Michelle is awesome!!! She works with Elli to be sure she's comfortable with her new friend. She's very patient and understanding. Elli looks like she was enjoying her walk with Michelle.

Michelle was amazing!! We had never used rover before and were nervous about leaving our furbabies for such a long time this summer. Michelle met with us before we left to get information from us and for a meet and greet. She sent tons of pictures and updates while we were gone and truly made us feel like our dog and cat were in the best of hands. Thank you so much Michelle!

Michelle has great experience with cats and dogs. She has taken care of our two old kitties many times and is a true dog lover. She is responsible and would do a wonderful job caring for your animals!

Michelle is a warm, kindhearted person, and is absolutely awesome with pets. Her love, compassion, and joy when playing with dogs is palpable, and she views pets as family members, not just animals in a home. I’ve known Michelle for years, and she’s the only nonrelative who I trust to watch my dog, Bo. Bo is a 75lb ball of energy, who comes with a long list of special needs. He has allergies, takes medication daily, has had several teeth extracted so you can’t play tug-o-war with him when he tries to engage you, exerts dominance when in the presence of other animals, and isn’t allowed to have “people food” or go on furniture. Most challengingly, Bo destroys toys at a rapid rate and swallows/eats the parts of the toys as he destroys them (which has led to two major surgeries to remove the foreign objects from his intestine). So, he can only have specific toys and must be monitored when playing with them. Michelle is amazing with Bo and handles all of this with ease. She is able to meet all of his needs (and my requests), plays with him, conscious of his teeth and toy issues, and she loves on him. Michelle is one of Bo’s favorite people and he is beyond excited when he gets to see her. Going away is often stressful for me because of making arrangements for Bo. When Michelle takes care of him, I don’t have to worry about who is going in/out of my house, and I don’t have to worry about Bo eating something he shouldn’t, or escaping, which is my biggest fear (he has doggie hearing loss and he can’t track sounds, so if he’s lost outside, he can’t follow the sound of your voice to return to you). I know Bo is being cared for like he’s part of her family, and I know he’s having the best time. Michelle is a great person, an amazing animal lover and caregiver, and I cannot recommend her enough to spend time with your furry loved one!
