“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Zeus. I'm so grateful for Michael. Not only did he take care of Zeus while I was out of town, but he helped to calm the anxiety Zeus had due to our lifestyle change. When I came home, Zeus was looking for Michael to come, not me. He was so much more calm and willing to obey commands.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog/pet owner and have had my own dog for 6 years. I enjoy staying busy, and would love to spend time with dogs when I’m free! I live in an apartment near Willow Bend, but would be willing to drive a moderate distance to watch your pup! I am a movie lover who enjoys spending the day lounging around or playing with my 12 pound Chihuahua/ Pinscher mix! My family lives close by and we frequently have dog play dates. I allow dogs on my furniture and keep them out in the house whenever I am home. Your dog will get plenty of attention, excercise, and love will you are away! Thanks! I work full time, 9-5, however when I am watching your furbaby, all of my free time will be devoted to them for play and love! I am not available for boarding in my own home, but I am available for house sits and drop ins! When I am in your home, your pets are my top priority. I prefer to spend my time with them, and will treat them as if they were my own. Our time will be spent playing inside, or enjoying the fresh air outside in your backyard or on walks. I am also unbothered by dogs on furniture, and am familiar with all personalities. If you prefer to have your pets kenneled when I am away, that will be no issue.

About: I have cared for dogs and other pets all my life and know how important it is for our pets to have consistent, loving, and dependable care. I treat every pet in my care like a cherished family member. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and completely comfortable in their own home while you are away. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and energy levels. I know that every pet has a personality, from puppies who need to release that extra energy to older dogs that need extra patience and attention. I have personal, hands-on experience caring for aging pets and those navigating complex health journeys, including cancer. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications (pills and liquids) with a gentle, patient touch. Puppy Patience & Guidance: While not a commercial trainer, I have successfully raised and trained multiple puppies over the decades using consistent, loving, and positive reinforcement. In-Home Comfort & Security: By focusing exclusively on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, I keep your pets in their familiar environment—minimizing stress and giving you total peace of mind. I look forward to helping you have peace of mind and giving your special pet the companionship, cuddles and play (or simple, calm routine) they need while you're away. My schedule is flexible so I am able to adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight companionship, I have the time and dedication to make sure they get unhurried, attentive care every single day. I try to adjust my daily routine to mirror yours as closely as possible, keeping your pets on their familiar schedule for meals, play, and bedtime. Because I don't host pets in my home, my focus is entirely on keeping yours safe and comfortable in theirs. Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety are my absolute highest priorities. When you trust me with your home and your beloved pets, I take that responsibility seriously, ensuring a secure, stress-free experience from start to finish. Meet & Greets: Before any booking, I always meet with you and your pets in person. This ensures your pet feels comfortable with me, lets us review their unique routines, and allows us to establish your exact communication preferences. Meticulous Home Security: I am thorough when it comes to securing your home. You never have to worry: I double and triple check every door, lock, and gate before leaving your property. Consistent Communication & Photos: You will never be left wondering how your pet is doing. I send updates and photos with every single visit, keeping you fully in the loop so you can relax while you are away. Safety First on Every Walk & Visit: Decades of pet ownership mean I am always alert to surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash, monitoring for potential hazards, and giving your pets the calm, vigilant attention they deserve.

About: Our experience caring for our 5-year-old rescue dog has taught us the importance of patience, compassion, and commitment. We adopted him from a local shelter, where he had tested positive for heartworm. Through months of treatment, regular veterinary care, and lots of love, he made a full recovery and is now living a happy, healthy life. Caring for him gave us firsthand experience with administering medication, attending follow-up vet appointments, monitoring his recovery, and providing a calm, safe environment during the healing process. Most importantly, it showed us that every dog deserves a second chance. We understand that every dog has unique needs, and we're committed to providing the same love, patience, and attentive care to every pup we look after. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Every day includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. We also make time for potty breaks, exercise, and quiet moments to help dogs feel comfortable and secure. Having cared for our own rescue dog through his recovery, we're used to being attentive to a dog's individual needs and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. We enjoy spending time with dogs and treat every pet as if they were part of our own family. We provide a safe, and loving home where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. We follow their regular routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. Every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care, just like they're part of our family.
