Law Student and Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a cat owner for 8 years while in undergrad and law school and have even fostered a few stray litters when needed. While my hectic part-time student and part-time work schedule during this period has not allowed me to have a dog myself, I often dog sit for friends, family, and even my bosses offering walks, baths, some training, and, of course, play time! While I am studying for my bar exam this summer, my schedule is far more available. I get a much needed study break and your beloved pet gets a new best friend!

Returned home to happy healthy kitties and cleanliness! Mikhael was so great taking care of my cats while I was gone on vacation. He was efficient at communication with me, sent many pictures and videos the whole time I was gone, and his kindness and attentiveness was very genuine with my babies. Will for sure book with him again if he’s still on rover and available the next time I go out of town!

Dropped my pet off to Mikhael and he loved it! Whenever I have to travel my lil pup loves going to his best friend, Mikhael. He makes sure to send daily pictures and updates and makes Bonzo feel at home on every visit!

We ALWAYS trust Mikhael with our pets. He takes care of them like if they were his own and always keeps me posted. He’s very careful with them and gives them lots of love so they don’t miss us for too long. Totally recommend him to anyone that’s looking for someone they can trust to take care of their babies!

I was super nervous about leaving my babies (Mackay and Ziggy) alone but Mikhael was the best pet sitter!! He would check in on them daily, for more than just the 10 minutes it takes to clean a litter box and feed them, and make sure they played! He sent me photos and when I got back my apartment was clean and my cats were happy. I’m so thankful he watched my cats & Id 100% hire him again to watch them!!

I require a meet and greet prior to any appointment. This allows me a chance to receive instructions directly from you regarding any and all specific requests you may have. As an added bonus, your pet and I can become acquainted in advance. Of course, expect daily pet pictures while you are away!

Information Mikhael K. would like to know about your pet

The following is a non-exclusive list of important information regarding your cat/dog I will need to know in advance: Daily routine and potty schedule Temperament around other people and dogs Medical issues or allergies Medication requirements Places in the home your pet is not allowed Commands you may use to address unwanted behavior Rewards you use for good behavior Who to contact in case of an emergency Triggers which may cause your pet to react or be scared Any history of aggression, biting, or other such events How long can your pet be left alone Favorite games or toys to play with Access instructions to your home How often you would like updates Anything else you believe I may need to know about your pet!

A typical day

Any and all activities will be owner-pet specific. I would love to know your dogs favorite places whether they be trails, dog parks, or even just car rides! I live in front of levy park and take walks there often. If your dog does well in spaces with plenty of people and other dogs, I would love to have them join my walks and even take time for training to keep their mind stimulated. As for cats, it may take them a while before they warm up to me. I know to give a cat space until they feel safe enough to approach you - everything is on their terms (though I maaay try to bribe them with a treat or two). If yours is the rare instance of a friendly and eager kitty, I’ll be happy to play with them, whether they prefer a mouse or a laser, and yes, even teach them a few tricks! My cat knows plenty (though she doesn’t work for free and requires treats before any performance.) Any pet, cat or dog, will get plenty of kisses and cuddles!
