Dog's Best Friend looking to help!

Pet care experience

Hi there, highly experienced dog sitter/lover here! I grew up with 3 rowdy Westies, and have spent a majority of my life surrounded by dogs (talk about a great childhood!) During our stay, your dog will receive an overwhelming amount of attention and belly-scratches. I have over 6 years of experience sitting both big dogs and small dogs in NYC, Chicago, and LA. I am able to travel anywhere in the NYC metropolitan area to sit your pup. I love roaming the city, so walking adventurous, energetic, or fast-paced dogs is my specialty! I’m a big fan of photo shoots, and will be sure to send many gorgeous pics of your pet throughout our stay. As an extreme dog lover, I promise absolute safety and loads of fun for your dog!

Michael was an awesome dog sitter! He took really great care of our boy and our apartment. He was also super accommodating when we had to make some last minute changes to our plans. We look forward to having Michael dog sit again for us in the future.

Professional, friendly, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Michael stayed in our house and I would definitely recommend him.

I needed someone on kinda short notice to watch my dog and cat overnight and Michael was great. Showed up on time, got along with my high-energy dog, followed all instructions about her walk/food/medicine schedule, sent me a cute pic at night and a summary of the stay before he left, and left my place clean. Would definitely hire him again!
