Vet Tech Bringing Compassion to You

I worked for 10 years as a veterinary technician caring for fur babies at various vet hospitals, and have nearly 2 decades experience working with animals in general. I am very experienced with a number of services like medicating, grooming, and training animals. Believing that the best environment to watch, and care for your pets is in their own home. I am taking my experience to your door. As stated previously, I am taking on pet sitting full time. Weekday, weekends... not a problem. Send me a message and I'm sure we can work something out. I'm currently making a go of pet sitting full-time. I will spend all my time throughout the day loving your little ones. I do house sitting, and drop in visits, so depending on what I have on the schedule for any given day I could be in and out a lot. I do not typically allow pets to come to my own house to stay over anymore, as my two dogs are no longer friendly towards other pets. :(

Easy-going, reliable guy who took good care of our puppy and house. He let us know how she was doing and the house was immaculate when we returned.

Mike has house/dog sat for us several times now, and he’s always reliable and communicative. The dog seems happy when we get home, and he is well taken care of. We will continue to use Mike when we need help!

It was our first time using a non family dog sitter and Mike was great. Our dog warmed up to him much faster than he has with anyone else and he kept us updated with pictures at every visit so we could see how they were doing. Will definitely use again.

Mike was so great with my two cats! He took the time to come meet them first and sat down on the floor quietly until they felt comfortable around him. We really appreciate his patience and care for our kitty cats.

House Sitting • May 27, 2026

Mike took exceptional care of our 2 cats and 1 senior dog. He also took thoughtful care of our home and left it immaculate. He watered our plants, brought in the mail and packages, took out the trash, and left the porch light on for us because he knew we were getting back late. Speaking of getting back late, Mike stayed for extra time so he could give our dog his evening walk and feed all the pets their evening meal. We really appreciate Mike's efforts!

Schedule

I'm currently trying to work full time as a pet sitter, so my schedule can be quite sporadic. Usually I am busy in the afternoons for an extended period of time of about 4 hours. Otherwise I can be pretty amenable.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Mike can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I love all dog breeds, but show slight favoritism towards Huskies... I would like to know how your dog likes to spend the day. Do they have any aggression towards food ar anything else? Are they house trained? Is there anything specific you would like me to work on? You know your pet best, so tell me anything you think is important for me to be aware of.
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.
