I own my own online business selling vintage comic books. It is a full time profession, but allows me to be in control of my own schedule and hours. I spend a lot of time on a computer, and really miss having the daily responsibility of taking care of a dog. From the recommendation of a friend who walks dog on Rover, I decided I’d like to become a walker in addition to my day to day business.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard on a quiet road, as well as a large fenced field that is perfect for sunny walks! When looking after your animals I will assess the environment prior to pet care to strategize the most efficient and safe way to serve your pets needs. Meet and greets preferred prior to care.

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific issues that need to be addressed prior to caretaking. Medical issues, anger issues, social anxieties etc.

A typical day

I will provide frequent walks, playing and lots of petting and attention to any animals I am working with to make sure they’re comfortable and having fun.

Pet care experience

I got my first family dog, Ted, at age 7 and cared for him up until his passing in 2025. He was just shy of turning 15 years old. He was the best! He lived an exciting life full of love and treats, with a big yard to run around. In the last couple years of his life his needs significantly increased. He began losing his eye sight and hearing, having frequent memory loss, and eventually having frequent accidents, amongst other senior issues. I became very familiar with the needs of a senior animal and always took pride in caring for Ted. He was just as much family to me as anyone else. Throughout Ted’s life, and now after his passing, I have always had a great love for dogs and have repeatedly taken on watching and walking pets for family and friends. I know that not all animals are the same, and that each one requires different care just like people. I will always treat your pet with the utmost respect, and make sure their needs are taken care of.

Michael has had a love for dogs years. He has watched other people's dogs for extended periods, and is very attentive to their needs. He is careful, knowledgeable and a very good dog person! I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a dog walker/caregiver
