Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. I build my schedule around the animals I’m caring for — making sure they have consistent feeding times, walks, play, companionship, and downtime. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique rhythm and needs, whether that means early-morning walks, midday check-ins, or quiet evening snuggles. I also stay in regular communication with owners, providing updates and photos so they feel connected and reassured. Caring for animals has been part of my life for over 30 years, so incorporating their needs into my day feels second nature.

Safety, trust & environment

My approach to pet care is centered on safety, consistency, and compassion. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while their family is away. I also respect the home as if it were my own, keeping things tidy and secure.

Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medical needs, training cues, likes and dislikes, and any behaviors or anxieties. This allows me to keep their day familiar, comfortable, and stress-free.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality, including walks, playtime, enrichment games, outdoor time, cuddles, and quiet companionship. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of attention and engagement throughout the day.

You’ll receive regular updates, and you can relax knowing your pets — and your home — are in caring, reliable hands.

Michael did a great job house and pet sitting for us. We have three dogs and three chickens and they were all happy and healthy when we got home. The house was neat and Michael even washed his sheets and made his bed backup so it was ready to go. There was a significant storm while we were away and he took the initiative to secure anything outside that may be damaged. He sent daily updates along with pictures. He was very responsive to any messages we sent him. He even took our dachshund on a field trip to Home Depot so he wouldn’t be alone when his two sisters were off on a hike with our friend. We would definitely ask Michael to sit for us again.

I am so grateful and fortunate to have found Michael to help me feel safe and secure knowing my little man is in the best hands! 5 stars are just not enough!!! Thank you again and I would recommend him for anyone who needs a reliable and respectful home sit for your fur babies.

Michael was absolutely amazing! He sent daily updates, pictures and videos of the doggies. We could tell from the pictures and videos how at ease all three of them were with Michael watching and caring for them. Which was very important for our 16-year-old Yorkie. Michael was also a very tidy and clean Rover. We will definitely be booking Michael again in the future. He’s the best!

Michael was great with our pup and we are so thankful he was available on short notice! Gunner was happy and relaxed when we got home and we can tell he was so well cared for. Michael was professional and sent us updates and pictures to share the adventures of the day. I would highly recommend Michael if you need overnight sitting for your beloved pet.

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.
