Pet care experience

When you need a Dr. Doolittle...

I was raised around dogs and cats my whole life, my mother was an animal lover and it rubbed off on me at a very early age, I have been called Dr. Doolittle by friends, and people who know me. Small business owner, doing outside manual labor, but I am getting older now and am looking for a more relaxed, soul satisfying way to make money to pay the bills, and since I have a heart for animals, I figure I'd give working for Rover a shot. I know it is considered "gig work", but I would like to try to make a career out of it. Thank you for giving me a chance to provide professional, quality service to you and your pet. Have a wonderful day.

Michael loves animals very much. He treats them like family and has a sense of calmness with them. Animals also feels safe around Michael, they sense safety around him. He has patience and nurturing skills and instinctly knows how to care for animals. He would be very professional at taking care of animals.

Michael is the BEST friend an animal could ever have. People who know him call him Doolittle because he talks to the animals and they understand him. It has been said more than once that he is the alpha of the dog pack and must have some canine in his DNA. He has cared for a friend's handicapped dog and helped her get around and go potty. He has volunteered at the local wildlife rescue and cared for many wild animals. Anyone who loves their pets would be privileged to have him look after their fur babies. He is attuned to them and they to him. Your dogs will tell other dogs about him and how much he is one of them (in all the good ways). To say that he truly loves animals would be a gross understatement. There is nobody else on this planet I would trust with my dogs more than I do him. Great guy!
