Pet care experience

Loving care when you’re not there!

As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. My last two dogs lived to the wonderful ages of 15 and 16, giving me invaluable insight into every stage of a pet’s life. Working from home allows me to provide constant attention, whether it’s for walks, potty breaks, or just companionship. I’m also highly organized and reliable, with reminders set to ensure medications or special care needs are never missed. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands

Mike was great with both dogs. Different breeds and different ages. I requested photos and minimal updates and they seemed very happy when I returned from a weeks long vacation. Will definitely be booking on future events. My pups don’t need anything special, but with Mike working from home it was a nice peace of mind since the pups are in a new setting. You can tell he takes care of my pups.

Schedule

My flexible schedule is perfect for providing attentive and consistent care. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day and night for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. This also means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby for comfort and supervision. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe and caring hands. I prioritize your pet’s well-being by maintaining a secure environment, by keeping doors and gates locked, monitoring them during walks, or ensuring they stick to their normal routine as best as I can. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority, so you can rest assured knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and respect as my own.

A typical day

Engaging care, playful moments, and patient walks to explore all the new smells. I also have chickens in a closed in coop that also deliver great smells and funny looks. (The pets do not go into the coop and the chickens do not exit).

Please let me know if there are any limitations or medications if needed. And what the feeding schedule is if there is one. My four year old son is also in the house, but is very responsive to allowing the pets to be welcoming in the new spaces. He’s just more excited to see new pets from time to time.
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.
