'dog whisperer' and animal lover

Pet care experience

Hi, thanks for clicking! Just FYI, I'm currently working full-time from about 9AM to 3PM but I'm more than happy to provide drop-in visits or house sitting during evenings and weekends if that works for you and your pet. I love dogs and dogs love me! They tend to gravitate to me. I think we get each other. I have had experience with handling giant breeds (I once had a beautiful harlequin Great Dane named Libby,) as well as plenty of experience playing with and hanging out with doggos and cats of all sizes. No dog(or cat!) is happy being alone all day, so lets hangout. We'll both get to stretch our legs and have a great time doing it. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I'm always excited for the opportunity to meet new pets!

At the last minute, my husband and I both realized that we thought the other was handling pet care arrangements for our out of town trip. Luckily we found Rover.com and Michael. Michael is in our neighborhood and stopped by to introduce himself and go over instructions in person. He was amazing. He posted pics of the cats, kept us up to date on how our pets were, and just was outstanding. Sometimes it can be stressful leaving your pets behind but not this time. We've honestly never been so happy and felt more confident about a pet sitter.

Michael took care of our 16 year old cat for a week, and we could tell when we got home that she was well cared for. We got pictures sent during the visits and it was very reassuring that she was in good hands. He also checked on our house plants and brought in the mail. Thank you rover.com!!

He's wonderful! So sweet with our puppy and keeps in contact during his visits. He's on time and overall, just great. Wonderful service!
