Information Michael & MArk D. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know which medication(s) or special requirements are applicable and we will be happy to take care of it. We also want to know which vet you normally go to, in case something unexpected happens.

A typical day

In the morning, we start with letting the dogs out in the yard for urgent business. Then we have breakfast and the morning cuddling routine. Next up, we take the dogs for a walk along the bayou. Depending on the energy level of the dogs and the weather, the walks range from 10 to 45 minutes. When we return home, it's time for a snack and a nap. Depending on the weather and his/her preference, the patio and the (secured) yard are places to hang out when the dog bed or cool floor become boring. Around 5pm we venture on a second walk, followed by dinner and cuddles in front of the tv. Most of our guests retire around 9pm, soon to be followed by us.

Michael and Mark were the best Rover sitters ever! They arranged a meet up and were very detailed in asking questions about my dog. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog in their hands. They sent pictures and updates all weekend! Their dogs were so sweet and played so well with mine. They went above and beyond on taking care of Alfie. They took him on lots of walks, car rides, and had plenty of snuggle time. I will definitely be using them for all my future dog watching needs. Thank you both!!

Michael & Mark took fantastic care of our Frenchie, Harry. Harry tends to be slow to warm up be he took to them right away and we could tell he felt very comfortable with them, probably because of the attention and affection he received. They also sent us plenty of great pictures throughout his stay to show what he was up to! We’ll definitely use them again for our furchild needs.

Michael is naturally a very caring person, and has a magical way to connect with dogs. When my wife and I needed some one to care our 2 years old Yorkiepoo, Woojoo, Michael was able to connect and communicate with Woojoo almost immediately and gave her the sense of comfort in the new environment. During his care, Woojoo enjoyed the walk, went to a park and played. Michael also took pictures of Woojoo's activities throughout the day, and communicated with us on-going basis proactively. And we appreciated it very much.

I am thrilled to recommend Michael as a loving pet sitter. Michael has a genuine passion for animals, and he cares for my furry friends with a lot of love and fun, going above and beyond to ensure their comfort, happiness, and safety. Michael always made sure to spend quality time playing and engaging with my pets. His ability to anticipate their needs and provide a nurturing environment truly set my mind at ease while I was away. Beyond the basics of pet care, Michael displayed an innate understanding of animal behavior and was quick to notice any signs of distress or illness. He would promptly seek veterinary care when needed and communicate openly with me about any concerns. What truly makes Michael stand out is the love and affection he shows towards animals. They form an instant bond, and it is heartwarming to witness the joy my pets have in his presence. It is evident that Michael genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and values the special connection they share with their human companions. If you are searching for a dependable, caring, and responsible pet caregiver, I wholeheartedly endorse Michael. He will not only meet your pet's basic needs but also shower them with love, exercise, and care, making them feel like a cherished part of the family. I am grateful to have had Michael care for my pet, and I am confident he will exceed your expectations as well.
