Pet care experience
I had my own pet services business for a 7 years and decided to return to Rover for the security of insurance. I was with Rover since 2/2014 but I have experience and loving fur babies for 20 years. I have experience with administering medication, including injections. I want you all to know that you are putting your Fur Baby in Loving, Trusted, Mature Hands, and they will be treated with loving care like I treat my Joey! I am a Hugger and Head Kisser! I've found that most Fur Babies love the attention!, especially belly rubs! Fur Babies are my life! I served in the Air Force for 8 years! I was a Cosmetologist for 20 years, and a Personal Care Assistant to the elderly and disabled for 3 1/2 years. Helping Animals and the Elderly give me a life that has meaning. For the pass 3 years I took care of my grandson for 50 hours a week. He now goes to school full time! My rescue dog Joey was ceased from a home in GA., they sent him to Fairfax, where I adopted him. The day after I brought Joey home he started having seizures! They failed to let me know! I give Joey medication twice a day! Joey is my baby, he sleeps on my bed and sits on the sofa next to me! I bought professional clippers and groom Joey! I love taking him for walks every day because he loves to go! I've taken care of my sons friends dogs! That was fun, I had the dogs sleep on my bed, thank goodness that I have a Queen size bed. I also cared for my son's cousins dog in our home! I had two German Shorthair Pointers, father and son, the father, Boone developed cancer. With help from my sister, We put together an Organic homemade diet with supplements, which extended his life. When Boone passed over the Rainbow Bridge, a few years later Murdoc, the son also got cancer. I was able to extend Murdoc's life to a few years instead of a few months that the Vet. told us he would. I have had dogs, cat, guinea pigs and even chickens! I syringe feed two of my guinea pigs when they became ill from old age! I will take photos and text them to you! I will also text you information like when feed, when administered medication, if pooped and any concern that I may notice! Please let me know where and when we can have a Meet and Greet! No cost to you for our meet and Greet! I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! If you have a cat and I am at your home to walk your dog or I'm doing a drop-in visit, I'll clean the litter box. I'll change the water bowl and give clean water! Play with your kitty! I am looking forward to having fun with your four legged family member! I hope they are ready for plenty of Love Hugs! Thank you! Michele
Reviews
We have been using Michelle for the year or two for walks and doggie daycare for our boy Vader. Michelle is phenomenal. Vader loves her and all the attention she gives him. He enjoys playing with Michelle’s dog at her house and the assortment of toys she provides. Michelle is super thoughtful and has bought Vader toys for our house that he loves to play with during daycare. She is very flexible with scheduling which has been a lifesaver since my husband’s schedule has changed several times over the last year with his job. I highly recommend Michelle if you need someone to walk or watch you pet (whether for the day or for vacation).
We can’t say enough nice things about Michele! In the few months we have had our dog, Michele has visited Kiki on short notice, been flexible enough to move around times and days, picked her up to spend the day at her house and always sends lots of cute pictures! Michele has even helped out with puppies we were fostering and visits our two kitties when we are out of town. Glad we were able to find Michele and really appreciate how well she treats all our animals. Thanks, Michele!!
Michele was so great taking care of our cat. She kept us informed on how he was doing and sent us pictures and videos. We're so glad we found Michele to take care of our furry family member.
My dog Chance loves Michele and I am so thankful we found her! She takes excellent care of him while I'm at work and send me pictures and videos throughout the day. If you're looking for someone to love your pet and take care of them like you do, look no further. Highly recommend Michele!

When I arrive at your home I check your mailbox and bring in your mail and packages. I make sure that they will not run out of the house as I’m entering your house. I greet your baby with love and affection. We go to the backyard so that he/she can go potty. If they like to play fetch, I throw the ball. I always have waste bags on me, I pick up the poo and throw it in the designated area. I feed and give fresh water. I take plenty of videos and photos to text to their Mommy and Daddy. I make sure to lock all the doors before leaving.

Information Michele M. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if there are any protection issues with food and water bowls. What medication if any to give and when. How much food to give. Any safety precautions of escape.
A typical day
During home visits we play outside with a ball or favorite toy. I give belly rubs and visit with your baby. We can play inside as well. I even sweep your floor if your baby brings in dirt or grass.
