Highlights
Pet care experience
I'm called the 'Dog Whisperer'
I've always had pets. I was 11 years old when I first got a dachshund who lived until I was 22. I then had a golden retriever until he was 13 in September 2022. I've been dog-sitting for two of my friends every month since May 2022 for a minimum of a week each time. What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering commitment to providing personalized care and attention to every furry friend. I prioritize your dog's well-being and happiness, tailoring my services to their unique needs. My love for pets will ensure a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your beloved companion while you're away. With me, your dog isn't just a client; they're family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Neil M was great! Good communication and update photos. We appreciated being able to leave Miss Mousse with him during a recent visit to Victoria.
Neil was absolutely amazing! Not only did our dog instantly fall in love with him (which is a HUGE deal if you know our dog) but throughout the sit, Neil was diligent, communicative, and kept our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. We will definitely book with him again!
Skipper is a very sweet corgi, but she can also be stubborn, anxious, and reactive at times, so trusting someone with her is not something I take lightly. Neil was absolutely exceptional. He provided multiple thoughtful updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. More importantly, Skipper was genuinely happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It was obvious he understood how to work with her personality with patience and kindness rather than force. I would trust him with her again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone truly attentive and reliable.
Neil took great care of Marley, and had excellent communication! I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day.
Neil was super with our old lady hound. It was obvious Neil took great care of her while we were away, kept up with all her supplements and avoided the usual hunger strike. We will definitely choose Neil again next time!
This was my first time leaving Charlie with Neil, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was attentive, caring and made sure Charlie felt comfortable right away. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me peace of mind knowing that Charlie was in such good hands.

Schedule
I work from home full-time for the BC Government, and usually go out for groceries or run errands on a Friday evening or Saturday morning. So, I'm usually home most of the time which allows me to give my undivided attention to a furry friend. And because I've had dogs my whole life, I know that meeting their needs is one of the most important parts of my routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a one-bedroom suite attached to a house with enough space for a small/medium-sized dog to run around and chill. I've been taking care of my friends' dogs every month since last year, and none of them have had any issues whatsoever. Just a 2-minute walk away from my home is a massive open area with grass and green pastures for dogs to roam about, sniff, and do their jobs! I keep my doors locked to make sure that none of them sneak out from under my watchful eye.
