Pet care experience

Will love your pet when you can’t

I have years of experience taking care of my four dogs growing up. Being a flexible and lovable dog lover, I understand different dogs and how to read their body language to better understand them and communicate their needs. I am a self taught dog trainer, using methods that work using both love and mutual respect between myself and your furry family member. My girlfriend, Tiffany helps during doggy day cares and dog boarding and fills when I’m not available to provide walks, bathroom breaks, cuddles and naps. Since we have somewhat different schedules, it gives you a 100% guarantee that one of us will be able to be with your pup the entire day. Whether they are high energy puppies or low energy senior, we look forward to meeting them!

It was my first time using Rover and we have never left our dogs with anyone, but this time it was a adult only trip. We picked Michael and he was wonderful, lots of pictures and letting us know how our fur babies were doing everyday. Will definitely use Michael again.

This is our second time booking with Michael. He took very good care again of our three kitties. Home was clean and despite not asking him to he washed the pet dishes for us so that was nice. Thanks, Michael.

Michael is a huge help with our girl Nala! She is anxious and afraid of most people but took to Michael bc of his patience and experience. Thank you for getting Nala to come out of her shell more during her weekly walks!
