Safety, trust & environment

I prefer caretaking at a client’s home so the pet is more comfortable in their environment, and I can accommodate to their needs and yours. It also gives the opportunity to use their toys at home and keep them entertained.

Information Michael A. would like to know about your pet

Alert me about allergies, Dos and don’ts on how you want your pet to be treated, behavior and tendencies. Overall the more you inform me and communicate with me the better the experience for all of us will be. I pride myself in the little things so please share as much as you need.

A typical day

My typical days consist of getting up around 5-6AM and going for a morning walk before heading to work on weekdays, I can and will make visits until 10AM. On the weekend, I do wake up a tad later around 7-8AM and prefer to be outdoors and go for walks or go to the park and play with some friends or the pets I take care of. My apartment complex features large open spaces, trails for walking, and has a well-maintained dog park! Then spend the rest of the day hanging back home unless the pet is super active like me and needs more outside time.

Michael did a great job with our 3 dogs. He also did very well with our senior dog. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and they were very comfortable with him. I will definitely use Michael again.

I highly recommend Michael as a pet caregiver. They have a natural love for animals and are incredibly dedicated to their well-being. I've seen firsthand how he goes above and beyond to ensure my pets were not only cared for but also loved and nurtured. I have two pets that he has taken care of numerous times, and will continue to trust in his care. His attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals make them an exceptional choice for anyone seeking trustworthy pet care. Your pets will be in great hands with him.

Michael was an amazing pet sitter for my cat, Rigatoni! He kept me updated with pictures and messages, and went above and beyond to ensure Rigatoni felt comfortable and loved. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter on Rover!

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.
