My neighborhood is very pet friendly and safe. There is a small park near by and it’s great for going on long walks with your furry friends.

Information Michael D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the energy level of the dog. As well as the eating schedule. It is also nice to know any special/specific training and commands they know.

A typical day

I am only able to offer house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits. I love to take dogs on a walk or even a run if they enjoy that.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is a Michael (he/him/his). I recently moved to the College Park/Winter Park area. I’ve always been a dog lover and everyone tells me I’m the cat whisperer because their cats love me. I am the go to pet sitter for all my family and friends. I am able to offer house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits. I am not able to offer boarding in my home.

Michael was wonderful! He took such great care of our Dog Branch! Excellent communication and he sent sweet pictures everyday of Branch with an update. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was being taken care of and loved! He stayed in our home and took excellent care of Branch and the house was immaculate when we arrived home! Thank you Michael for such great care of our dog Branch! We will be happy to have him watch and care for him in the future!

This is the third time that Michael has watched our dogs, and he is always very responsive and takes great care of our dogs and our home. This time in particular, Michael was extremely understanding as our travel plans changed last minute due to canceled flights, and his flexibility saved our weekend.

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.
