Pet care experience

Animal lover

I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. No one will be assisting me with care. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies.

Michael is truly wonderful with animals. He’s patient, gentle, and treats every pet as if they were his own. You can always count on him to be responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. Any pet in his care is in great hands.

I’ve seen how caring and patient Michael is with animals, and I would trust him with any pet. He is very dependable, and pays attention to the little things that allow pets to feel comfortable. Whether it’s going for walks or just spending time with them, Michael enjoys it. Any pet would be lucky to have him as a caregiver, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can count on.

From my experience, my pets felt comfortable and happy around him. Michael will have you feeling confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your pet mentally and physically. We can walk the property and explore all the exciting areas of the acre of land. There is a park near the house and quiet streets to walk your pet. Also, we can visit the small pond across the street.
