Michael has watched my dogs on multiple occasions and I couldn’t be happier. I’m finally able to go on vacation and not have to worry about my fur babies. He shows them such love and attention. They are always happy to see him.

Michael is an incredible owner to his pets. My own cat recently had surgery, and in an effort to share an experience with me, he told me that he noticed his own cat was losing weight and then proceeded to explain the process that he was going through with her and the vet. Many cat owners wouldn't notice something so miniscule, but Michael did and immediately went about getting her help. My cat is my whole world and I would have no issues with Michael watching him while I was away. If that's not enough to convince you, all of Michael's pets are adopted and generally if you suck at pet parenting, they don't let you keep adopting them.

Michael is one of the most responsible and organized young men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He has lovingly cared for his own pets for years, keeping them safe, healthy and happy. Your pets will be in the best hands with Michael! I recommend him without hesitation! 10/10!!

Safety, trust & environment

Having worked with shelter dogs, I have years of experience with a wide range of temperaments in a high stress situation. I use the same techniques taught by the shelters to maximize safety, even if crossing the path of an unknown animal. Person and pet safety is the most important aspect to ensure your pet is happy and healthy during and after every visit.

Information Michael Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs, if treats are allowed, and favorites of your pet so they can have the best time possible.

A typical day

I love to go for long walks with lots of fresh air. If safe fenced space is available, games such as fetch and other enrichment are a must. And to wind down, lots of pets and belly rubs.
