On a mission to meet all the dogs

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by dogs as a child and was raised alongside a yellow lab un-ironically named Buddy. I've been a professional dog walker and pet sitter for two years and it's work that I truly love. I've recently started serving at a restaurant and am looking to dog-sit and dog-walk part time because I miss being around dogs. I am patient and fun-loving and love dogs of all sizes and ages. Experienced in helping train puppies as well as dealing with temperamental or skittish dogs.

Michael spent 10 days with our dog, Cami, in late September and everything went great! This was our first trip since we adopted Cami and Michael definitely helped to make it less stressful as we knew Cami was in good hands. (She probably got even more attention than when we're home with her!) Cami is not good with other dogs and Michael makes sure not to let her get into any situations that could cause problems (a couple of our neighbors commented to us that he does a good job with her). Michael kept us updated daily and it was great to have someone staying at the house to pick up mail, etc. as well. We'll definitely have Michael back for our next trip as well as for dog walking!

Michael was awesome. He is very conscientious. Sent us lots of pictures of Scruffy and was a wonderful find. We will definitely use him again. Thanks Rover.com

I can't say enough great things about Michael! His personality and accommodation were top notch. Most importantly, my dog was a huge fan. This was my first time using Rover, but it certainly won't be the last. Nothing beats the peace of mind that comes with a dog sitter like Michael. I was kept up to date with texts, photos and even a video! Thank you Rover and Michael for taking such great care of me and Hudson. My experience went above and beyond my expectations.
