Pet care experience

Specializes in exotic pet care

I love animals and I’m happy to help with all of your pet needs! I’ve been around dogs and cats ever since I could walk and I’ve cared for all sorts of animals (i.e., dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) since I was 12 for friends and close family. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with, clean, and help administer medication (i.e., topical, injections, and oral) to their pets. I also have experience caring for older animals who may need extra attention and support. I have a lot of experience in caring for cats since I have two of my own! I also want to highlight that I have great experience with taking care of small and exotic pets, including birds, reptiles and amphibians, and small mammals. I have helped to feed, clean, handle, monitor and adjust temperatures for thermoregulation, and administer medication these animals. I have separate space in my home to help board small pets and reptiles if needed. I currently own two snakes of my own! I’m more than happy to assist you in caring for your pet in or outside of your home! I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you and your pets before being scheduled to care for them 🙂

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to connect with your pet by spending time with them in their environment and giving them time and space to get used to me. I like to know how you care for them so that I can replicate that the best I can! I am currently only offering boarding to small and exotic pets in my home. I have a separate space that I can set up to accommodate all of their needs.

Michael is the literal best. Sends photos and so much nice detail while caring for our kitties. I appreciate him so much! Really helped us have a calm trip knowing they were so well cared for.

Michael is great! He stayed for 3 weeks with our elderly cat and we came home to a clean house and a happy kitty! We couldn’t thank him enough for being available for such a long time and making our trip possible. He sent photos and updates every day we were gone 🥰

Let me know everything you possibly can about your pet ahead of time. Giving your pet the proper care is my top priority so informing me of any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of will be paramount.
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.
