Pet care is not one size fits all. Different pets require different kinds of care. During our meet'n greet and all other communications I will be sure to listen to and accommodate whatever preferences you or your pet might have. If you have a high energy pet that loves to be run around, count me in. If your pet prefers lazy walks or relaxed cuddles on the couch with belly rubs, we can do that too. I have no qualms letting a dog or cat lick my face to his or her heart's content. Dogs and cats are such social creatures and I am committed to making sure they get the love and attention they need and deserve while you are away.
My name is Michael Wagman. Yes, that's my real name. In May of 2016 while looking for work I began walking dogs and pet sitting in Chicago on Rover.com. At the time it was just something I thought I'd try, but it didn't take long before I fell in love. I loved giving pets and their owners a sense of peace and joy. Since starting this journey I have cared for over 90 dogs and cats, many of them repeat clients. I have also collected 65 reviews, all FIVE STARS, on Rover.com.
I live in Elgin, Illinois with my fiancé, Lisa, and our two fur babies, Penny and Kaylee (named after Joss Whedon characters).
In addition to my two years of pet sitting, I am also fully insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance. Unless you tell me otherwise I will text or e-mail you at least one picture of your pet when I arrive so you know when the visit or walk has started and send you a picture of your pet when the visit has ended. This gives you the certainty that I am giving you your money's worth. For walks I can also track the route taken to walk your dog and send you a screen shot of the GPS map with the distance and time walked. Whatever you need to feel comfortable that you are getting what you paid for. Your satisfaction is important to me, so if you are not satisfied I am all too happy to offer refunds or free walks if I have in any way disappointed you.
Michael was very reliable and took great care of our dog, Grinch. We will use him as much as possible and refer him to anyone. Thanks, Michael!

Great sitter! This is the second time Michael has watched our kitty and it was great. He has a great attention to detail for her medications and is very thorough with updates and includes lots of pictures. Looking forward to working with Michael again!

Michael was patient and understanding about my antisocial, sometimes aggressive rescue cat. His daily reports and photos and occasional videos made me confident that both he and the cat were comfortable while I was gone for six days. Thank you!

We have a brand new pup and Michael was very cautious with her making sure that she was comfortable. He followed all instructions and was on time. So grateful that he made our pup feel at ease.

Michael was so great with our puppy! Kept us informed of her every move and gave her the attention she deserves when he would come walk her! Thanks Michael!
