Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient, Friendly, and Responsible
Growing up with dogs and cats for most of my life has helped me to learn that our pets should be treated like family and deserve a fulfilling and active lifestyle. I was taught that they depend on you for not only basic care, but for love and attention. I understand that, like us, each animal is unique and should be treated as such. It would be my pleasure to look after and care for your pet with the respect and understanding they deserve. I will do everything to provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your furry friend is well taken care of while you are away. I love going on hikes, bike, rides, and runs withmy bordie collie/lab mix Wrigley. I would love to take your pet on whatever adventure you think they might enjoy during our time together! Please feel free to inquire about my availability, I am freshly graduated with a Masters in Natural Resources and have a large degree of flexibility while I work towards full time employment as an outdoor educator!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michael is the best pet sitter you could ask for. He is thoughtful, communicative, excellent with large dogs, flexible with scheduling, and always reliable! I am truly so grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone.
Michael was professional and punctual. He is a natural with dogs
Michael walked my dogs for the first time this week while I was out of town. He was patient and kind, and my dogs absolutely love him. I have a new puppy, and it's very clear that Michael worked with him while walking and not only made sure he didn't regress in his training, but made even more progress with him. I wasn't sure how often or long he'd need to be walked while I was gone, and Michael worked me to adjust his schedule when it looked like pup needed more. 10/10 from me, and we'll absolutely use him every time as well as highly recommend him to anyone who needs pet care!
Eases my anxiety every time I book with Michael. He shows up on time, walks and provides prompt feedback on the welfare of our dog. He has my strongest recommendation.
We've used Michael before and were super happy he was available when we took a longer trip. He once again took great care of our cat and also looked after a few plants in our absence. Really appreciate knowing Griffin is in good hands when we are away.
I’m so pleased with the care my cat got! While I was away I got sent updates and pictures:) I felt safe with him in my home and felt my cat was well taken care of.

Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I work to provide whatever pets there are with as much space and/or attention as they may need. Not having my own yard I make sure to take out my dog several times a day. Luvkily we live right next to the Boise Greenbelt and take full advantage by going on long walks by the river with plenty of playing in the water. I also drive a 4-door Jeep Wrangler and love loading the pups up for an adventure.
Pets
A typical day
Walks and hikes. If You specifically tell me, I'll take them to see their friends at the park. Otherwise, I tend to do solo activities, just me and your pet.
