Highlights
Pet care experience
I am available all week
I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michael was great and very responsive. This is my second time having him watch my dogs and I would absolutely do a third!
We downloaded the Rover app as an alternative to using a kennel because of the high prices, and honestly, we were a bit skeptical at first. But within just a few hours, we connected with Michael — and everything changed. After reading his reviews, we scheduled a meet‑and‑greet to see how our dog would react. Our dog took to him immediately, which made the decision easy. We booked Michael for two walks a day for seven days while we were on vacation and set up a lockbox so he could access our home. Michael was caring, compassionate, and genuinely loving toward our dog. It was clear he went the extra mile every single day. We came home to a happy, well‑cared‑for pup — and we saved a ton compared to boarding. Thank you, Mike. You’re amazing.
Great experience with Michael, he’s very reliable and took care of my pup. He also kept in communication with me the entire time.
Usually available and flexible to support us and Romeos needs.
Michael has been clutch for me two times now and I really appreciate his promptness and service!
Michael was so great helping me out at the last minute when I got stuck away from home. He was patient especially when he found my dog had ripped open a bunch of of beef jerky and made sure to let me know asap! The criminal dog survived and Michael save my butt.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
Pets
A typical day
I’m an athletic person so I like to turn just about anything into a work out, with your pet they will definitely have fun going on walks running around the park with me, and exploring the neighborhood.
