Information Michael F. would like to know about your pet

I understand that dogs can be creatures of habit and like their routines. Please let me know any preferences, needs, or routines that your dog likes so I can make sure they are comfortable and safe.

A typical day

I love to entertain dogs whether it’s playing with their favorite toy or taking them on a nice, long walk. I live 5 minutes prospect park which provides lots of exploring! After a nice walk, I can give your pet a bath in our building’s pet spa. Additionally, I have a balcony if they would prefer to lay outside and watch the world pass by.

Attentive, Responsible, Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with two dogs, which gave me early, hands-on experience caring for pets and understanding their needs. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and companionship, I learned how important consistency, attention, and affection are in keeping dogs happy and well cared for. In college, I held a recurring dog-sitting role for a goldendoodle, where I was trusted to follow routines, provide reliable care, and ensure the dog felt comfortable and secure while the owner was away. That experience reinforced the importance of dependability and clear communication when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m on Rover because I miss having dogs in my life and enjoy the companionship they bring. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own: showing up on time, following instructions closely, and providing a calm, caring presence you can trust.

Michael was really accommodating to both my schedule and Mouse’s needs! Super communicative, and very nice—and went out of his way to make sure Mouse was comfortable.

Michael was wonderful taking care of our dog Zola. Super outgoing and easy to communicate with. We especially appreciated him making time to come meet Zola and us before his first visit. Would highly recommend!
