Pet care experience

Imagine your vacation was a vacation for your pup as well? I'm a life long dog owner. Unfortunately, I lost my dog a few years ago and I'm not quite ready to get to a new bff yet, so for now I enjoy sitting. I work from home, so as long as I have access to your wifi, I'll be in your home most of the time. This helps ease doggy anxiety and make for a relaxed vacation for both of you (think lots of pictures for you and belly rubs for the dog). My flexible schedule ensures I can keep your dogs (or cats or other pets) on the same routine they are used to. I'm willing to travel up to an hour for stays of 3 days or more. Cats and other small animals are free with any house sitting fee! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

She took great care of our puppy and sent the cutest pictures!

This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our pups and it’s always a pleasure to come home and find dogs that are relaxed and happy. She is meticulous about communicating with us and leaves our house as clean (or cleaner!) than when we left. What I love the most about her is how unflappable she is. She is obviously comfortable with dogs and I would trust her to handle any emergencies with her low-key clear-headed grace.

We couldn’t have been happier and more comfortable with Michelle taking care of our sweet older Shiba Inu. We’re newer to Rover and have previously used pet sitters through word of mouth, so I was a little nervous meeting someone online to stay in our home for more than a week. Michelle immediately put me at ease. This lady knows exactly what she is doing and her pet care philosophy (keep them on their routine) kept our sensitive and loving dog happy while we were away. We got pictures and status reports twice a day and it felt good to know that Sasha was doing exactly the same thing with Michelle as she did with us. Sasha bonded with Michelle and while I know she’s happy to have us home, I also know that she will be thrilled to see Michelle again in a few weeks as we’ve already booked her for our next trip!

I like to know the good and the bad. If your dog doesn't like other dogs or pulls on the leash, just let me know so I can approach it head on. I'm a great trainer so for longer stays your dog may pick up a new habit or two!
