Michael, is an amazing dog sitter. He kept me informed on how the dogs were doing each time he dropped by. He sent me videos and photos of my “puppies.” My dogs instantly liked him and thoroughly enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him to take care of your pets and I will be using him again.

Michael is the best pet sitter I have ever had. My dogs absolutely adore him! He pays attention to detail to their somewhat complicated feeding schedule and routine. He lets the dogs out more than I ask him to when he stays at the house and when I come back home from trips the house is immaculate and everything is in order. My dogs always look forward to seeing him and I would recommend Michael to everyone!

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.
