Pet care experience

15+ Years of Trusted Pet Care!

For over 15 years, I’ve been the trusted companion for pets of all shapes and sizes—offering belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of love while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, petting and brushing sessions, or keeping up with special care routines, I treat every furry friend like family. With decades of experience and a true passion for animals, you can leave your pet in my care with complete peace of mind. Because to me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong love.

Michael has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for my King Charles Cavalier, Lola! Whether it’s for a weekend or an extended trip, I know Lola is in the best hands with him. From the moment we met, Michael’s warm and friendly nature put both me and Lola at ease. She adores him—always wagging her tail excitedly when Lola is being dropped off. He’s incredibly attentive, sending regular updates and cute photos that reassure me she’s happy and well looked after. What really stands out is how much Michael goes above and beyond. He treats Lola like his own, ensuring she gets plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles (which she thrives on!). I never worry when I’m away because I know she’s not just being cared for—she’s having a little vacation of her own! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, kind, and genuinely wonderful dog sitter, Michael is the one. Lola and I couldn’t recommend him more highly! **10/10!** 🐾 Alex L.

Michael is a huge pet lover and treats all dogs under his care as if they were his own babies. I've had him walk and even take my dog for the weekend while i was out of town and i slept easy knowing he was under Michaels care. I knew he was getting all the love and attention that I would be giving to him. He is always on time and great with communicating! 10/10 would recommend to any dog owner!

Schedule

I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your extended family members. I’m available for day time walks, as needed, and full boardings during the week, after 3pm, and most weekends. I am flexible with the boarding times as well so if you need me earlier, I’m sure we can work something out.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard about 1/4 of an acre for your family member to stretch their legs and run around. I have one friendly mini schnauzer, Molly, that I am the proud owner of. I can easily crate your dog if needed or if your furry pal needs some time alone I have plenty of space within my home that they are allowed to freely roam. Sometimes this is needed from first meetings because, not unlike people, dogs may take time to get acclimated to one another. I do require a first meet before agreeing to take on new clients for the safety of myself, Molly and my home.

Pets

A typical day

When I pet-sit your dog, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and fun! I’ll take them on walks tailored to their energy level, ensuring they get the exercise they need. Playtime is a must—whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or their favorite toys. I’ll also stick to their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, and follow any special care instructions. If they love cuddles, I’m happy to oblige! Plus, I’ll send you updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities!

We must have one meet and greet that’s a billable service. You will need to book a 30 minute dog walk. I will come to your home on our first meet to get acquainted with your dog on their home turf, once completed we can then coordinate the schedules for care at my home if you require pet sitting services
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.
