stay happy, relaxed, and loved until you’re home again. ❤️🐶🐱🐰🦎

Information Michael T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I want to give them the best experience I can and make them feel safe.

A typical day

When I’m pet sitting, it’s all about keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching! I love going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and laser tag for the kitties. For cuddle bugs, I give plenty of snuggles and belly rubs. Making sure every pet feels loved and safe. Whether it’s a game of chase or a cozy nap session, I match the energy and needs of each pet to make sure they have a fun and happy time while their humans are away!

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Mike, I have over 30 years of experience with animals. I own five dogs currently. I have had cats, birds, fish, bunnies, snakes, ferrets and iguanas. Heading out? I’ll keep tails wagging, wings flapping, and whiskers twitching! From pups and kittens to bunnies, birds, and reptiles—your beloved pets get all the care, cuddles, and playtime they deserve while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰🦎🦜 What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. 🐾 Whether your pup needs help with potty training or your senior cat needs extra TLC, I’ve got the patience, experience, and big heart to meet them where they are. I’m confident with all kinds of animals—wiggly puppies, shy bunnies, talkative parrots, and even your bearded dragon with attitude. 💬🦎 From giving meds to managing routines, I treat each pet like they’re my own (spoiled and adored!). My goal? To make your pet feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away—so you can relax knowing they’re in good paws. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐢
