“Hannah is wonderful! She is so easygoing and experienced with any quirks. Dexter is a stubborn fella and she made sure that he enjoyed his walk. We will definitely book with Hannah again :)”
“Helena walked our 3 dogs for 2 weeks while we were on vacation and she did an amazing job! She was punctual for every walk, was great a communication and gave me updates with pictures for each walk. I felt so at ease knowing my dogs were well taken care of during their walks. Shes knowledgeable and great with dogs. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future vacations.”
About: I have a cat and a chocolate lab. I grew up with all kinds of dogs. I am always checking in on friends and family pets! I am good with all animals and I love to go on walks and play with them. I am free any time during the weekdays, and available always on weekends. I’m always ready to help. When petsitting, I will always follow all instructions set by the owners and I will make sure your pet has the best time with me. I am working nights, so I am available from 6am-10pm weekdays and anytime on weekends! This gives me the freedom to check in on your pets all day! I am very good at following specific instructions, so should your dog have any needs, I will take care of it. I have experience with crating.
“Steph is fantastic! Attentive, communicative, reliable, considerate, and great with our pets. We'll definitely be booking with her regularly going forward and we're so happy to have found someone that we're confident enough to use as a sitter as well as a walker!”
About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my whole life. My first job was a dog walking service around my neighborhood growing up! My boyfriend and I have attended many dog training seminars when he was looking into getting a puppy, and I learned lots from them! I currently work part-time, only about 3-4 times a week for a maximum of 5-6 hours at a time. The shifts vary throughout the week, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I have a backyard with grass. I have 2 small cats who are very dog friendly, and have lived with a dog in the past for 2 years! If your fur baby isn’t much of a cat person, my cats have a very large basement which is basically their home anyways, and would have no problem staying down there while I care for your baby for a little bit:)
About: Hello 👋 there! My name is Michelle🧡 & my best friend Hunny🐾 ( You can see her profile in this app too). 🧡 WHY I CHOSE ROVER I first learned more about ROVER through PetWatch, which gave me a coupon when I registered Hunny's microchip with Petwatch. I had heard that ROVER is being recommended within the pet-care community and veterinarians. I value the service fees I am sharing with ROVER because they support the platform that connects us, provide ease of booking + payment tools, + ROVER offers protections + safeguards for pet parents, pets + sitters alike. After devoting so much of my life to my 30- yr nursing career, my marriage + raising my children, I am finally learning how important it is to follow MY own dreams, hobbies + passions too. Self-care, time in nature + new adventures have become especially meaningful during this stage of empty-nesting. And so begins my new adventure here on ROVER. 🐾 MY LIFE WITH ANIMALS I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs + cats and have always enjoyed sharing my life with animals of different breeds, sizes, ages + unique personalities. I currently have a very gentle mama: my 5-year-old, 59-lb Black + Tan Coonhound named Hunny. She loves going on walks with many of the dogs I meet. I always make sure to do a meet and greet first to make sure everyone knows each other. If she is with me on walk days, she waits in the car or van for her furry friends to come out to walk. There is no furry friend or human she meets who doesn’t love her and vice versa. I raised two Rhodesian Ridgebacks from puppies. Major lived to 11½ + LOVED flyball, so I still love playing fetch with dogs who enjoy retrieving. Maggie lived to age 13 + ran beside me when running was my passion. Nowadays, I love walking through neighbourhoods with big shade trees rustling, admiring flowerbeds with monarchs + bumblebees, listening to the birds singing songs ( especially Cardinals). Giving dogs sniffing time is so important for their mental well-being, just like us! After my two Ridgebacks, I fell in love with RESCUING Coonhounds. Beau Beauregard, Zellie Zoo Zoo + Belvey Belvedere have all crossed the beautiful Rainbow Bridge 🌈. Every one of these losses has taught me more lessons about love, patience + giving of SELF through the privilege of caring for another living being. As an RN and mum to my children + pets, I do not take special needs lightly. I am calm, patient, observant + very affectionate, and I am very comfortable following detailed routines, medication instructions, including oral medications + giving injections. I know how important routine toileting is + attentive personal care. I know how hard it is to be away from our fur babies. If a pet wears briefs, I am diligent about keeping them clean, dry + comfortable while protecting their dignity because of my years of caring for our sweet boy Belvey Belvedere. I can handle doggies who need an increase in FREQUENCY of visits for more attention (like every 2 hours) for potty breaks with brief changes. My nursing experience has also taught me to pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, special diets, mobility + overall well-being. Before long, I develop a deep bond with my furry friends—and I miss them when our time together ends. I look forward to meeting you soon! Michelle🧡 🐾 🏡🐾 Please see my fees (which includes ROVER's fees)👀 for my 30 min WALK rate OR 15 minute DROP-IN rate (economical pop-in's to your home) listed as your daily choices. Longer 60 minute WALKS listed too. EXTRA cost for ADDing on more dogs or cats. I can come by throughout the week + weekends-fitting your pet(s) in within my schedule. Just try to give me a heads up when you think you will need me for your vacations, or work schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you + your furry pet. I can stay overnight at your place if Hunny can come along with me. She does not mind any dogs or cats and is very respectful. I journal every day, + I take photos everywhere I go. You will receive photos + updates while you are away. I love capturing the little moments that remind us to be present: a happy dog sniffing something fascinating, a cat curled up in a favourite patch of sunlight, a peaceful walk, or a funny expression that tells an entire story. Thank you for reading my bio. I am excited to meet your family soon. ~ 🧡🐾Michelle 🧡 MY PROMISE TO YOU My focus is on reliability, trust and peace of mind. I provide dependable care + treat your dog, cat and home with the same respect + attention I want for my own. I am excited to be building a clientelle of new furry friends—+ perhaps some new human friends too. 🧡 I want to make your time away from home as comfortable and stress-free as possible for you. I know how hard it is to leave them. I care about making sure your pet(s) feels safe, loved + genuinely cared for. Your pet’s happiness is mine too! I GET it! I follow each pet’s normal routine and your instructions carefully so they feel safe + comfortable in their own home. I am attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding schedules + medications, + I do not leave a pet unsecured, off- leash unless it is in your own backyard, of course. My goal is for you to return to your pet(s) and they feel peaceful, loved and well-cared for.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
