Dog and cat lover extraordinaire

Pet care experience

I am a devoted pet owner and adore my fish and two kitties, Penny and Kaylee (named after Joss Whedon characters), more than I can say. I have been a dog walker and cat sitter since June of 2016. In that time I have gone from liking dogs to LOVING dogs! I have learned more than I can describe about how to help encourage good behaviors and discourage bad ones, and how to safely handle a variety of dogs and cats with a variety of needs and temperaments. As of April 2018 I have compiled 65 REVIEWS on Rover, all of them FIVE STARS. This is because I am determined to listen to whatever needs you and your pet have and will do whatever I can to accommodate them. Every owner wants a different kind of care for their pet and every pet has different needs. If you have a high energy pet that loves to be run around, count me in. If your pet prefers lazy walks or relaxed cuddles on the couch with belly rubs, we can do that too. I have no qualms letting a dog or cat lick my face to his or her heart's content. Dogs and cats are such social creatures and I am committed to making sure they get the love and attention they need and deserve while you are away.

Michael was very reliable and took great care of our dog, Grinch. We will use him as much as possible and refer him to anyone. Thanks, Michael!

Michael was patient and understanding about my antisocial, sometimes aggressive rescue cat. His daily reports and photos and occasional videos made me confident that both he and the cat were comfortable while I was gone for six days. Thank you!
