Safety, trust & environment

I am fully insured and bonded for pet sitting. I have three dogs of varying sizes including a Yorkie, a poodle mix, and a black lab and I'm used to walking and caring for all three at once.

Information mike S. would like to know about your pet

I usually get get to know you and your pet at our meet and greets. During that time I gather additional info about dietary restrictions, potty habits, typical behavior during walks, and past experiences with sitters or walkers.

A typical day

All pets, and especially dogs, are special so i customize the experience for each situation. When I arrive I greet the pets with love and scan for any messes or unusual things that need immediate attention. Then, I get necessary equipment for the dog to go for a walk. sometimes fetch or other games as well. After walking I leave enough time to refresh water and food bowls as necessary. Meds are administered according to owner/vet instructions.

Friendly local giant who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I'm strong enough to be able to handle the larger sized as well as medium breeds and still be very gentle with the smaller ones.

Mike and Roxie enjoyed a long walk about GORC park. Good exercise for our Golden Retriever. Mike took good care of Roxie.

Mike was great taking care of our two little Chiweenies. He was reliable and consistent. We knew they were in good hands!

Mike is awesome with my leash-reactive pups! I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Thanks, Mike!

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.
