Mike was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She struggles with separation anxiety, and he went above and beyond to make sure both she and I were comfortable. He kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive, patient, and kind he was with her. By the end of the first day, I could actually see in the photos how relaxed and comfortable she had become, which meant so much to me. I’m incredibly grateful for the care Mike gave her and would absolutely trust him with her again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like their own!

Bart’s home away from home! Michael is our go-to dog sitter for Bart every time we go on a trip. We know Bart will be very well cared for.

Micheal was so kind and took great care of our dog. She was not eating her dry dog food during her stay with him, and he bought wet food to get her to eat!

Michael took great care of our 8 year old lab. I would recommend him and would rebook with him in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

All arriving and departing pups enter and exit through the garage to ensure that the yard and all entryways to our home are locked and secured at all times. Our fenced yard allows your pup regular supervised backyard playtime throughout the day. With an acceptance limit of 4 boarding pups per night, your fur baby gets the chance to make new friends while also getting the individual attention they are accustomed to and deserve!

Pets

A typical day

I generally play fetch in the backyard, and tug-o-war in the house. The best play is when two or more dogs gel, then it's non-stop playtime when I'm home.

I will need to know feeding instructions (how much, how often), meds, and any special care instructions. I require vaccinations and only accept spayed/neutered dogs.
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.
