Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Within my over 5 yrs experience caring for puppers I have cared for them at both my house and at my client's house. I have always maintained a clean environment, personalized care in that I will maintain your rules concerning your dog. Above ALL else I MUST maintain trust with my clients. If you or your dog don't trust me then I can't do my job and worse yet it's usually the dog that suffers in the long run.

Michael is a true dog-lover! He spent three nights here with two dogs - they played, cuddled, did some food training, walked, etc. We came home to very happy pups and a clean house. Magical!

Michael was so great and knowledgeable with my dogs, Stevie and Bean. He was also willing to sit on semi-short notice. The previous sitters I looked into were not reliable and Michael saved the day. Bean has separation anxiety and takes a long time to warm up to people but he was very welcoming to Michael. Michael also gave me updates/pictures which helped in calming my nerves because Bean gets very stressed very easily. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing an experienced sitter.

I’d like to take the time to appreciate Michael for stepping in for us as we had a previous sitter schedule but had an emergency so we were in a bit of a pickle. We did a quick search and found Michael after our due diligence we contacted and did an in home evaluation and we were off to the races. Our pup loved him right away. We did a 5 day trip came back to a happy pup without the tears, not to mention, the daily pictures and updates kept us at ease. Thank you Michael we will use you again.

I strongly recommend Michael D to be a dog walker and a dog sitter for Rover. He has walked my dog for 5 years consistently while I've worked my 12-hour shifts at my job. He has been a loving dog sitter for me while I was out of town at the most for 3 weeks. He is very caring and loving and likes to cuddle with them. Robin B

Any allergies or special dietary needs? Any rules I need to be aware of such as not being allowed on the couch/bed? Any quirks I should be aware of such as eating grass, or any strange behaviors i should look out for? On a scale of 1 - 10 how addicted is your dog to belly rubs? YES that's a serious question lol. The previously mentioned pitbull will NOT go on walks until he has had a satisfactory belly rub...I accidentally started that. I regret nothing
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.
