Safety, trust & environment

Animals are family and important to their owners, they deserve to be treated well. My priority is their safety and happiness. I put my full effort into respecting their boundaries and earning trust over time. Take a look at my photos to see all of the pets I have cared for.

Information Anthony M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your animal reacts to strangers or other animals outside, they could have a high prey drive or be animal aggressive. A list of proper actions to take is helpful. Dogs of all sizes are okay for me. I’m 6’2 & 245 lbs. which helps me handle them pulling on a leash. If your pet needs any medication; is older; or has any special needs; a written and detailed explanation on what needs to be done is helpful.

A typical day

I like to walk animals in areas they find comfortable, calming, or exciting. Their favorite toys are always a necessity for playing outside or inside. Chew toys, wands, lasers, brushes, and treats are always great options to have provided. I write a detailed summary of my stay and take lots of great photos!

Pets

I’m a cat AND a dog person.

Pet care experience

I find a huge joy in interacting with animals and so does my partner. I’m not afraid of taking time to comfort an animal who has fear or anxiety towards strangers. I grew up with cats, dogs, and small mammals at a young age. All of my pets had unique personalities and needed different levels of care. I currently have two guinea pigs and a cat named Shoki, take a look at their profiles too if you’d like! I’m 27 years old and my biggest personal quality is empathy. I’ve also been told I have a relaxed demeanor.

Anthony was truly a lifesaver for our family. During a time when we really needed support, he went above and beyond in every way. His compassion and patience stood out immediately, especially in the way he took the time to build trust with our dogs who needed a little extra confidence boost. It wasn’t just a job to him! His communication is always clear and consistent, and the regular updates gives us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, he treated our puppers like they were his own, showing them love and attention. We’re incredibly grateful for Anthony and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy caretaker for their furbabies.

Anthony is one of my cats' favorite sitters! He is kind, reliable, and consistent. He does not hesitate to ask questions or reach out with notes/observations. Anthony cared for our guys while they were both under the weather. One had an ear infection that needed to be treated. I was confident that I was leaving them in good hands and plan to hire him again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
