Information Michael H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and I’m sure that I can accommodate. You can rest easy knowing that your dog is having a safe and fun weekend.

A typical day

I generally go on four walks per day, early morning, noon, afternoon, and evening, plus playtime in between. If your dog loves being social we'll spend time at Truitt dog park, otherwise we'll be wandering all around midtown.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a corgi and lived with a lab, and I have experience watching all types of dogs. I have been on Rover since 2016, and I have met so many great friends here!

Roo had a great weekend with Michael! He was super communicative and sent pictures throughout. I will happily have him watch her again!

We had an amazing experience boarding our dog Larry with Michael. Larry struggles with separation anxiety, but Michael made him feel completely at home and cared for him with such patience and kindness. Knowing Larry was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family wedding weekend. He provided updates and photos of their walks and time chilling, which provided us with so much comfort during the weekend. We’re so grateful for the exceptional care Michael provided and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter! Thank you, Michael!

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.
