About Mike

Hi! My name is Mike, and I am a friendly and passionate animal lover. I am dedicated and committed to making my time with your fur friends a positive experience for them, and you.

I grew up in the countryside and have experience in living with many different types of animals, including gooses, ducks, chickens, rabbits, ox, and dogs, and currently have a golden retriever of my own. I enjoy interacting with animals.

I am a very trustable and reliable person and always put on top pet safety, being nice to them, and letting them have fun while delivering pet-sitting service like yours is mine. I know how important this is to every pet owner like myself.

*** I offer Meet & Greet for free ***

Walks include:

  • 30-45 minute walks (longer walks can be arranged for an extra charge)

  • Options: Take him/her to a dog park, off-leash park, or just a general walk around the streets

  • Please tell me what type of speed/where your dog(s) like to walk so you and your pet will be satisfied and happy after the walk

    • Home Visits include:

    All animals – feed and water +

    • Dogs: Spend time playing with the dog and taking him/her out on a short walk – 10-20 minutes (book a walk along with the house visit if longer walks are required)

    • Puppies: Clean up messes made by puppies

    • Small pets: Tidy cages

    • I can also water the garden, take out the bins, and bring in the mail if needed

      • Day Care includes:

      • Indoor access – the best place to be on a hot day

      • Outdoor access – perfect for play as we have a huge backyard (over 200 m2) with places to smell, run, rest or sleep on

      • A big covered area - between indoor and outdoor offers one more option for your dog to choose

      • Lots of love, cuddles and play

      • Playtime with my golden retriever

      • Emergency bookings are also accepted as long as I am available

      • Puppies/dogs that are not house trained will require an extra fee of $20 to stay for doggy daycare

        • Pick up and drop offs:

        • I can offer to pick up and drop offs for $10 per pick up/drop off, within a distance of 5km.

          • Please note:

          • I can administer any oral medication that needs to be given to your pet

          • I DO NOT accept unvaccinated dogs for all services

          • Puppies/dogs that are not house trained will require an extra fee of $20 to stay for doggy daycare

          • I only accept home visits that are no more than a 5 km or a 10-minute drive away from my home (approximately)

          • We can take photos of your fur babies on daycare, home visits, and walks if needed (please mention during booking)

            • ***I aim to let your pet be safe, be loved, and have fun. I also offer Meet & Greet for free.***

            Looking forward to meeting you and your fur friends!

            Mike did a great job looking after our two bunnies whilst we got away for 2 nights. We only adopted our buns three weeks earlier and they are not yet fully toilet trained. Mike did a great job cleaning up their mess and put our minds at ease with visit updates and photos. Very happy to find someone reliable nearby.
