I love dogs, What can i say?!

Pet care experience

Hello, my wife and I (crazy about animals) live in a two bedroom home, one room is ours and the other is for our furry friends. your dog/cat is welcome to come stay and play for as long as you want. We have a park nearby that I visit about 3 to 4 times a day. If your dog likes longer walks, I am 1 minute from the trinity trails and love walking along the trails.Your pet will be considered as family and will receive attention as such. please don't hesitate to contact with any questions or concerns. About this sitter: Top notch care for your dog or cat while your away. We will have fun while your away, never ending games of chase and tag or walks down the block. While your away, rest assured that your pet will receive care as if your were right there. your pet and home will be under careful eye and waiting for you when you return. Not only that, but if you have any plants that need watering or mail brought in while you're gone your pet and I will take care of that as well. Why I love dog sitting I've loved /owned dogs since I was a child. 30+ years later that love has only grown more. Meet my pets we also have a cat named Basha. he likes dogs and loves sleeping next to them. he also knows when dogs aren't particularly friendly and retreats to his cat tree when he senses danger. About my yard small patio, no backyard but a dog park is INSIDE my apartment complex. We also have many open areas to enjoy. The trinity trails are only a few minutes away and I know where all the doggy drinking fountains are. If your pooch is used to going to Fort Woof, I go there with my dog every few days and with your permission I will take your dog along with us. My experience administering medication oral meds, topical meds, I feel comfortable administering both. Injections on the other hand, no.

Michael was a very nice man who clearly had a love for animals. The only upset I had was that it was a smoker friendly home (4/20). I, personally, did not like it, but I know some pet owners would not mind. Overall, I probably wouldn't book again with him, just because of my aforementioned comment. However, he really is an outgoing guy and great with dogs!

Michael has pet sit for me 3 times. He is a very charming individual and was good with my pets, however, unfortunately 2 thefts of property have occurred while he was sitting for us. Two mountain bikes were taken from our back yard. Coincidentally, I told him to use our back door to gain entry to our duplex since the front door was known to blow open if not dead bolted. Oh this last visit, we noticed around $50 in quarters gone from our change jug in our living room. I sent Michael a text, telling him of these the missing change and asked to have my key returned. He has not responded, or denied any responsibility, and has not returned my key which I find *very concerning*. I have asked Rover to assist me in getting my key returned, and they said I could have my doors rekeyed under an insurance claim. I only have to pay the first $500 of a deductible before I am reimbursed. I urge anyone who reads this to take great caution when hiring any of Rover's sitters. Hide your money and lock up your valuables. Any current Rover clients should look through their property to see if any valuables have been taken. Apparently Rovers vetting process and background checks are not to be trusted.

Michael, you were awesome! What more can I say? If Tori could speak, she would say the same thing! She loved your treats, your time and your care. I loved all of that, but especially the pictures you snapped while you were hanging out with her. She is a high maintenance dog, but you did it with flying colors. If anyone is interested in having a person care as much about your fur baby, as you do, then, I highly recommend you contact Michael, with Rover right away....you will be so happy you did!!

I prefer to meet you and your dog before hand to get acquainted. But I know sometimes there just isn't enough time in the busy day, so whatever your need I could be the care and attention your pet needs.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Inside my complex there are about 3.5 miles of sidewalks. Not to mention the trinity trails and the park nearby. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Indoors (anywhere they like), if your pet likes its kennel feel free to bring it along. Time I'll spend with your dog as much as possible, I usually give my dog about 4 hours of direct attention (not including walks) a day. your pet will receive the same treatment as mine. Time I'll spend with your dog as much face time as they want. Extra house-sitting services Yes, of course, your pet and I can do those things together and have fun.
