Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors. It's always fun getting to know new dogs, but it's made easier when I get a good sense for their personality ahead of time.

A typical day

I genuinely enjoy playing with animals and taking dogs out for walks. I live very close to a park and usually walk with my pet friends over there.

Pet care experience

With years of experience pet sitting, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—quiet, loud, anxious, and super friendly. Each animal has a unique personality, and I love building trust to make them feel at home. By the end of every stay, we’re always the best of buds! My husband and I are total dog lovers who would love to welcome your pup into our home. We have a big, safe backyard for dogs to roam and play, with a front fence for added security. Your animal(s) would be the only ones staying with us. We're also very close to Cahill Park, which is where we enjoy taking the dogs that we sit. Plus, my husband works from home 100% of the time, so your furry friend will always have someone with them for company, care, and belly rubs! We enjoy going on walks and making sure every dog gets plenty of attention and exercise. Whether your pup loves to play, lounge, or explore, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. Let us know how we can help care for your pup — we’d love to meet them!

Michael and Kris were amazing sitters! Thanks for taking care of my two little seniors and for having such an amazing space for them to relax and enjoy.

We can tell Hank was very well cared for during his time with Michael. We'd for sure book with him again!

Michael and his husband took great care of our dog Gertie, who was boarded in their home. Got daily pictures and she had a great time.

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.
