Pet care experience

Reliable, loving pet care

I don't just "watch" pets. I create a fun, enriching environment tailored to their personalities. Whether it's long walks, play sessions, training reinforcement, or calm snuggle time, I make sure your pet gets the activity, attention, and engagement they deserve. I quickly pick up on each animal's unique cues and needs, and my goal is always to reduce stress, encourage confidence, and keep them happy until you're home.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, they're treated like a part of the family. I provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for outdoor play. I stick closely to each pet's usual routine - feeding times, walks, play, potty breaks, and any special instructions - so they feel safe, secure, and settled.

Boarding • Feb 17, 2026

Mike was great. This was our first time using him. During our meet and greet he was very friendly and asked a bunch of questions about our dog and how we take care of him so he could do the same. During his time taking care of our dog he sent a bunch of pictures and kept me up to date on how our pup was doing. At pickup, our dog seemed in no rush to leave. He made a new friend with Mike's dog. Mike said he takes in only one guest dog at a time and that's something important to us and he held true to that. Next time we need a dog sitter Mike will be the first person we go to.

Mike took incredible care of our dog while we were away. He treated him like part of the family, sent updates, and made sure he felt safe and loved. We couldn't ask for a more reliable, trustworthy sitter.

Our pup can be anxious, but Mike was patient, gentle, and so attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands.”

Schedule

I currently am a stay-at-home dad so I uniquely have the time and attention needed to focus on your best friend. I am home consistently, which means your pet gets reliable attention, frequent check-ins, and a calm, stable environment. My daily routine already ibcludes structured time for outdoor activities, neighborhood walks, and play-perfect opportunities to keep pets active, mentally stimulated, and on a predictable schedule.

Because of living in a home with another resident dog and a toddler, I don't believe I am the best sitter for a special needs dog.
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.
