Doggy Day Care • Jul 24, 2026

Michael was great with my dog and made the whole experience easy. He was easy to communicate with, always punctual, and took my dog’s special care needs seriously. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog was genuinely excited to see him every day, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in Michael’s care. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Michael made sure my dog Abraham lived his best life while we were away. He was communicative, prompt, and gave great updates while watching Abraham. He was evidently very attentive to my dog's needs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Michael.

Michael took care of my dog for 9 days and took a great care of her. She came home happy and healthy. Will use him again in the future.

Schedule

I am currently working a hybrid work schedule, but when I am working from home my schedule is pretty flexible so I have plenty of free time to watch and take care of some lovable dogs.

It would be great to know how active they are and how much they need to be walked. Also their feeding time and any other useful info.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
