Dog Lover with Experience

I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we always had two dogs at home, and I took pride in being the one to care for them. Daily walks—at least three times a day—became part of my routine, along with regular trips to the dog park. Over the years, I’ve trained my dogs to do their business outside and to interact well with other dogs and people. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Now, I have my own dog, whom I rescued three years ago, and he’s truly a joy. He’s incredibly sociable and loves being around other dogs. It would make me so happy for him to have some company every now and then!

Dog Walking • Oct 12, 2025

5+ stars. Silvia and Michael are great. Oreo is very shy but felt comfortable quickly with them. Silvia is so patient and sweet and made Oreo like her so so quickly. Love them!!!!

Doggy Day Care • Oct 12, 2025

Michael and his lovely partner greeted us along with their dog Prince. We strolled around getting to know each other before we left Springer with them. Usually Springer is agitated when he back from a sitter, but he was calm and happy after we picked him up. We got photos of our dog’s day, too Very happy with this sitter!

House Sitting • Jun 29, 2025

Michael & Silvia did a wonderful job sitting for our two foster dogs!!! We were a little nervous to leave them for 2 weeks because we've had some not-so-great experiences with Rover sitters in the past (i.e. not following care instructions, leaving the dogs for long periods, coming home to stressed dogs, pee on the rugs, etc.) but we didn't have any issues at all this time. Silvia was responsive, provided consistent updates, photos, daily walks, followed care instructions, and the pups were happy and relaxed when returned home 🤗❤️ Thanks so much Silvia and Michael!
