Reliable, honest, and personable.

Pet care experience

I love animals. I have had many different animals over the years. Going all the way back to when I was a kid I have always had different breeds of dogs, cats, and birds. When i was growing up, in addition to the dogs, cats, and birds, I had lizards, turtles, fish, chickens, rabbits, and even a pot belly pig. My mother was breeding cockatiels and volunteering at an animal rescue center. At one point my mother and I had 27 animals all living under the same roof. I personally have raised and trained small, medium, and large sized dogs. I grew up with and helped raise 2 macaws and 1 cockatoo that my mom still has and are written in her will to go to me because they’re the same age as I am and will outlive my parents. I currently live with three cats and a small dog and help feed the TNVR kitties around my house and my neighbors. I also have a large freshwater aquarium with 15 fish. I currently am working part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and can be wherever the owners and animals need me to be. I will follow directions exactly. Any special treatment needed will be provided. I don’t mind going the extra mile for your baby. I will be honest and dependable for you because that's what I want my sitters to be for me.

Mike was fabulous! He really took care of Coco and of our house. His communication responsiveness and flexibility with regard to accomodating us were exceptional. I would definitely recommend him. Thank you, Mike!

Mike has a real love for animals. His household has always had some combination of dogs, cats, and his family’s beautiful parrots. As a result, you can rest easy knowing your pet will be extremely well cared for by someone who genuinely wants to help, and has the experience to do so. If you’re looking for kind and respectful help for your pets, look no further.

I have 3 very friendly cats and 1 equally as friendly chihuahua, Brody, to keep your baby company. If they need a crate then you will have to provide one because I only have one that's sized for a 6lb Brody. If the cats are too much for your pup then just let me know ahead of time and I can keep my kitties in my master bedroom.

Information Mike W. would like to know about your pet

The only thing about staying at my house is that I have 3 cats and my roommates has a chihuahua so any dog coming to my house must be okay with cats and other dogs. :)

A typical day

I love spending time with animals. We will definitely get a lot of playtime. We will go for walks, explore the yard, and if the owner is ok with it even go down to any one of the many parks around.
