Pet care experience

I’ll baby your pets like my own!

I’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. I started pet sitting as a teenager and have owned pets for most of my life, primarily dogs. After retiring, I decided to try my hand at pet sitting services.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to pet-sit the dogs in the owner’s home. I feel it disrupts the pets’ schedule the least, and keeps them on their regular routine as far as feeding and bathroom schedule.

Michael has watched our two cats and two dogs on several occasions. He does a wonderful job caring for them and always keeps us informed on how things are going. Our dogs require a few different medications and he asked appropriate questions and administered meds perfectly. He has always managed the high energy of our one dog with a calm, patient demeanor. We feel confident in saying your pets are in good hands with Michael. Would definitely recommend.

Just let me know if your pets have any special needs. I will be happy to accommodate. Feeding schedules and any necessary medications, I can accommodate.
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.
