About Michael

28 male, young professional based in Sydney, i'm an introverted homebody who's passionate about studying, fitness, personal growth, and of course, animals!

An avid animal lover of all shapes and sizes, with countless years of experience with house, animal and baby sitting since the age of 16.

My current goal is to save for a deposit, pay off my HECS, and to one day have a an animal companion of my own! 

I love to provide frequent updates to owners, mostly in the form of photos, videos, and short text stories on the adventures of your animals, where applicable. 

I have a well-rounded experience with cats, dogs, and farm animals of many shapes, sizes and special needs including but not limited to diabetic (injection), vision impaired, surgical recoveries, and strict diets.

I have an abundance of patience with animals, and don't mind getting my hands dirty when required. 

Respectful of others privacy, property and security, my aim is to not create any extra work, so I maintain a tidy household as though I was never there. 

I live in Sydney, and will gladly come to you for a meet and greet, or a phone call, prior to any commitments.

As a general practice I take my own, and by extension your, personal information and physical security very seriously, so I only take and share photos when vetted by the owners, and with written permission.

House and security conscious, I scrupulously double-check locks on doors, windows and other points of egress.

House Sitting
Annette, 2024-09-03

Michael communicated very well from the start and right throughout the house sit. It was lovely and comforting to receive regular updates and photos of all my pets.

On my return I came back to a happy fur tribe ( 4 of them😊) and an extremely clean and tidy home.

Michael is a fantastic sitter and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a house and pet sitter. I would love to have Michael house sit for me again also.

House Sitting
Alexandra, 2024-08-12

Michael is our favourite sitter thus far and we have been using Pawshake since our 8 year old staffy was 8 weeks old.

Michael sent us updates throughout the day, left the house cleaner than we left it, our staffy was exhausted when we got home as Michael took extra time to deal with pulling and correcting behaviours.

Hands down best sitter we have ever had (and we have had many!)
