Highlights
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. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies.
Cat care experience
Michael also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Michael was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated my dog like his own.I received updates and felt reassured the entire time I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable. It’s such a relief knowing you can trust someone with your fur baby, and I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves and cares about the dogs they watch, I HIGHLY recommend them!
Michael was great with our Bernedoodle Nyx. It took a bit for her to warm to him, but in the end she loved it there. Lots of space to roam and enjoy while we were away.
Michael and family were so caring for Yoda! He had an amazing time in their care and I will happily trust Michael with Yoda anytime I need care in the future!
I chose pet sitter Michael W in New City NY to care for my cat this past weekend. He and his family provided an extraordinarily safe, comfortable, clean, calm, and accommodating setting within their luxurious spotless residence and property nestled within a quiet and exclusive neighborhood far from heavy traffic and any other threatening exposures. New City is well known for low crime and safety thanks to it's most reliable law enforcement and emergency services. My opinion is that I found the perfect match for any cat or dog and I will choose Michaei for my future pet boarding needs hands down.
Michael was absolutely fantastic with my American bully. Michael had my dog for 9 days and sent frequent photos and updates of my dog. Five stars, highly recommend!
We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being. It was clear that Michael truly cared for our three furbabies and treated them as if they were his own. We greatly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and dedication. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again.
