Pet care experience

For the love of paws!

🐾 Hi, I’m Mike! With 10+ years of experience caring for pets, I’m here to give your furry friends all the love they deserve. 🐕‍🦺 From energetic Aussies to majestic Huskies—and even my uncle's pack of 13 greyhounds—I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes. 🏡 I have 2 kids (ages 8 & 5) who love animals! We enjoy running and outdoor playtime with dogs and always ensure your pet feels at home. Down-to-earth, punctual, and communicative—reach out with any questions! 🐾✨

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My approach to caring for pets is all about meeting their individual needs and creating a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, I ensure they have plenty of space, attention, and enrichment—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet spot to relax. I stick to their usual routines, like feeding schedules and any special care they need. When I’m in a client’s home, I take extra care to respect their space and follow their instructions closely. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and happy, whether that means engaging with them or just being a calming presence.

Michael is reliable and caring with my two large dogs. He goes out of his way to accommodate their peculiar habits, and is an excellent communicator.

Michael has been fantastic! He was so kind as I messed up my bookings (a few times) when I started needing a dog walker more frequently due to job changes! He is our regular:) Puppies are safe and happy!

Because of the meet and greet that Michael did before first walk, our dog, Joy, was eager to leave on a walk with him on the booked walk. Returned happy and rested well after the walk. Joy and owners very happy with Michael

Mike watched my dog Cooper for a few days when we were living on the same street. He did an amazing job! Cooper had a great time and absolutely loves Mike—so much so that he would bark to be let out to say hi to Mike any time he could see him through the window. Would highly recommend!

I have a detailed form to collect all of your pet's information. If you choose to hire me as your sitter, I kindly request that it be completed during our initial meet-and-greet.
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.
