Thank you for considering booking with me to take care of your pets! I have many years of experience and will make sure that your pets are safe and well cared for. I will also keep you posted with photos and updates.

Information Michele 'Navya ' C. would like to know about your pet

I need to know whether your dog is social with other dogs and possible triggers on walks. I need to know whether they are on medications and whether they have allergies to any foods. I'd also like to know what words they understand, like “sit,” “stay”, etc…

A typical day

I've found that pets often enjoy their routines, much like people do. So, while you're away they will enjoy the familiarity of their own home and regular routes, though perhaps we'll explore a little bit extra sometimes. I do have my own little pup, but she stays at home with my roommate when I am petsitting.

Michele did a great job with Mac and took excellent care of my home as well. Great communication and probably the only Rover sitter I’ve used that leaves my home cleaner than she found it. First time using her for overnight sitting and will definitely use again.

Very responsive and dealt with a very shy cat.

Michele was wonderful! Tobi enjoyed her company and she sent lots of pictures while we were away. It was our first time using Rover and am so happy we found Michele. She took great care of Tobi. Will definitely reach out to her again.

Michele was incredible! She is communicative and responsive and took such great care of my dogs! I had her house sit and she left the place clean and tidy and the pups happy. I would definitely ask her to watch the pups again

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
