Caring, Loving Dogfather for Hire

Well, my fur babies adore me — and I think that says a lot. I’m honest, kind-hearted, and give pets plenty of love, attention, and care. As a graduate student, I spend a lot of time at home, so your little ones will receive lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I provide a clean home, a clean yard, and dependable, trustworthy pet sitting.

Mike was super easy to work with and my dog got along with his dogs well. He took great care of Pizza with frequent walks and updates. I’d love to use Mike again!

Was super organized and answered every question and more before dropping him off and at the drop off so we felt super comfortable leaving Dawson. Dawson enjoyed his time there! We also received updates and pictures throughout his stay

Schedule

I’m currently in graduate school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. I’m available for pet care every day of the week except Mondays from 5pm–9pm while I attend class. Because I’m home so often, your pets will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency, patience, and a calm environment are for pets, and I take pride in providing dependable, attentive care in a clean and safe home.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in the Harvey Park area, which offers plenty of safe sidewalks, walking paths, and pet-friendly spaces for daily walks and exercise. I’m also just a few blocks from Harvey Park itself, giving dogs access to great outdoor environments and plenty of opportunities for stimulation and activity. I own my home and have a fully fenced backyard that I keep clean, secure, and well maintained for both pets and people. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is very important to me, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I’m comfortable accommodating a variety of care preferences, including crating or non-crating routines, medication schedules, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and other special requests. I understand every pet has unique routines and personalities, so I’m happy to be flexible and work with owners to provide the care their pets are most comfortable with.
