Pet care experience
I have always loved animals my whole life, dogs, cats, raccoons, you name it. I grew up with cats my whole life, but dogs always seemed more passionate. When I moved from Chicago to North Carolina, I ended up living close to my sister, whose husband owns two dogs. Since they love to travel, I had the privilege to watch them. I think in the last three years I have taken care of their dogs on roughly 12 different occasions, including a two week trip to Germany. This included feeding, walking them, letting them out, and the unfortunate task of taking poor Lana to the vet when she had digestive issues. Then I got to administer antibiotics. Thank god for peanut butter. I'm a very athletic individual, who loves the outdoors and can go at whatever speed your dog would like.
Reviews
On short notice (<8 hours), I needed to get a dog walker for my daughters year old 'wild child' Roxi who I was watching for a week. This Pit/Boxer mix is a strong puller and I did not think I would be able to safely manage her for her much needed twice daily walks. I sent out requests to several dog walkers on Rover and Michael responded right away saying he was available. What a blessing he turned out to be! He came twice a day and always gave me a 5 minute heads up that he was on his way. He made friends right away with Roxi and she looked forward to his arrival for each visit. Michael was flexible with his times, professional and responsible. If I run into this situation again, I will be sure to check on Michaels availability first. Its always a gamble when you have to rely on online reviews for recommendations, but I assure you that Michael is worth it.
I have two GSD mixes; one with the personality of a guard dog and the other a personality of a lab. Michael was willing to take on the challenge of getting to know my guard dog and after two meet and greets, was safely able to enter our home with no worries. He was very accommodating with my schedule and has consistently come in day by day to let my dogs out.
Michael did a great job sitting for our sweet Lacy! He sent updates and even had to deal with giving her medicine as well as her not being so friendly at first! Appreciated his attentiveness in making our dog feel loved.
