Pet care experience

Ready for duty 💩

Hey! I recently moved our family to Rocklin. After taking a 2-year break from Rover to bond with our little one, I'm ready to get back out for walks, visits, or overnight care with your fur friends 🐱🐶. I’ve had one dog-o in my life; Bula who was my childhood pet. I now have my two house cats Milo and Missy, who I love dearly and just might have a little extra love to give to a few new furry friends 🤪 Owning pets is a chore, but the friendship, comfort, and love 💗 is worth all the efforts! I have over 15 years of taking out the duty 💩 serving up scrumptious grub, and giving the best belly rubs! 🤣

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping a watchful eye on pets whether on a walk or at home requires care and attention, especially a friends animal. I am always careful to make sure any pet isn’t let loose, to close the door behind me, watching for unfriendly nearby dogs on walks, hydration, and keeping our curious pets away from potentially harmful places, food, and items in the household. On my watch; your pet is my pet!

Michael is really sweet with Archie and very easy to communicate and work with. Definitely will be using him in the future!

Thank you for taking such good care of the light of my life. My cat felt very safe with you and loved the entire experience. I really appreciated your attention to detail and how you showed enthusiasm and you showed exceptional patience to my detailed list for my cats needs The picture and video updates helped me feel close to my fur baby while I was away. Knowing she was in good hands helped me to sleep peacefully! We will definitely be using you in the near future for our cats boarding ❤️

Michael is a friend of the family and was excellent with my Ruby for 15 years. He watched Ruby on many occasions when we were out of town. Our dog was a very uncommon and difficult breed (Wheaton Terrier). She was very intelligent and athletic but was very stubborn and required special handling. I believe Michael can do well with any other breed.

It would be helpful to know if your dog(s) or cat(s) is not friendly, or would need some warming up before hand. I also like to understand their habits and routines, so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible during my time with them.
