Pet care experience

Home full time/ vet tech experience

I went to Sanford brown institute in Fort Lauderdale and graduated at the top of my class as a veterinary technician and worked in the field at the Family Pet and Medical Center for two years. I currently work for UPS very early mornings and would love to supplement that with my passion for animals by being a dog walker since I’ve had animals my whole life and love everything about them. I’m home for the vast majority of the day from 9am onwards. Very flexible. Available weekdays after 9:30 am until 9pm, also available weekends for dog boarding. I work part time early mornings at UPS and will answer calls/texts quickly and promptly. I’m very friendly/dependable and looking for more clients to join my new clientele. Have a large fenced in yard in a large 3 bedroom home in a very safe community. There’s also tradewinds Park nearby which is great for dog walking. I have a lab/coonhound mix and she’s very friendly with any and all dogs.

Michael has taken care of my dog a few times now and everytime I know my dog is in great hands! He is communicative, accommodating when possible and a very kind personal overall. I get updates and pictures every so often and when I get my Taco back he is happier than ever. I am very happy with Michael services. Book in advance so you know he had spots available.

micheal is amazing!! he was the first and only person i’ve worked with on rover, and was very skeptical but he treats my fur baby with love. i’m always contacting him last minute and is still able to accommodate me, and check in with pictures throughout the boarding. 10/10 won’t regret booking with him !!

This was the best rover experience I’ve ever had! He was super accommodating and so good with my very high energy dog. Highly recommend!

Michael did a great job caring for Mika. He listened to my concerns about her food. I will definitely use him again for future bookings.

Pets

A typical day

There’s two large parks within 5 and 15 minutes walking distance from my house in a very safe neighborhood . Also I have a fenced in backyard that’s great for exercise, especially if your dog likes playing with others (mine), or he/she can use the backyard solo and I can play with your dog, fetch, frisbee, etc. can even watch tv on the couch if your dog is into that, or if your dog has preferences as to activities please let me know ;)

0 to 15 lbs

I have 2 years vet tech experience and have experience with mostly all types of dogs as I’ve worked with hundreds over the last several years . I love any and all dogs and have no preferences.
