Information Michael B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog requires any special care. I am more than happy to work with parents to make their family members feel comfortable and loved.

A typical day

Running around the yard chasing toys, playing tug of war, belly rubs, the works. The neighborhood is also dog friendly, so there will be plenty of smells when going for walks.

Michael took amazing care of phantom. We were gone for two weeks and he was communicative and sent pictures and videos the whole time. Phantom was as happy as he could be when we picked him up. Phantom has Addisons disease and Michael also took care of his medications with ease as well as monitoring for anything out of the ordinary. We will definitely use 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.
