Safety, trust & environment

I like to ideally meet pets with their owner prior to starting visits to help them get comfortable with me to ensure my first visit goes as smooth as possible. I am as touchy feely with animals as their comfort level allows.

Information Michael "Brody" M. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds of dogs and really like to get familiar with what they enjoy doing, as well as if they are shy or rescues to know to be more sensitive in getting to know them.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs to the park like Alice’s Dog Park. I can be as fun and active as they enjoy, from running to playing fetch.

Pet care experience

I’ve spent 6 years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Maltese to Huskies, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. I recently relocated to Pasadena and work from home as a freelance podcast producer, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and last-minute needs, including weekends. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether that means active play, calm companionship, or giving them space to warm up at their own pace. I’m happy to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so both you and your pet feel completely comfortable before the first visit. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

Brody took great care of Joey while we were away. He communicated well, kept Joey on his schedule and the house was tidy when we arrived home. Would definitely recommend Brody and we will use him again.

Brody was amazing with our 2 dogs Kota and Emi. He sent photos and took Kota to the beach each day to walk her. She loved it. Emi loved all the attention. He also left the house just as clean as when we left. We already have him booked for the next trip!

Brody is fantastic with my little Gaia! He is very gentle with her and she adores Brody. So happy to have Brody dog sit and will continue to use him.

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.
