Ratings and reviews
Monty had a great time with Michele, we know from all the fun pictures and updates she sent and how excited he is when we pull up to her place to drop him off. Michele is always very engaged with him and Monty also got along with Michele's dog which I think helps with his anxiety of missing us. She is fantastic and is our go-to sitter!
I am so very thankful we found Michele to care for our dog while we went out of town for the Holidays. She was very good about updating me on what they were doing frequently. We got pictures and videos before walks, just lounging around, and her dog with our dog and made us feel at ease. My dog can have a it of depression anxiety and is usually super mad at us when we get home from a trip. She usually won’t want to be around us for 2-3 days when we get home but she is the happiest camper after Michele stayed with her! Michele also went above and beyond for us and Maggie (our dog) by being able to take on an extra night/day with Maggie when we were left with a cancelled southwest flight and had to make a 16 hour drive home. Without her I’m it sure what we would have been able to do for our dog that last night/day. I couldn’t be more happy with How Michele treated Maggie as her own and she took amazing care of our house while we were gone and followed instructions with Maggie to a T. Will definitely be using her for future travels and referring her to friends that need pet sitters. If you want someone to help your pet live their best life while you are away Michele is your go to! We cannot thank her enough!
We were apprehensive about booking our first sitting appointment on Rover for our 11 year old Yorkie and 6 month old Corgi but were so happy that we selected Michele. She provided excellent care for our babies and went out of her way to keep us informed of the happenings around the house. We recommend her to anyone. Wonderful experience.
When we used to live in Washington DC, Michele house sat and watched our cats’ multiple times. Our cats were always happy and relaxed when we returned. She was especially patient and kind with our shy tabby, while keeping our playful tuxedo engaged and happy. She is also good about sending check in messages and plenty of cute photos. I would recommend her to anyone who wants loving care for their pets.
When Michele G. watched our animals, she treated them with kindness and excellent care. I would highly recommend her to take care of any animal needs that you might have. You can be assured that your prized companions will be pampered and treated like they are Michele's own.
Ms. Guss has been a long time care giver of my cats when I travel. She is able to be very flexible with changes to dietary needs and schedules. She ask questions and confirms times and when she has completed her visits. She has been a life saver for me when I have to travel at the last minute. Hi Highly recommend her.
