Meet Your Pet's New Best Friend! 🐾

Pet care experience

About Me: I believe that every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized care. I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a devoted companion who understands the language of tails, purrs, and playful barks. Your Pet's Home Away from Home: While my home is quaint, it will be my mission to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure during their stay. From cozy cuddle sessions to energizing playtime, I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each furry friend. Nestled in an Arlington Condo, I have plenty of quiet and safe neighborhood roads and a walking trail for those dogs that love long walks! I also have a dog park not to far away for the more social ones. For the more laid back or anxious pets, my condo remains quiet and clean during the day so they can get some sleep and relaxation in. Why Choose Me? 🌟 Passionate Pet Lover: Animals are my passion, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. 🌈 Safe and Happy Environment: Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. 🤝 Communication is Key: I provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Please feel free to reach out and discuss your pet's preferences, routines, and any special requirements to see if I will be a good fit for both of you! 🐶🐾🐕💕

Michael was an amazing Rover host! Will definitely use again when he’s available / we need a sitter for Max

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my home are my family! As long as I am home, they are free to roam and be comfortable wherever they find comfort. I am often at my desk doing work which allows me to walk them and give attention to them multiple times through the day. If your pet is more shy, they can hangout in the crate if they choose, and the door will remained unlocked if they decide to come say hi! For younger more playful pets, feel free to drop toys off with them and I love keeping them entertained. If they are a little older, or just like relaxing then we can put on some TV and just vibe out.

Information Michael E. would like to know about your pet

1. Please let me know if your pets schedule and if they have any allergies, health concerns, or dietary restrictions. 2. Additionally, their temperament, tolerance of other animals, people, and interaction will be helpful! 3. In case of any emergencies, you can provide the location and phone number of their vet, if they have a dedicated doctor. 4. If your pet has any other quirks, or preferences please let me know!

A typical day

A typical day will start off with a nice walk in the morning around the neighborhood when we get out of bed! I will then make sure they have food and water (and a treat if for being good on the walk of course). Your pet can expect to go outside plenty and have some playtime as well because I love getting distracted from the computer. I have time to walk your pet(s) usually every 2-3 hours, with a longer walk during lunch and after work, and a final walk before we settle down for bed. They of course will be fed according to the schedule you provide, and we will snuggle in the evenings and watch some TV.

I currently work-from-home and find it socially draining. I dog sit occasionally for my girlfriend as well as other friends in the area and I enjoy the reason to get out of the house multiple times a day and walk around the neighborhood! I am free most weeks unless the occasional travel for work pops up.
