While I was a senior in high school, as a 2020 covid graduate, we were forced to be fully online 3/4 of the way through the year. This gave me an opportunity to start professionally dog sitting and learn to incorporate dogs throughout my day! I very quickly realized that I needed a clear schedule to maintain the proper balance between life, chores, dogs and school. As soon as I graduated, I dove right into pet siting. I started my company and had used all of the skills that I had developed over the last few months of my senior year to start maintaining a healthy work and life balance. Pet care is a love and passion of mine and I plan to have a future in all things pet-service. I now pet sit full-time and always make sure to keep my schedule open for all of my clients to book freely as they need. Flexibility is a key factor in pet sitting and thankfully I am always home for the pups.

Safety, trust & environment

As the proud owner of Pawsitive Adventures LLC, the respect and care for each animal that comes through my doors is at the highest priority. What sets me apart from many other caretakers is not only the love that I have for any animal, but it's also the effort that I put into the rest of the job as well. This includes keeping families updated with their pets' day to day routines, their eating and drinking habits, their sleep schedules, and their pets' overall health. At the same time, with having a completely full schedule, I find time to keep the lawn mowed, the house clean, and even find time to eat somewhere in-between all of the daily duties! Having the ability to make accommodations and be really flexible with my hours is something that I am passionate about and am known for. Whatever you need I will try and make it work. It’s a vacation for your pet too, remember! 7 days a week, 24 hours a day I am with the dogs. It’s all about them 😊

A typical day

Walks happen daily around my quiet neighborhood. Sunny days we always have the pools out. We own 3 Different sizes depending on the dynamic and the size of our furry friends. We encourage "Pawsitive" reinforcement during all hours of the day, and night. The dogs are happiest when their humans are too! Even if we have to babytalk our pets, as pet owners, and pet sitters, we do whatever it takes to make them happy. I specialize in creating an environment that will bring the most joy and excitement out of my groups. I love seeing wagging tails in the driveway!!! We provide plenty of treats to reward "Pawsitive" behavior. There is plenty of room to play fetch and run around in my fenced-in backyard. The pets have unlimited furniture access! (Per owner's permission) (Cannot control what happens after everyone's asleep) The dogs typically spend the night under my blankets with me, in my bed. Lots of loves and snuggles included throughout the whole day. Human interaction is just as important as doggy socializing, if not more important. While I completely understand that not every single dog loves to interact and socialize in large groups, I try to match alike personalities together during the day so that each and every dog can feel comforted. In doing so, I find that the stress levels of many dogs that sometimes just like to be alone, are much lower than in your standard facilitated daycare.

Pet care experience

Would love you to review my website! (Viewed best on computer) for extra details and pictures! www(.)pawsitiveadventures(.)net Remove the paranthesis! Rover does not allow advertising however I do not allow booking via my website, it is just for additional information that is easier to review than on the Rover App! My name is Michael, and I am the proud owner of Pawsitive Adventures LLC, dog sitting. At Pawsitive Adventures, your pets will receive nothing but the attention that they desire. I offer services for dogs and cats. I understand that your pet might be high-maintenance, and I have that covered. I have been a pet-owner for 16 years, and a sitter for 10 years. I host mandatory meet and greets so that there is no discrimination involved in choosing the dogs that I host for daycare and sleepovers. Any and all dog breeds are able to come over and spend the day or night. There is plenty of food, treats, and toys to play with, in my large, fenced-in, backyard! I offer constant human interaction, supervision, and affection. I am fortunate enough to be with the fur babies all-day long because I am fully committed to being a full-time pet sitter. Your pets will receive an enhanced supervised stays while having plenty of indoor and outdoor activity in the LARGE, fenced-in backyard. During the day, it is up to the dogs whether they want to spend most of their time outdoors, or relax indoors where there is constant Air conditioning, and places for rest. Inside and out, we provide "pawsitive" reinforcement during every pet's vacation. Each pet has their own personality and quirks, which is an important part of the individualized care that I provide to ensure that the requirements of each pet are perfectly met! Each and every dog that I care for are treated like they are my own. While I do hold my own personal standards high, I make sure that the needs for every dog are met even higher.

We had such a great experience leaving our German Shepherd Dog with Michael while we were away for a week. He sent regular photo and video updates that showed her hanging out with the other dogs, enjoying the pool, and clearly having a great time. It made being away from her so much easier knowing she was happy and in such great hands. When we picked her up, she was so affectionate with him- it was obvious she’d bonded with him and felt safe. He even mentioned how she was protective of him, which totally melted my heart. It’s clear he doesn’t just watch dogs, he connects with them. If you have concerns about leaving your dog to go away, I can honestly say Michael is someone you can trust. He treated our girl like family, and we will definitely be booking with him again.
