Keen on House Sitting Cats & Dogs

Pet care experience

For the past two decades or more (circa 2001) I have cared for dogs as far north as Alaska as far south as Brazil as far east as France and as far west as Santa Cruz California

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!

Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet

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.

I enjoy getting as much sun and stretch time as possible with your pets. We will romp and play tug or fetch however often you prefer.

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.
