Who’s hanging out with me tonight?

Pet care experience

I am a long-time dog lover. I have worked on horse ranches with dogs and was raised with many dogs. My friends and family call me the "pet whisperer" as I am always in tune to pets and intuitively know what they need. I have a love and passion for ALL animals. I can walk, bathe and play with your pet, and can give you peace of mind that they are in good hands, well cared for and provided with love and compassion. I can also work with your pet on basic commands and any other training goals you may have. I also have experience with senior dogs and their special needs.

Very happy with my service! Michael did a great job looking after my 5 year old Pomeranian. He showed great care and attentiveness for a such a last minute appointment. One of my best experience with a rover caretaker so far. Can't recommended him enough will definitely be back!

Michael has cared for my dogs for a few years and he is our go-to caregiver. My dogs absolutely love him, and don’t even notice that we are leaving. He takes care of our home and gives them the best care possible. I have had him administer medication, help them with their basic training and have given specific and detailed instructions which have always been followed meticulously. I feel such a sense of relief that when I am gone, my dogs are enjoying the same care and love that i provide. I have 4 dogs and he he handles all of their needs with ease and compassion. Also, he takes care of my property, which is a 5-acre parcel, and I always come home to my home looking better than I left it. I highly recommend Michael for any of your pets.

Michael was so great with my 5 month old white lab! She can be a lot to handle but he did great! He is very attentive and responsible. They went on walks and even to Starbucks. I could tell she bonded with him when I got him which made me so happy! He was also very responsive and would send update pictures which are always great. I will definitely be asking him to come and stay with her again.

Michael is the dog sitter for my 12-year-old border collie. Michael comes to my house and stays there because my dog does not like other dogs. He walks her several times a day and feeds her as instructed. When I come home you can't even tell that someone has been there the house is as I left it. Michael is a true dog lover having four of his own and at least two of them I know are rescues. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael. Your pets would be in safe hands.

Safety, trust & environment

The in-home care I provide is always above and beyond my client's expectations. I will administer any medications and special care, exactly to your specifications, and will care for your home as it were mine. Always leaving it exactly the way I found it (if not better). I will provide my undivided attention to your pet, making sure they are happy and having a fun time, while at the same time, getting their necessary rest and nourishment. I can care for your pet in your home, and can also care for a smaller pet in my home. I currently live in a motorhome, so larger dogs would not be ideal. I am trustworthy, and can provide references from current and past clients upon request.

Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs shots, medication, or anything special, it would be great to know! Also, if there is any situation that your pet is not comfortable with, that would be very helpful.

A typical day

I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, or if staying with me, we can walk in a safe, and enjoyable atmosphere with lots of smells for your pup. Whether we are on a walk to Starbucks for a puppachino, or playing tug of war with their favorite toy, your pet will get plenty of exercise and love and we will both enjoy doing a variety of activities.
