Michael is a graduate of our Jr Dog Guardian course who now works with us - and in fact, he walks and takes care of our own dogs when we're busy!

 

Here are a few words from Michael:

​​

Hi, I’m Michael.

Whether it’s a midday walk, an overnight stay, or feeding the cat, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and safe while you’re away. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old when I got my first dog. Since then, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and various other pets. I pride myself on being respectful, tidy, and following your pet’s specific routine. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends. Feel free to contact me to chat about your pet's needs!
