About Michael

Hi there!

I'm an animal lover and I really enjoy having animals in my life. I have had pets since I was 10, starting with a puppy then kittens, rabbits, Cockatiels and even frogs! In addition to owning pets, I enjoy looking after other peoples animals. I have been a reliable dog walker and cat sitter/feeder for family and friends when they are out of town for many years now.  

I currently live with my cat Milo, and enjoy playing with my mum's cat Freddy whenever I visit. My boys live with Charlee the Cavoodle and Zippy the cat in Kapiti. Charlee loves a walk by the river or a run on the beach. Zippy loves attention is always on the lookout for his next meal! I pet sit for them when they are away on holiday.

I would love to assist you by caring for your furry family member when you are at work, on holiday, or otherwise unavailable. I'm happy to take your dog for a walk, or visit to feed it and give it some attention. I'll also visit to feed/care your your cat, rabbit, bird, goldfish, etc. Unfortunately I can't offer doggy daycare, as Milo doesn't tolerate dogs besides Charlee.  

I have a work from home business so I am very flexible with my schedule. 

My standard dog walk rate is for up to an hour, but I can do shorter if your dog only likes short walks. I can start the walk from your house, or transport your dog to a local park. I live near a reserve and a large park.

I'm happy to meet in person prior to taking on a job so we can have a chat and I can get to know your fur baby.

I look forward to meeting you and the members of your animal family!

Cheers

Mike
