About Michael

Energetic dog? Too much excitement to handle or don’t have the time? I can help! *DOGS ONLY AT THIS TIME PLEASE*

Hello! I’m Michael, computer science student and part time dog sitter here in Doncaster. I've been professionally sitting on Pawshake for over 2 years now, devoting my extra time to helping those who need their pets taken care of. I absolutely love what I do and go above and beyond for all my clients.

I’m an easy going, friendly person to meet and honestly love meeting new dogs! I'm unable to own any pets at the moment which is disappointing, but I am looking into fostering dogs in the near future. Giving dogs a second chance is always a beautiful thing.

I've looked after pets both professionally and for family. We have a 9 year old Pugalier and King Charles Spaniel that I've taken care of since they were puppies. My family also owned a German Shepherd and Labrador mix I knew since young. I've been surrounded by dogs growing up and absolutely love working with them, no matter the breed!

My dog walks go for 30-35 minutes and can be longer at your request. Your pet will get the exercise they need in your area and I can keep up with their pace no problem. I often keep up with seasonal and weather warnings for their safety each month.

For home visits, your dog will get all the attention they deserve during your time away and the full sitting experience! Lots of pets, playing around and affection for your furry friend. You will also get daily updates to ensure your pet is safe and sound. I can also take in bins or mail if needed. The safety of your pet is always a priority and I would want them to have the best time possible while you are away.

I'm a very active person by nature. Dogs that have plenty of energy, such as sheepdogs/herding dogs, give me no issue keeping up with them! I also work well with sensitive pets that display anxious personalities. I'm extremely friendly and would want to earn your pets trust. I guarantee that your dog is in safe hands and treated with care always.

I currently work in Doncaster, Donvale, Mitcham, Templestowe, Warrandyte, Box Hill and surrounding suburbs. Public transport is my main mode of travel. Weekends/holidays may incur an extra fee and can book out fast depending on my schedule. Please contact me in advance to avoid disappointment. Due to time limitations, meet and greets longer than 20 minutes are not ideal.

If you think I am best suited for your job, please feel free to enquire or ask me a question. I look foward to working with you! :)

Michael is extremely conscientious and clearly very experienced. He took excellent care of our puppy and made absolutely sure she was comfortable and happy on her walk.
