Ratings and reviews
This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy having Michael watch our fur baby. Michael was very patient and flexible with drop off/ pickup times. We would use him again if needed.
Michael seems like a nice guy, but his apartment was so unsanitary I felt bad leaving my dog there for three days. Also, when I arrived to pick my dog up, his crate was out in the front "yard" and was covered in poop and fur. I just hope he didn't make my dog stay in the crate with the poop :( Sadly, would not recommend or use again.
Michael was awesome. He helped me out on short notice and was really realaccommodating. He took great care of my pup and I will absolutely be using Michael again in the future.
I will never hire this person again, and I urge so much caution to others. Incredibly unprofessional, I’m not convinced that he cares one iota about people’s animals. He brought his kids to my house without asking or giving me any sort of heads up. He encouraged me to book with him outside of Rover, which was a huge mistake on my part. He is not capable of following VERY basic instructions for pet care and walks. Promised 20-30 min and she got less than 10. My dog’s name tag was missing and her AirTag was tampered with. I tried to share feedback in person and he was not interested in having a calm conversation about ways to improve. Save yourself the trouble. Completely unreal experience.
Michael has been amazing with Luna. We had a lovely meet and greet right away, he was very accommodating with the schedule and extremely good at communicating during every walk with Luna. He’s also very perceptive and quickly communicated with me that Luna was in a bit of pain during walks which I really appreciated as I thought I could wean her off her meds. Definitely recommend Michael to any paw-parent out there!
Michael was reliable and very nice. Both my dogs loved him! I would definitely book him again for another walk!

Schedule
There’s no better feeling than waking up in the morning with a full day of walking groups of dogs, caring for pups while their owners out of town, and meeting new people ahead of me. Once my day is started I make my rounds gathering up dogs from their homes and taking them for a group walk, or “pack walk”, in the beautiful hills of Marin.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I make each pet feel at home while staying with me. I like to spend time with each dog individually, giving them one on one attention. I love to walk all the dogs together to get some exercise and fresh air a few times a day.
A typical day
I like to take dogs walking around new places, I strive to let the dogs explore as much new terrain as possible. Taking dogs on such great hikes in the area has been a blast lately. As we end our walk, your pups will surely be tired out and ready to relax for the rest of the day!
