pets are pure, very cat friendly ❤️

Pet care experience

i love animals so much! i also have pretty extensive care knowledge on most animals! i myself have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 2 hamsters and 2 snakes! so i can take care of pretty much anyone! i grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve just become a cat safe haven, cats are always welcome and i have many trees. My dogs are picky about the dogs they like, unfortunately. i’m very genuine and i want nothing but the best for your fur baby! I worked in animal welfare for 3 years, including a Vet Tech position, i’ve met every kind of dog you can think of ! I’ve been taking care of friends and family pets for many years and have been with Rover for over 3. :) I would absolutely love to meet you and your pet(s) and help out!

Michael is the #1 sitter that cares for our pets anytime we go out of town. She always does an excellent job. I highly recommend her services.

I am late on this review, but I want to make sure that I do give a shoutout to Michael. She was great with our fur babies and kept our plants alive! I recommend her for anyone look for someone who is looking for a great pet sitter!

i live in a 2 bedroom apartment! There’s a baby-gated off area where cats can escape to :) my cats are from 2-10 years old and typically all very cat friendly (they've gotten pretty good having hospitality for cat guest) My two dogs are large senior ladies, the most recent addition is a deaf rescue and she’s let cats smack her in the face without flinching 😅 She’s very good and my other dog just gets a little too excited about a new friend. I’ll usually release your cat in an empty room so they can smell all the smells and slowly get introduced, within 24 hours they typically settle :)

Information Michael J. would like to know about your pet

I don’t think there’s any dog i would mind sitting! Vaccines and sterilization are good to know, and if they have any allergies so I can bring treats!

A typical day

For cats boarding, they get to join the routine of my other cats :) Multiple small feedings throughout the day and attention whenever they want. Trees, Toys, and bird watching available. Dogs/Cats/Other I’m caring for will typically get check ins 2-3 times a day! (Depending on location, and if I have a migraine which has made me do some 2am visits) Typical routine of breakfast followed by walks/potty then play, or brushing, or cuddling on the couch. I’ll head out and repeat, always cleaning any messes along the way and keeping the pet parent updated!
