Pet care experience

I love dogs and pets of all sizes!

I've been a dog person all my life. I have a 15 month 85 lb Great Dane/Hound mix, previously several pitty and lab mixes. My schedule is fairly open, so I have time to take the best care of your 4 or 2 legged love ones when you're away or need the extra time. I make sure to update you expeditiously throughout the stay with pictures, updates and going ons. I have experience administering medicines to dogs and cats. I've given cats pills and injections. My previous pup was diabetic, so I'm very experienced with administering glucose, pills, testing etc. I've been with Rover for over 6+ years and have 34 reviews with a 4.9 stars. I'm available for walks, overnights and drops in's as needed. I love playing with dogs of all sizes ranging from puppies up to 100+. I look forward to meeting you and your 4 legged critters. I like to do meet and greets a couple days ahead, if possible. And we'll take your dog/s out on a walk during our introduction for your piece of mind, so you can rest assured that your dog or cat is in great hands.

Michael was awesome. I was able to book him in a pinch after another sitter had to cancel. He is calm, experienced, and Porter was well cared for while we were gone. He communicated with me daily 2-3x day, asked questions if they came up and dealt with a power outage that lasted about 20 hours. It rained a large part of the time we were gone and he diligently walked Porter in the rain. When we got home everything was in order. Dog towels were washed and the house was as we left it. We have used him in the past and will continue to use his services in the future for our dog. We were out of the country and knowing we had a responsible and capable dog sitter was essential.

Michael is great with our dogs! He has a natural calm demeanor which helps our keep our anxious pups calm as well! We have used him twice and will continue to use him when he is available for us! He’s always kind and respectful of our home as well when he is here!

He was reliable, friendly and comfortable caring for our active pup. Our pup had an unexpected complication which required Michael to check his incision and apply an ointment. He was happy to assist and did not seem unsettled by this development. I would use him again!

This was my second time having Michael over for drop in visits. Once again, he was great. He had great communication, sent photo updates and was on time to give my cat his medication. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again any time I need help with our pets.

Mine was perfect on his stay. He got back to us quickly when it was time to book. He was a calm and collected guy, exactly who you want with three dogs ranging in age from 11 years to 8 months. He sent us plenty of pictures and had no problem staying at our house. Our puppies were happy and healthy when we got home and we definitely plan on using him again for any future plans.

I like to do a meet and greet with you and your pet/s at least a day or two before your departure. This way we can see if we are a good fit and we can go over all the essential details such as feeding, any special medications or restrictions and to go over your pets routine and get a tour of the house, going over areas that your pets will have access to.
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.
