Mike, the dog whisperer.

Pet care experience

I've owned all types of pets all my life, but I love dogs and dogs love me - small, medium, large, friendly, temperamental - the list goes on. I one day hope to start my own dog sitting business so I can spend all my time doing what I love, hanging with and training dogs. I have been dog-sitting since I was a kid and within the last five years I have pursued it as a subsequent career to my occupation as a Video Producer. I am incredibly responsible, when your pet is with me it is treated like an extension of my family. I can provide references from previous clients.

We are so glad that we had Mike watch our older pup. This was our first time using Rover, and he made the process seamless. He was very responsive throughout the process and even sent us daily photos of their adventures together. We will definitely be using Mike the next time we have dog sitting needs.

Mike is always amazing with our dogs! He pays close attention to them, cares for them and gives us updates on how they're doing. Mike is always flexible with his schedule, responds very quickly and is reasonable with his pricing. Definitely plan to use again!

Michael is great. I have left my dog with him multiple times. He has always had a great time with him.

Michael is an awesome sitter and is super responsive and flexible. I will always look to see if he is available whenever I go on vacation. The pups always are happy!

Information Michael H. would like to know about your pet

If they have any potty issues, food allergies, food aggression and how they interact with dogs and people. We have no breed preference but do like to do meet and greets before anything has been finalized.

A typical day

We are super big on walking the dogs so we often go out on afternoon walks during the week and try to do some hikes on the weekends as well.
