Pet care experience

Enthusiastic animal lover, dedicated to care.

I have been a massive dog lover since a child, taking care of my lovely Springer Spaniel for 16 years. I have also helped raise and care for many other family dogs. Dropping in to feed them and let them out. Walking them when owners are away. Going back on my Springer Spaniel Brandy, she has had the best life we could offer, back when she was young and fit she would go out on walks for several hours, swimming in lakes and travelling to new destinations. Now she can't do those things myself and other family members spend a lot of time caring for her.

Amazing from start to finish. Will use regularly. The dogs love him and I feel safe knowing they are being looked after by Michael.

Michael was fantasti! He looked after our Basset Hound like she was his own. Michael sent me regular photos and videos. I will be using Michael again, whenever we need our Polly to be looked after.

Michael was amazing with Cosmo. He thoroughly enjoyed his time there, so much so, he didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend!

Michael’s five star rating is 100% warranted. He took great care of my black Lab Lemmy for five days, ensuring he had plenty of exercise. He was also great at sending daily photos/videos of my boy, which was much appreciated. Thanks Michael - Lemmy looks forward to seeing you again in the New Year!

Dylan had a fantastic day with Michael! He was so well looked after, with lots of playtime. The location is perfect, with a large and secure garden, plenty of space inside and a fun walk nearby, away from roads. Highly recommended!

Michael was great with Lola, got to know her likes and dislikes quickly, very happy and will definitely use him again.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your dog will have access to a large garden all day long. Before accepting a job of looking after pets in their own home I would like make sure I am aware of any risks in the their environment.

A typical day

Our home has a nice big garden with lots of open space to run, roam and play, paddling pools for cooling off. Living next to Cow Lane we have access to the sea wall, marsh land, beach and a small woodland for safe walks.

Before accepting a booking I would like to know your pet's behaviour towards other dogs and animals, the limits they may have when walking such as the distance they can safely travel. Can they swim and are they trained to walk off the lead.
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.
