Empty Nest Dog Dad

Hi, I’m Mike! If you’re looking for a responsible, mature professional to care for your home and keep your dog’s daily routine perfectly intact while you're away, I would love to help. ​While I am new to the Rover platform, I have over 30 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner. Currently, my wife and I have two incredible Labrador Retrievers who are truly our third and fourth children. Now that our human kids are grown and out of the house, I'm looking to fill some of my free time by doing what I love most—hanging out with dogs and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. ​I specialize in overnight house sitting because I know how much happier and less stressed dogs are when they get to stay in their own environment. Because I’ve raised large, high-energy breeds for decades, I am entirely comfortable managing dogs of all sizes, keeping up with active exercise routines, and maintaining structure. ​When I watch your dog, they aren't just getting a quick check-in; they're getting a companion. I will treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything clean and secure, and treat your pup with the exact same love, safety, and attention I give my own Labs. ​I’m excited to give you total peace of mind on your next trip. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members!

Safety, trust & environment

The big thing for me is to fully understanding your needs and expectations with regards to your dog. Whatever those expectations are, I commit to provide that service and care as if they were my own animals. Our two Labrador Retrievers are my third and fourth child, and I view others' pets as important to them!

Schedule

Working remote from home gives me the opportunity to set my own schedule with with regards to taking care of dogs. I can be available several times throughout each day to drop by for potty breaks, as well as for walks to let them stretch their legs. I'm pretty much available from 7:00 a.m. on, which we can obviously coordinate based on your needs.
