Will trudge through snow for pups

Pet care experience

Will do walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I am a transplant from Florida missing my pets immensely - will provide the utmost care for yours. Have cared for all sizes and attitudes from Pomeranians to Mastiffs, also have a huge soft spot for cats. I have 8 years of extensive pet care experience, having cared for animals with special needs such as muscular/skeletal issues to diabetes. I am also very comfortable administering pills, topicals, and shots, should your pet require! I know your pet is your most precious asset and often your best friend, so I always care for them as if they were my own. I am a graduate student at the U with a pretty flexible schedule. I live in Northeast, and am willing to travel throughout Minneapolis.

Michael is by far the most respectful house-sitter and caretaker of my pup Rothko. I can’t recommend him enough! I have had plenty of experiences, both positive and negative, with other sitters. Michael is a league of his own.

Michael did a great job with my dog while I was out of town. He proactively sent pictures over the weekend and gave me little updates along the way. He walked the dog and they played in the backyard to burn off some energy. I'm pretty sure my dog didn't even miss me.... :)
