About Micheal P.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, safety and maintaining their exact routine are my highest priorities. I treat your home with total respect, following security protocols meticulously while ensuring doors and gates are securely locked. I focus on keeping your pet’s environment calm, safe, and clean, checking water bowls, managing food areas precisely, and ensuring they feel secure and stress-free

Information Micheal P. would like to know about your pet

Before our first visit, please let me know about your pet's favorite hiding spots, their exact house rules (like being allowed on furniture), and if they have any history of trying to slip out the door. The more detail you provide about what makes them nervous or happy, the better! My preference is for cats and dogs that do not have a history of aggression toward humans. I thrive with pets that appreciate a steady, punctual caregiver who follows instructions to the letter.

A typical day

Because I thrive on structure, a typical day with your pet is entirely centered around punctuality and routine. For morning drop-ins or walks, I arrive right on time to let your dog out, refresh their water, and feed them according to your exact instructions, followed by a brisk walk to get their day started. If I’m visiting your cat, the routine begins with fresh food, thoroughly cleaning the bowls, checking water fountains, and handling the litter box meticulously. I dedicate the remainder of every visit entirely to your pet—whether that means high-energy playtime, practicing basic commands, or just offering quiet, comforting companionship. Every single visit wraps up with a thorough safety check of your home (ensuring doors are locked and hazards are out of reach) and a detailed update sent straight to your phone with photos of our day.

Your dog's new second favorite.

Pet care experience

I provide structured, high-energy, and attentive care designed to keep your dog safe, stimulated, and perfectly on schedule. I know how important consistency is for a dog's well-being, so I follow your exact training commands, feeding schedules, and walking routes to the letter. Whether your dog loves long, brisk walks around the neighborhood, intense fetch sessions, or just endless belly rubs while you're at work, I tailor my care to their unique personality. I am a highly responsible, detail-oriented professional who prioritizes safety above all else, ensuring gates are locked, leashes are secure, and your dog returns happy and tired

Michael has helped me with my two dogs (65lb lab and 75lb Belgian Malinois mix) and my dogs in the past. I have four boys as well that he’s been around on and he’s even great toward them and any person/animal he seems to meet. He is reliable, trustworthy, dedicated and hardworking.
