Pet Sitter for Your Companion!
Pet care experience
Choosing the right pet sitter is crucial, and I understand the importance of finding someone who can provide exceptional care for your furry family members. What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and a diverse range of skills that cater to the specific needs of different pets. First and foremost, I have a lifelong passion for animals, and my dedication to their well-being began at a young age. I've been caring for dogs, cats, and various other animals since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, which has given me invaluable hands-on experience. In addition to my general pet care abilities, I have specialized skills that make me well-suited for certain situations. For instance, I have extensive training in puppy care. I understand the unique needs of young dogs, from potty training and socialization to basic obedience commands. I can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your puppies, helping them develop into well-behaved and happy adult dogs. Moreover, I have experience in senior pet care. I understand the challenges that come with caring for older animals, such as mobility issues or specific health concerns. I'm attentive to their needs and can provide gentle care, administering medication if required and adapting routines to ensure their comfort and happiness. Furthermore, I am knowledgeable about various pet breeds, their temperaments, and specific dietary requirements. I'm well-versed in handling different sizes and energy levels, ensuring that each pet receives the appropriate amount of exercise and mental stimulation. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that I will treat them with the utmost love, care, and respect. I prioritize their well-being and make it my mission to create a safe and comfortable environment for them in your absence. I am also a reliable and trustworthy individual, always adhering to schedules and instructions provided by pet owners. Communication is important to me, and I will keep you updated with regular reports and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in good hands. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I would be delighted to meet you and your furry companions to discuss how I can provide exceptional care tailored to their unique needs
Reviews
10/10
Our dog loved staying with Mike J. I feel super grateful that we found him to watch Tank when we travel. She learned good habits from his dogs and we will 100% be dropping her off with him again the next time we go out of town. Thank you Mike!
Mike watched our dog for 10 days while we were on a cruise and did such a fantastic job with her! It was the longest we’ve ever had to board her and we were nervous but Mike was so reassuring and updated us on her regularly (even though we told him reception would be spotty). She was happy and healthy when we picked her up thanks to the great care she got. Thanks Mike!
Bronx and Thunder had a great time with Mike. They always come home happy and relaxed after being with Mike! Anytime we travel out of LAX we will definitely book Mike to take care of our dogs!

Safety, trust & environment
With a securely fenced yard and the companionship of two friendly basset hounds, my home provides a safe and enjoyable environment for your dog. Additionally, I am equipped with a crate, which allows me to accommodate dogs that may require or benefit from crate training or a safe space. Your dog's safety and well-being are of utmost importance to me. My fenced yard ensures that your furry friend has a designated area to explore and play freely, under my supervision. The presence of my basset hounds adds a social aspect, as they can engage in friendly interactions and provide companionship to your dog. I understand that each dog has unique needs and preferences. If your dog prefers or requires crate time, I can provide a comfortable and secure crate environment where they can relax and feel at ease. Crating can be particularly beneficial for dogs who appreciate having a quiet space of their own or are in the process of crate training. Rest assured that while your dog is in my care, they will receive personalized attention and care. I will ensure that their exercise, feeding, and playtime needs are met according to your instructions. Additionally, I will closely monitor their interactions with the basset hounds to ensure a harmonious and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I take pride in creating a welcoming and loving atmosphere for dogs in my home. I understand the importance of trust, and I will treat your dog as a member of my own family. Regular communication and updates will be provided, so you can stay connected and informed about your dog's well-being during their time with me. Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to meeting you and your dog, and providing a nurturing and engaging environment that meets their individual needs.

As a stay-at-home dad with a homeschooled 7-year-old boy, my schedule offers flexibility and availability to cater to your pet's needs. In addition to efficiently managing daily errands and taking my son to his extracurricular activities, I have dedicated time and attention to ensure that your pets receive the care and exercise they require. With a structured routine in place, I can provide reliable pet care services, including walking, feeding, and playtime. As an active family, we understand the importance of regular exercise, and we would be delighted to include your pets in our activities to keep them happy and healthy. Having a young child at home means that our environment is welcoming and accustomed to the presence of pets. Our home is a safe and comfortable space where your furry family members can feel at ease during their time with us. I prioritize open communication and will keep you updated on your pet's well-being, ensuring that you have peace of mind while you're away. Whether you need me for a few hours or longer periods, I am dedicated to providing personalized care that meets your pet's specific needs and adheres to any special instructions you may have. By choosing me as your pet caregiver, you can be confident that your beloved animals will receive attention, love, and companionship in a nurturing environment. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you, your pets, and discuss how I can be of assistance to your family
