Pet care experience

I love learning about pets' quirks!

Hey, use my code for $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/mahdoa39338 About me? I'm a WFH freelancer, and can choose my own hours. This leaves me wide open to help you and your pets on a call/text! Why me? I have loved, house-trained, and cared for nearly 25 cats and dogs over 45lbs. Several of my pets in my household needed end of life care or special medical treatment, too, which means I had extra love to give and ease their comfort. I have petsit for friends, family, and my extended network for the past 10yrs, and supported many of them through their special and unique needs and care. So, here I am, making it an official hobby.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In any care with any pet, I listen to their expressions and behaviors for both their and my security. In your home, I will follow your pet's natural safe spaces to make sure that both of us have time and space to know each other better, which doesn't disrupt their normal routine, and keeps us both comfortable and safe. It is important for me to always listen to your pet's and your needs and concerns, more than just for safety, but also fun! This means I will need information on your pet and your rules, expectations, and specific treatment and care.

Michelle is so patient with our dog… and me, as a first time Rover user. Our dog has anxiety and is very active. Michelle has worked with her to build trust and comfort. She’s also great with communicating through the app.

House Sitting • Aug 13, 2025

Michelle was so wonderful! I have a 2 year old dachshund but I had also just gotten a puppy, and I was so nervous to leave my 11 week old baby doxie, but it went great! Michelle stayed in touch daily, sending a photo or a quick message throughout the day. She tried to keep both dogs on their schedule and reinforced the potty training as much as possible. I could tell from her photos and videos that the dogs were happy and not stressed at all. I felt so much better about being away knowing they were being well taken care of. She even fed our frog (who's in a fish tank). I will definitely be asking Michelle to sit for us again.

Now, tell me about you, and your fur-family! I want to know about your needs, your pet(s)' needs, and how I can help you do what you need. My primary focuses are safety, care, and transparency - to always ease your concerns and worries. First and foremost, I need to know about your pet's schedule for food, medicine, walks, and bathroom breaks. If I enter your home, I wilI also need to know about your rules for your house and your pet, as well as what commands they may or may not know. I also want to know what your pet likes or doesn't when it comes to play, touch/pets, other animal interactions, other people interactions, and walks. I am very much looking forward to learning more about you, your pet, and all their quirks!
