About: Growing up, my wife has taken care of many dogs both at home and professionally at vet offices. In 2019, She opened up an at home boarding services where we had experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages. We cared for a lot of older senior dogs as well as blind and hearing impaired canines. I am almost always available. Pet care just about naturally fits into my core daily routine. I'm an early riser and always have been, my cat rarely lets me sleep in. I have a large fenced yard and a shaded porch with a fan in the backyard. I am willing to allow trained and non-aggressive dogs stay in my home, if that's what the dog or the client might like or prefer. Your dogs will be free to roam but supervised. Free walks no matter the length of stay, just bring a leash and collar your dogs love.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and livestock. My career began as a veterinary technician, and I continue to hold a certified veterinary technician (CVT) license. With a strong foundation in animal health, I am highly skilled in administering medications and medical therapies prescribed by veterinarians, ensuring pets receive expert care. My passion for animal welfare led me to work in animal rescue, where I handled dogs of all temperaments, including shy, nervous, and behaviorally challenged rescue dogs. This experience gave me extensive knowledge in dog rehabilitation and behavioral training, helping even the most timid or reactive dogs build confidence and trust. I later transitioned into Animal Cruelty investigations, where I successfully forwarded hundreds of cases for criminal prosecution, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. My dedication to thorough investigations resulted in convictions in every single case I worked on, holding abusers accountable and securing justice for animals. However, due to the emotional toll of witnessing such cruelty, I chose to focus on working with pet owners who treat their animals as cherished family members. I am passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and personalized care for every pet. Whether walking, sitting, or transporting, I prioritize safety first, strictly following walking guidelines and practicing canine first aid when necessary. I am also experienced in handling pets with special medical or behavioral needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. When you entrust your pet to my care, you’re choosing a highly experienced and skilled professional with a deep commitment to their well-being. What makes me different from other sitters? ✅ Veterinary Expertise: As a certified veterinary technician (CVT), I am qualified to administer medications and medical therapies prescribed by a veterinarian. Whether your pet requires oral medication, injections, or special treatments, they will be in expert hands. ✅ Puppy Training & Senior Pet Care: I have extensive experience in puppy training, helping young dogs learn essential skills and positive behaviors. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care, catering to their specific needs, including administering medications and offering extra comfort and support. ✅ Behavioral Rehabilitation: With a background in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I specialize in working with shy, nervous, and behaviorally challenged dogs. I have the skills and patience needed to help them build confidence and trust. ✅ Canine First Aid & Safety: Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I am trained in canine first aid and follow strict safety protocols during walks and playtime, giving you peace of mind. When you choose me, you’re choosing reliable, professional, and compassionate care from someone who treats your pet like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 Providing exceptional care for pets isn’t just part of my job—it’s part of my daily and weekly routine. I dedicate my time to ensuring pets receive personalized attention, whether through scheduled walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet-sitting stays. • Morning & Evening Walks/Visits: I start and end my day with dedicated walks or home visits, ensuring pets receive regular exercise, potty breaks, and companionship. • Midday Drop-Ins: I’m available for midday visits to provide potty breaks, playtime, or administer medications, keeping pets comfortable while their owners are at work. • Daily Updates: I make it a priority to send photos and videos to keep you informed and connected with your pet. • Flexible Scheduling: Whether you need regular walks, occasional drop-ins, or extended pet sitting, I work around your schedule to provide consistent, reliable care.

About: I have over thirty years of experience training and caring for dogs as well as various other animals, from hamsters to horses. I have also worked in veterinary hospitals which I believe adds value to my service. I can monitor your pets health and administer prescribed medications per you or your veterinarian’s instructions, while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is my unique combination of skills and experiences. Not only am I skilled in providing standard pet care routines, but I also specialize in training puppies, helping them develop good behavior from an early age. I also have experience working with timid or shy animals. My expertise in senior pet care allows me to cater to the specific needs of older pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My commitment to open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly, further distinguishes me as a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. My personalized approach and dedication to meeting the individual needs of each pet makes me an exceptional choice for pet owners seeking high-quality and attentive care for their furry companions. I specialize in caring for your pets on their schedules. So, whether you’re at work, and your pet just needs a potty break, or you’re out of town on vacation, you can be sure your fur babies are getting the best care and attention possible. As a caregiver, pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. It involves scheduled activities such as feeding, walking, playtime, and grooming, all tailored to the individual needs of each pet I'm responsible for. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners, providing them with updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any concerns that may arise. Ensuring that pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship is a consistent and important aspect of my routine. Having someone reliable care for your pets in the comfort of your own home, instead of transporting them to an unfamiliar boarding facility, has been shown to minimize stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client's home, there are several important aspects for me to consider: 1. ** Feeding and Watering:** Ensure that the pets are fed according to their schedule and dietary requirements. Provide fresh water at all times. 2. **Medications:** Administer any necessary medications as instructed by the client or veterinarian. 3. **Exercise:** Take the pets for regular walks or outdoor playtime to meet their exercise needs and provide mental stimulation. 4. **Toilet Breaks:** Let the pets out for bathroom breaks and clean up after them as needed. 5. **Play and Interaction:** Engage in interactive play sessions, provide toys, and offer companionship to prevent boredom and loneliness. 6. **Grooming Services Available:** Brushing, bathing, and grooming as necessary to maintain their coat and overall hygiene. 7. **Health Monitoring:** Keep an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort and inform the owner promptly if anything seems off. 8. **Housekeeping:** Ensure the pet's living area is clean and tidy, including cleaning up any accidents or messes. 9. **Security:** Make sure the home is secure, with gates, fences, and doors properly closed to prevent the pets from escaping. 10. **Communication:** Maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any concerns that arise. 11. **Emergency Preparedness:** Be aware of emergency contacts, the location of the nearest veterinary clinic, and any specific instructions for emergencies. Every pet is unique, so it's crucial for me to follow the owner's instructions and cater to the specific needs and routines of each pet I am caring for.

About: *I do work from home and can work from your home. My schedule is very flexible!* Let’s face it, everyone on Rover loves animals (or else we wouldn't be here...right?) We all know how much our animals mean to us. They are our family; our soulmates and best friends for life. What happens when emergencies arise, or we want to use that PTO at work. Or, what happens if you just need help? I am here to help you and your fur babies! Although you may be nervous reaching out to others regarding your animals, rest assured, I understand. For my entire life, I had family and friends who would help me watch my dogs. I didn't have to rely on a stranger for anything. If I was going on vacation, I would call my mom for help. If I needed someone to do drop in visits if I stayed late at work, I would call my friend who lived down the road. Not until recently have I begun to reach out to others for help with my fur babies. Before I moved to Texas, I did my first cross country move 26 hours away from my hometown in Minnesota to Spring Hill Florida, where I knew absolutely no one and had no support. If it wasn't for Rover, I wouldn't have had any help with pet sitting. After meeting an incredible Rover sitter, I have decided to extend my assistance to anyone in need. I had such an incredible experience with my Rover sitter, and I hope I can give the same to others and their pets. My love for animals doesn't stop with just myself and my animals, it goes beyond to others and their animals. There has NEVER been a time where I didn't go above and beyond for an animal in need. At the end of 2022, I saw a little blue heeler on the euthanasia list in Texas. After 36 hours straight of pleading and making calls to rescues and fosters, I was able to arrange a short term foster for him; and then 2 weekends later I drove 16 hours one way to bring him home (keep in mind this was well before we made the move to Texas. At the time I knew no one in Texas. It was a challenge working from states away trying to coordinate a foster and a rescue!) He now has his own spot in our bed every night where he no longer has to worry about being abandoned. That following spring, I coordinated a foster/rescue of another blue heeler. I arranged transportation from Texas to Mississippi, and then I helped get him from Mississippi to Florida, where he eventually got adopted to a family in south Florida. I am very involved with rescue work, here in Florida and in Texas and Minnesota. It has been a lifelong passion of mine to help those in need (and not just animals as well.) In addition to my passion and sacrifice for animals, I have many years of experience with many different species of animals (farm animals, small and large breed animals, many different breeds of dogs and feline friends) I have professional training and animal handling experience. During my time in college, I worked at the local Petsmart and gained valuable training through their training internship. I have had an internship with my hometown large animal veterinarian and received training on medication and handling. I am very fortunate to have work from home employment which in turn, allows me to have a very flexible schedule! I can take longer breaks, start and finish when it is best for me, and can work on weekends if needed. I can work from your home, which allows me to stay for longer visits. This has been verified with my employer before becoming a sitter; working from somewhere other than my own home will not be an issue. Earning trust is very important to me. Letting a dog become familiar with you is where I first start. Whether it be letting them come to you on their own terms, or playing with them, whatever they need to see that I'm not a threat, I provide. Keeping control of animals outside of their home is essential for safety and even trust. If the yard is not fenced in, a leash is always something I use. When inside, I make sure the pet feels at home and is comfortable. Trust and environment go hand in hand. If the dog is in a stressful and fearful environment, trust won't grow. The right environment is essential for the trust to sprout; and it is my duty to provide a safe environment right from the start with any animal.

“Michael did great with my dogs ! We hired him for daily walks, and he was super punctual every day. I have a young husky and an old Pomeranian, so the group couldn’t be more different. Even with the differences, Michael was great! He took the husky on quick runs, and made sure they were tired enough before taking them back home. My dogs loved him. I would recommend his dog walking service to anyone.”
