Information Mike M. would like to know about your pet

I'm currently in search of adopting another dog. My ex has our two rescue dogs (Lab / Pointer mix). My house currently has 3 cats (Nora, Mavis, and Tyson) and my rescue squirrel (Petey).

A typical day

First, I'll listen to you and adjust my likes and knowledge to fit your needs and desires. Depending on the size of your dogs would depend on the activities that I'll incorporate...whether it's playing ball, running at the local park, belly scratches, or being carried. I'll adjust to what your family member wants.

Lifetime Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Animals have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. With experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and exotic pets, I understand the unique needs of each species. As a certified Cat and Dog First Aid provider, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and comfort of every animal in my care. I have extensive experience with a variety of breeds, ages, temperaments, and health conditions, ensuring personalized and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their specific needs. Your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m happy to provide updates and photos/videos during visits so you can rest assured that your pet is in great hands. Additionally, I can care for a variety of other animals and offer complimentary baths for dogs during stays of three nights or more.

Mike is just the best. He takes such good care of our mini schnauzer, Niña. We’ve had him take care of her a few times and she’s always so happy to see him come by. He sends lots of great videos and pictures and always keeps us updated throughout the day. Even watered our plants and washed the sheets without us asking. The best!

Mike is simply the best. Angus greeted Mike joyfully and is always so delighted to see him! Mike watched both Angus and his “cousin” Jacques today. He was attentive to all their needs and sent photos throughout the day. Thank you, Mike!

Mike was an awesome dog sitter for Parsley and Basil. It usually takes Basil a while to warm up to new people, but he connected with Mike right away. Mike went above and beyond in taking care of my dogs. I highly recommend him.

Our Angus has bonded with Mike. The more Mike sits with Angus, the more overjoyed he is when Mike arrives! Tail wagging and dog kisses abound. Mike takes excellent care of Angus, including long walks, which our Cavalier loves. We feel so fortunate to have found Mike. He is knowledgeable and truly loves animals.

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.
