Pet care experience

Hi there! My wife and I both work from home in College Area, so we are an ideal match for someone looking for a long-term solution to their dog walks/drop-in needs! Our house is 1 mile from the SDSU campus, and we walk our dog about 3-4 miles 6 times a week. We use Rover's app that will email/text you the details of your dog's walk/drop-in, including bathroom breaks, notes, GPS route tracking, and pictures. Dogs have always been a part of our lives, and having both been volunteers in the past, we're well aware of the balance needed for a dog to live a healthy DOG (not human) life. Providing our dog a balanced life is one of the reasons we adjusted our schedules at work, so we wouldn't have to leave Cabby all cooped up while we were gone for 9+ hours a day. We'd love to talk to you about your dog walking/drop-in needs, any questions you'd have for us, and of course to talk about your dog in particular. Rest assured, if there's someone who's going to love your dog like you would, you've come to the right place! About this sitter: We've always been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. We've both also volunteered at different dog shelters in Michigan, Illinois, and California. Why I love dog sitting: My family got our first dog when I was just 2 years old. I've had at least one dog in my family ever since. Meet my pets: Brookie! See my profile for more information.

Mike does a great job, no complaints at all. Will continue to book him whenever we are traveling and he's available.

While I haven't actually met Mike in person, I've never felt more comfortable having somebody walk my dog for me on a daily basis while I'm stuck at work during my busy season. He is super reliable, dependable, and gives great reports on how Sammy did on his walks. He is a great communicator, easy to work with, and very responsive. Sammy gives him two paws up!

Mike has always been great with my pup, Mac. He's been communicative and been able to come walk last-minute. Highly recommend!

Mike was great with my pup, Mac! He was accommodating and communicative, sending me many pictures and updates of their walk. Highly recommended!

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.
