About: Helloooo! My name is Michelle O. I am “THE PUPPY LOVER”, I am 20 years old I have plans on being a phlebotomist and a veterinarian! I love friendly dogs, old dogs, hyper dogs, small dogs, big dogs, all except MEAN dogs! I give dogs my full undivided attention and treat them as if they are my own. I will not have a problem giving your dog a bath or if needed a flea treatment; I will take your dog on walks, feed them at least 3 times a day depending on size, and pet them non-stop! I do have a unfenced backyard, so a well trained dog is preferred, unless the client will have to provide a leashed stake for the yard! Clients must provide dog food! -LOVE, Michelle
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.
About: I was given my first pup when I was just 1 year old. We've always had dogs in our family and I've owned my own dogs in my own home for the last 11 years. I currently work Mon-Fri, 8am-430pm. I'd be able to do before and after care during the week. My availability during the weekends would be much greater including overnights of needed. I have a medium sized fenced in yard, and when the weather is nice the back door stays open so the pups can come and go as they need. I don't allow collars to be worn inside my home due to the fear of them getting caught on something and hurting themselves.
“Molly is simply the best! We will continue to book her as she is available. She sends wonderful photos and videos during her stay, and when we return, we can always tell the girls have had a blast and lots of lovin'!”

Berkeley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our pups were clearly so loved and cared for while we were gone! We received regular updates and photos which made us worry-free. Towels and sheets were in the washing machine and the dishes were clean in the dishwasher which we appreciated! It was a great experience for us and our fur babies.
