Pet care experience

former SPCA volunteer; animal lover

My name is Miguel J. and I have grown up with 2-3 dogs in my household my entire life. In that time I have gained experience in grooming, walking, feeding and general caring for all dog sizes (Ranging from a miniature Yorkshire terrier to an adult chocolate Labrador). Additionally, I have a year and a half experience at the SPCA volunteering as a dog care attendant. During my time at the SPCA I cleaned all indoor/outdoor kennels, prepared and fed all dogs, and walked the dogs. I interact and play with dogs on a daily basis and anyone who knows me knows that I enjoy being around animals and love taking care and having fun with them. I am patient, compassionate, and can’t wait to care for your pet.

I am from Quebec and passing though Corner Brook during my travels. I sent a request to Miguel the same day, and he was able to accommodate us and keep my Rosie while I went out for a good meal. Great communication, updates and super sweet! Thank you :)

House Sitting • Sep 17, 2020

Miguel and my dog (Brute) got along greatly! He was also very polite, clean and kept me up to date about how Brute had been doing. Very easy communication and was very accommodating with scheduling. Would definitely recommend Miguel and I will be asking for his Brutesitting service again in the future.

Miguel was a volunteer here at the SPCA St. John's for dog care and dog walking on Sunday mornings. Miguel was a very reliable volunteer who we could always count on to come in for his shift and to take care of all our dogs. He always took amazing care of the dogs here at the shelter and was a huge help with everything. He was entrusted to deal with any difficult dogs that came into our facility once they had been assessed by a staff member. During his time volunteering here he interacted with many different types of dogs and had no issues with any of them. Miguel is an amazing person and I would highly recommend him for this.

Miguel is very reliable, experienced and attentive when it comes to looking after dogs, whether his own or the pets of others. I would highly recommend Miguel as a dog sitter to anyone looking for the peace of mind that their pet will be well taken care of.

I would like to know the dogs temperament, feeding instructions and any other special care instructions. A meet and greet before any appointment to evaluate the compatibility between sitter and pet.
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.
