Care when you can't be there 💜

As someone who has owned and cared for dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, ferrets, horses, sheep, and many other animals throughout my entire life, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and reliable caregiver for your furry friends when you're away from home. That's why I'm here to offer my services as a Rover dog sitter, providing the love, attention, and care that your pets need to thrive. Whether you're going on vacation, traveling for work, or just need a break from your daily routine, I can help you create a personalized care plan that meets the unique needs of your pets. From feeding and walking to playing and cuddling, I'll make sure that your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you're away. So if you're looking for a caring, experienced, and reliable Rover dog sitter, look no further. I'm here to help you and your pets enjoy a happy and stress-free time apart, knowing that they're in good hands.

Michele was a wonderful sitter for Ranger! She kept us up to date on his daily activities and sent pictures, he looked so happy! Would highly recommend and will plan on using her again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better first dog sitting experience! Michele cared for our dog Luna from April 17–21, and she truly went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving her. As first time pet parents leaving Luna behind, we were very nervous, but Michele quickly put our minds at ease. She provided multiple updates each day, including photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear from the start how much love and attention she gives to the dogs in her care, and we felt confident Luna was in great hands. Luna was absolutely spoiled during her stay and had the best time playing with Michele’s dogs. We could tell she was happy, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. At one point, Luna got very itchy due to her grass allergies, and Michele immediately reached out to ask what helps alleviate her symptoms. She went the extra mile by rubbing her down with coconut oil to help soothe her skin, which we truly appreciated. We are so grateful for Michele and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter!

We traveled over Christmas and left our dog, Tucker, with Michele and her family for a week. She was nothing short of incredible - amazing communication, lots of photos/videos, and lots of love! Highly recommend! We’ll be back!

Michele was a great communicator, sending us pictures and updates throughout Louie’s stay. Louie had the best time playing with her dogs and came home happy and tired!

Michelle did a fantastic job at taking care of ole Odie boy and was super friendly as well. Not a billion dogs at once either, just her own 3 dogs. Will return for services.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two Silver Labs and a Beagle who are the center of my world. The Labs eat a mix of kibble and homemade food, which includes chicken breast, green beans, blueberries, yogurt, and eggs. On the other hand, the Beagle prefers to have only chicken breast. Please note that any instructions you provide regarding food, medications, safety, etc. will be followed to the letter.

Pets

We have a large fenced back yard and a doggy door for 24/7 access for them to go outside as desired. We play lots of ball and have a full tote of Kong toys to play with. I have 2 silver labs and a Beagle that LOVE friends so they will be busy with new friends.

I prefer to stay away from dogs that are excessively aggressive with other dogs. Mine are very friendly and love friends. I'm not concerned about any breed specifically.
