I Love Spending Time With Animals!!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Michael O. I couldn’t imagine life without dogs – they bring me as much comfort as I bring to them. I treat every pooch as if they are my own. My girlfriend and I don’t have kids so we refer to our puppy as our child. I adopted my first dog when I was 10 years old. I actually brought a redbone coonhound home and told my mom I was keeping her. They gave in and said I could keep her. And she was great until she moved in with my stepfather and mom in Florida this past year.But I’ve been a huge dog person ever since she first walked into my life. Although I don’t have professional experience looking after dogs, I have done some occasional pet sitting for family and friends. I like sitting and walking because it allows me to be part of more pups’ lives. My girlfriend and I live in San Antonio in a renovated old home by 90 and Military that we are working on remodeling. We have a fenced-in, and pretty big, backyard. We love our community and stay up-to-date on any news or events through our neighborhood’s Facebook page. The best part of our area is the parks that are close enough to walk to, and plenty of places to explore. My furry guests will love going on walks in the park near my home. I will be the primary caregiver for your fur baby. However, my girlfriend and her dog will be friendly and excited about any animals staying with me. Her puppy loves making new friends! My girlfriend and I enjoy hanging out in our backyard or working on our house. Anything to keep us busy, we both either work or go to school full time but love having this as a way to keep busy.
Reviews
Michael was amazing with our three dogs. We always come back knowing he cared for them as if they were his own. It’s truly a blessing to be able to go out of town and know your dogs are in the best care! Thank you Michael!!!
Michael did an excellent job housesitting for our pets! He was communicative and made regular visits. I appreciated all of the photos and the condition of our house and happiness of our pets when we returned!
Michael was great! My dog warmed up to him instantly. He did a great job caring for my pup while I was in the office. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter!
Another trip with Michael watching our babies and we couldn’t be happier. You can tell how much he cares for them! Will definitely continue to book with him!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for your pets as if they are my own and would love to set up meet and greets to make any pet owner and their pets feel comfortable before I enter the home alone. I send pictures during my stays or visits and can send more or less if you’d like, or you’re on a vacation and would like less communication from me.

Information Michael O. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know about your pet’s: Breed and size, Health condition, Allergies, Activity requirements, Feeding schedule, Favorite things to do as well as any other necessary information for my stay or visit.
A typical day
I work during the day but will stop home on my lunch to spend some time with the pups I’m sitting. When I get back from work, we’ll talk a walk and play with some toys. Then we’ll have dinner, followed by some snuggling up while watching TV. I treat every dog I come into contact as my own and always respect the pet’s routines and habits outlined by my human clients. I also always make sure owners get updates while their fur babies are in my care.

Availability
Currently I work full time with rover being my side gig. That being said I will be able to stop and check on any pets that need it roughly 4 hours into my shift during my lunch. After I get off your pets will have my undivided attention. On my days off of course I am happy to spend as much time as you need with your pets
