Chill dog dad looking to board.

Pet care experience

About me: Army vet that grew up on my grandparents farm outside Ft. Leonard wood Missouri. My experience with animals and compassion for them is attributed to this, as there wasn't any shortage of dogs and cats around the house because my grandma at one point had rescued over a dozen around the same time. I work a 8:30-4:30 schedule M-F and I don't drink or go out, I generally just stay home and watch documentaries. About Rango(my dog): Rango is an Alaskan Husky (half Siberian/malamute), I raised him since he was 6 months old where I got him in Panama city Florida. Rango generally goes everywhere he is allowed to with me and he loves car rides. Rango has been to the dog park probably over 2000 times, so he is very well mannered around other dogs, he's also lived with 4 other dogs while I was living with roommates before I bought my house. He gets a little annoyed with puppies but he doesn't mean any harm. About the house: I'm a single guy with a decent sized house so I figured I could make a little extra money boarding some dogs. The house is 1300 sq. ft. with a giant fenced in backyard. All my furniture I put blankets on because rango likes to lay on them, so I don't mind dogs getting on them. I also have a big crate I can utilize if recommended by the owner, otherwise I just let the dogs wander the house.

What a wonderful experience! I am a new dog owner so have never had to get a dog sitter before. I am so glad we decided to look on Rover.com for a sitter rather than boarding our pup. We received updates and pictures all week and felt very happy with who we left our dog with. I know she had a great time and was well cared for. I would certainly book with Michael again.

Michael took wonderful care of my little Annie. He treated her as if she was her own dog. She got along great with his dog and she slept with him at night. I received photos and a video of her during her stay. I highly recommend him and will be using him for any future trips I have to take without her.

Michael treats his dog like a person. This is a good thing. He's receptive and pays attention to animals and understands the level that they communicate at. Michael grew up around animals and has that intuitive sense you can only gain from decades of cohabitation. He's disciplined about his dog and does everything necessary to keep him safe and happy. In short Michael puts others before himself and that especially extends to his animals or any animals near him. I believe he would make an extraordinary dog sitter and have asked him in the past to watch my dog while i was on vacation. -James W
