Information Michael R. would like to know about your pet

Written information is always helpful and appreciated prior to my visits. I will ensure that your animal needs are always met when given proper instructions.

A typical day

I am a fairly active person, so I'll enjoy taking lengthy walks depending on the needs of the dog. I will play fetch, play with them at the dog park, and any other way they like to get their energy out for the day. Cats will always get attention they need. If there are any toys they like to use, or if they just like to sit and be pet, I'll always make sure they receive engagement while I am with them.

Pet care experience

I've always treated my friends and family's pets as my own. My previous roommate's dog, Vegas, has always been my hiking buddy and I would take him on trails whenever I had a free day off. He is my best friend and my photos would make you think Vegas was my dog. My mom's dog, Fenn, is a senior pup and requires a lot of attention and assistance. Whenever I visit home, I'll caretake Fenn while my mom is at work or with her partner. Assisting him with his bladder, cleaning up after messes, giving him bath after accidents, has given me the skills to assist pets with specific needs.

Michael did a wonderful job taking care of our babies! He was great with communication, sent lots of photos, and kept our apartment spotless. This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but after meeting Michael we knew our animals were in good hands and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries!

Michael took great care of Oakley while we were away. This was the first time we had left her for more than just a day or two so Michael sent photos often and kept us up to date on how she was doing the entire time. We knew Oakley was is good hands!

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.
