Michael house-sit for 10 days while we were out and watched our kitty and pup. He was great! Took care of our pets just as if they were his. Great professionalism and communication with photo updates throughout the whole trip so we were comfortable to know they were being cared for. Will definitely hire him again!

Thank you Michael for taking such care of Benny! I appreciated you leaving the house in great condition and answering all my questions/asks for updates while I was away, and for the pictures too. It made me feel much better knowing he was with someone when I couldn't be there.

Thank you for taking great care of our pets and home. I left instructions and everything was done well. Our three dogs and bird looked healthy and happy upon our return. Definitely will be calling you back.

My family came from out of state to visit for the weekend with their dog Nelly. We were nervous to leave the dog alone in a space she wasn't familiar with and concerned she may bark or try to gnaw at the furniture to ease her anxiousness. Michael came to the rescue so we could enjoy a night out! He was attentive, kind and took very good care of Nelly. He even shared photos half way through the night to ensure we knew she was doing well. I'd highly recommend Michael!

He is intelligent as a person and understands emotional intelligence of animals. He’s clear with communication and even better with providing updates. He’s efficient and trustworthy.

Mike was great, he took amazing care of our pets in our home. So many sitters I spoke with didn’t seem to take the task very seriously, but Mike definitely did. It is a huge relief to have him staying with our pets and one less thing to worry about while traveling. Everyone was safe and happy upon our return and our home was just as we left it. Thank you, Mike!

Schedule

Responsibility of pets is something often I enjoy greatly. Hardly a day goes by where I am not up early feeding walking and cleaning up after either my own or someone else’s fur babies. My basic service on Rover includes two feedings per day, two potty breaks (if necessary), one medium range walk (~30mins) depending on weather and one photo update (optional). If you need more services, please state outright so we can adjust the rates accordingly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Michael can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Preferences being towards the smaller (hound) breeds and even felines tend to inspire me the most. I love needy whippets or anything uniquely mixed bred.
