My house is average sized, with a nice fenced yard (20 ft tall fence) all around. The yard has no grass and it has a pool in the middle (around the yard there are plants and soil). Our home is close to a few parks in the area that allow dogs. Our home is also close to a couple of vet clinics in the case that something urgent comes up and we need to visit a professional.

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but i would like the dog to be crate trained. Even though we love all dogs, we prefer pet sitting dogs under 40 lbs. At night, dogs sleep in a crate (please bring your own crate) next to our bed. In addition, I would like to know any medical conditions or allergies, behavior and social patterns, eating habits, or anything else you mind important to disclose. If your dog loves a specific activity, please let me know and we will try to make them happy :)

A typical day

Your dog will have plenty of fun and exercise in my care. We can go on walks in the neighborhood, always of course appropriate for the age and any medical conditions. I love to play fetch and tug of war with them. I can also take them to the dog park with owner approval. Guaranteed that your dog will want to come back!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Michael, and my family and I (two girls 16 and 18 years old that absolutely love all animals) have been making dogs feel right at home in Houston for over 20 years. With both my wife and me working from home, your pup gets constant love, playtime, and attention; no lonely crate days here!

Michael and his family took great care of Rey while I was traveling. Communication was quick and clear, I appreciated his responsiveness. He sent a lot of updates and photos which made me feel at ease. I highly recommend him!

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.
