Pet care experience

Experienced and Responsible Dog-Dad

I raised a Pomeranian who lived until 12 years old and passed away last year. His name was Wolph and he truly taught me how to be a loving parent who shows patience, responsibility, and genuine care. I'd love to get active with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I fostered two dogs in the past year and have dog-sat for friends and family for the last 8 years.

To whom it may concern, I’ve known Michael for about 18 years now and I can confidently say that he might love dogs more than his closest friends. I don’t think our relationship would have lasted these many years if it hadn’t been for my family dog, Ddori, who he had always treated as his own. Many times, Michael and I would hang out and he’d always insist that I bring Ddori and Ddori would love him just as much, running up to him and bombarding him with licks. Michael was also always very caring of his own dog, Wolph, who was always full of life. Michael always made sure Wolph was well fed, properly groomed and diligently exercised with him. Wolph was always in good spirits and always showed love to those that came around, showing that he came from a loving home. In all seriousness, Michael has always been a great friend who’s been caring, thoughtful and hardworking and that definitely shows in the way he loves any dog that he may encounter. I know that he would do a great job with Rover and even if there may be some more difficult dogs to work with, I know that he will do his best to work well with them and make them feel the love that’s he’s always been able to show to the other pets and people that are in his life.

Michael did an amazing job dogsitting my dog Lavi for a week! Lavi can be pretty high-maintenance, but Michael was responsible, reliable, and great at communicating throughout the stay. He regularly sent photos and updates, which gave me so much reassurance while I was away. I was so happy to see how comfortable and happy Lavi was when I returned. I would absolutely trust Michael with my pets again. Thanks Mike!

I’ve personally seen Mike foster two dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Jindo, and he was an incredibly responsible and loving caregiver. Both dogs were active and needed plenty of exercise, and Mike made sure to walk them at least three times a day and give them the attention and care they needed. He is also a great trainer—patient, consistent, and attentive to each dog’s needs. Most importantly, Mike genuinely loves dogs. Whenever he sees my English Bulldogs, they immediately get excited to see him, and he always gives them so much affection and attention. I would absolutely trust Mike with any pet and highly recommend him as a caring, responsible, and dependable pet caregiver.

Schedule

I am a part-time student at the moment and doing part-time work remotely. Most of the week I am home besides the occasional groceries and whatnot. I also have a roommate who is also a responsible pet-owner back at home.
