Information Michael F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs or care instructions for your pet. From taking specific routes to modifying the pace of a walk, or from playing with special toys and paying attention to specific health issues, it is important for me to know what works best with your pet.

A typical day

Helping your dog or cat stay active during my care is important to me. I know how important physical and mental engagement is for pets to remain relaxed and comfortable when you are away.

Genuine care for animals

Pet care experience

I have been a caregiver for animals from a very young age. Over the years, I have had a wide assortment of pets: Dogs, cats, fish, turtles, snakes, hamsters, bunnies and more! I have completed many dog handling courses through SF-SPCA and Oakland-SPCA, including an intensive course for reactive dogs after adopting a large breed, reactive dog from SF-SPCA. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Early morning and late afternoons work best. But, we can work with you to accommodate any schedule. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have helped others with their pets when they are on vacation or away from the home. In fact, it was probably my first job as a teenager.

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.
