Avid dog lover! Ready to go!!

I've always been a dog guy. Most of my friends say I'm one step away from being a dog whisperer! 😂 I have had dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed helping others with their dogs. I have helped many friends train their dogs. I am continually relied upon to watch dogs for friends and family, as well. Any and every type of breed.

My pup loves Michael! He gives her all the love and attention she craves when we’re gone, so I know she’s happy. We’re so fortunate to have found him!

I had the best experience with Michael. I needed a sitter on super short notice and he quickly responded. He was very accommodating and I could tell my pup liked him immediately. He sent photos of my dog while he was watching him and communicated promptly and openly. He saved our thanksgiving vacation on short notice. Could not have been better.

Michael took awesome care of Cassady, our 9 year old Irish water spaniel while we travelled for 2 1/2 weeks. He kept us updated regularly on her status and was flexible and accommodating to her needs. For example, she basically glued herself to him during that time, and he was not at all bothered by it and in fact it sounds like she even managed to sleep in his bed. She’s like that.! She does not do well with storms and he was so thoughtful and caring of her during these weather events during her stay. If we have a chance to travel again in the future, we will definitely reach out to Michael and ask him to care for Cassady again

We went to Tennessee to visit family, and needed a place for our Dixie girl to stay. We didn't want to board her in a vet so we started looking at Rover. Michael was our first pick, and I'm glad he was. We met up a few days earlier to see how she would do. She did great and I booked the appointment for the following week. I was glad to have her at a place that someone was there to play with her and give her the attention she needed, and that had some friends for her as well. She seemed to have a great time, as Michael provided photos and daily updates throughout her stay. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and when I picked her up she barley recognized me and it seemed like she had made herself at home with in her short stay. I highly recommend Michael for anyone new needing a sitter for your 4 legged family member! We know who to call for the next time we go out of town! Thank You Michael!!

Took care of both of my doodles so my girlfriend and I could attend a wedding and we couldn’t be happier! He sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend and we really enjoyed leaving our fireballs with Mike !

Schedule

I currently work 4 days a week, so I have a lot of excess time to spend with any dog I am sitting or boarding. I have a great neighborhood for walking and live 2 minutes from a dog park.

I’m up early every day walking dogs. They are my coffee! I’m home for lunch everyday to give any dogs I’m watching more attention, as well. We walk a few miles every night to ensure the pups get their exercise in!! My daughters and I are very interactive with the pups everyday.
