Experienced, Caring Rover Sitter :)
Pet care experience
My name is Michael and I started watching dogs through Rover in 2013. I love to bond with people's awesome pets. I love to get out of the house with walks and shared time in my backyard. I love to be outside gardening and dogs often do too! I form real bonds with the dogs, but don't worry, I've returned them all :) I work from home Monday and Friday, in office five hours Tuesday to Thursday, but my partner is home Tuesdays as well. I have a pool in my backyard so you know, and lots of plants and artificial turf which most dogs love! Why I love dog sitting Dogs are the best company and are always happy to see you. I also get to meet great people (the owners)! About my yard I have a fenced backyard that goes all the way around the perimeter of my house. There is an unfenced pool in my backyard but I'm outside typically if the dogs are and can see the backyard easily. I'm a very short walk to Selleh park which is lovely for dogs and walks. Please message me if you have any questions.
Reviews
Michael did a great job and Winnie seemed very happy!
Michael did a fantastic job with our dogs! They were very comfortable with him and seemed so relaxed when we returned home. He sent picture updates at every visit and even moved our recycling bin out for us. We will definitely be using him next time we go out of town.
Michael was so great for our girl Lady. He really took great care of her and it was so nice not to worry about her while we were out of town. I would highly suggest Michael for your dog, we will be back for sure!
Michael was great! He kept us updated on how Lucy was doing and made our first time being away from Lucy anxiety-free. We could tell that she enjoyed her stay with Michael, and we would definitely have her stay with him again if we go out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat pets like my own! They have even sleep with me if they are used to sleeping with you. If I’m coming to your home, I’m very respectful and can help water your plants and even do yard work if you need as well, I love gardening and landscape.
Home
Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know feeding schedules, walking schedules, if you allow them on furniture (because I do, but of course I respect your wishes and training), where they sleep and how they interact with other dogs. All this information helps me to keep a dog on their regular schedules and make the transition easier for them. I've never had a dog not get comfortable, my home is their home.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks: My neighborhood is called Alameda Park and is very dog friendly and completely residential. It is near the corner of Broadway and McClintock. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever they are used to sleeping. I don't mind dogs in my bed at all, but if they have their own bed, I don't want to disrupt their normal patterns. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home so I am virtually home all the time. I don't want to be in the heat so I don't expect they do either. Make sure to find a sitter who won't just put your dog outside.

I work from home MF and in office TuWedThur but only five hours each day and my partners schedule is random so pets are never alone very long if at all.
