Safety, trust & environment

I’m comfortable with dogs being loose all the time, or crated as needed. I never like to leave them alone for very long and do my best to avoid that.

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet

Other than special instructions, there's nothing really that I would need to know. As for size, I have pretty extensive experience with dogs from about 20 pounds up to 100lbs+

A typical day

I'm willing to take the pups for runs (short or long), hikes, dog parks, play fetch, etc. There's no real activity that I wouldn't do, as playing with a good dog is one of my favorite things

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs (mostly big) my whole life. Dogs that need to burn off a bunch of energy outside are my favorite. I’ve become the go to dog sitter for my friends and family and always have a great time, so I thought I’d try this out. Right now, I have one old man who doesn’t have the same energy he used to. I love to take dogs on adventures, play with them in the yard, take long walks or runs, or just sit outside on the porch. Whatever your pup needs, I’m in.

We are so grateful to have found Michael! Our energetic golden retriever was happy as could be after a week spent going on adventures with him.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
