Safety, trust & environment

Safety is a priority. My parents house has a fenced in yard, but also a pool, so I'd always keep a watch when their dogs were out while I was caring for them. For walks, I avoid busy streets and use strong leashes often with harnesses. I am very physically strong from years at the gym, so I can easily handle dogs big or small

Information Michael P. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What's your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What should your pup avoid?

A typical day

I absolutely love going for walks or just hanging out, giving some pets, lovin and some playing. Either way, each day we will stay safe and have great fun! I also make sure to keep in regular contact with you: sending updates and pictures!

This was our second time using Michael to take care of our fur babies and our home. I never worried that things weren’t being taken care of. He sends daily sometimes multiple times a day updates, which is so appreciated. Highly recommend him for you pet sitting needs.

Michael was Great with our lab and cat. Our lab has a lot of anxiety, but is so sweet and she seemed to warm up to Michael during our meet and greet right away. We received multiple updates a day throughout our trip with photos. Our house was in great condition and most of all our fur babies seemed to be well cared for!

Michael was great with our dog and two cats while we were out of town. It was very clear to us that everyone was happy and well cared for. We also loved all the pics and updates. We highly recommend Michael and plan to continue using him to help take care of our crew in the future.

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.
