About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have two cats, one that requires oral medication twice daily. I've also worked for a private pet sitting company before. I work early mornings to early afternoon on the weekdays and on weekends I occasionally work, but it's few and far between when that occurs. I have previously pet sat at client's homes by walking, feeding, giving medications, and socializing with cats and dogs alike. I would spend anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to make sure your fluffy family members are well taken care of.

“Great job taking care of the kitties”

“I needed a last minute sitter and Elizabeth came through. My dogs looked happy when I came home and I was able to enjoy my evening knowing my dogs were well cared for. Highly recommend.”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”

About: I’m already pet sit through another site and have decided to expand my services to Rover! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even farm animals, having pets around has always been a big part of my life. I have been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since elementary school. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, even wild ones! My experience spans beyond just cats and dogs; I’ve cared for reptiles, bunnies, frogs, fish, and even farm animals. I’m also an artist and have traveled to 49 states in the US, as well as lived in Paris and the Middle East. My extensive travel has given me a unique perspective on animal care, and I’ve learned to adapt to the needs of various pets in different environments. I travel often across the US and have lived in multiple countries, which has given me the opportunity to pet sit for family and friends along the way. My nomadic lifestyle has allowed me to meet and care for a wide variety of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I pride myself on being clean, respectful, and attentive to the needs of the pets I care for.

About: Your pup or pups will get specialized attention when they live with me! I only take one pup family at a time, so there will be no worries about how your dog interacts with others or if they're safe. One note: I have a cat! I have a lot of experience with dogs for my whole life. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs in my entire adult life. I've worked as a dog walker for the first 5 years I was in LA. At least 4 walks a day if desired. The dogs would have full run of the apartment! I work from home so I only leave the house for about 2-3 hours max. I love to have designated cuddle times during the day and at least 2 longer walks. I enjoy training as well if you’d like. I can loose leash train for an additional fee. Positive reinforcement only! **I am an expert with anxious dogs and understand that they need love at their own speed. My rescue dog is anxious with other humans (and even on Prozac) so I deeply understand what it feels like to be an owner of a dog with anxiety. I’ll be their biggest advocate! I work from home and love to walk and exercise. I can run or bike with your dog if they need extra! I’ve also trained puppies or older dogs on leash or any other commands you’d like. I have a backyard with no fence. I never let dogs off leash outside. I always air on the side of caution. Dogs have full run of my home.
