Pet care experience

The furry loves of our lives!

Not only have I always been a caretaker for my younger siblings, and relatives, and I’ve also had the pleasure of being a caretaker for my own cats and dogs throughout my life. To me, I mention this because our pets are our family. I treat them as such.

Safety, trust & environment

It may sound overly simple, but I treat not just animals but others and the space of others with the same if not greater respect I do for my own.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 18, 2026

Thank you Michael for taking care of my fur baby today!! She had a wonderful day with you walking to Dolores park. The way she was bouncing around at pickup- I can tell she had a much better day with you than I had at work :). We look forward to more rover days if you will have her and those crazy zoomies again.

Dog Walking • Jan 12, 2023

Excellent sitter! My pup loved Michael. He was attentive and took care of Sushi and her needs during nasty SF weather. Michael went the extra mile to ensure she was comfortable. Thanks so much for your help and hope to see you again soon!

My cat is usually at least a little curious about people who visit (she's not the type to hide under the bed), but she was instantly drawn to Michael the second he walked in the door for the first meeting and said, "Hiiii, mamas!" (That's not even her name, but the tone of voice instantly made her walk over, rub against his leg, and sit down next to him like they had been best pals for years.) Michael dropped in to take care of her twice a day for a week while I was traveling and sent me pictures of my cat on his lap as well as her giving him a "kiss". I've also seen photos and videos of friends of his whose pets he's looked after and he clearly has a knack for befriending any 4-legged fur ball he comes across. I would absolutely have him look after her again if/when needed.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work part time as a driver so my schedule can be flexible, to work around your schedule, if need be. I also don’t travel far for holidays, which means I am usually available around then as well.

Michael can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
The more info I can have ahead of time, the better! Obviously the most important is general temperament and how I can expect them to react to other people and dogs, unfamiliar places, and how to keep them safe, both physically and emotionally.
