We have a fully fenced yard for play and/or potties. Very walkable neighborhood if that is something your dog enjoys. We do have our small rescue female, so your dog should get along well with others. Happy to kennel (yours) if your dog is most comfortable that way at night or any other time you tell us is their normal routine. Feed time on the schedule you set, treats as you allow.

Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are specific needs or behaviors I should be aware of. Because we do have a small and very submissive rescue female, super high energy and/or dominant dogs are not likely to be a good fit. Please note our cancellation policy: We only accept one overnight guest at a time, so we like to keep our calendar current and full. We do offer a generous 3 day cancellation policy; inside of that please be aware you will be charged a cancellation fee. Thank you for your understanding

A typical day

We love play time! Walks, toys, cuddles, tummy rubs...and if allowed treats! When we gave our first meet and greet you can tell me what your typical schedule of play is and we will try to keep things as normal as possible while you're gone.

WFH Dog Lover to Watch Your ❤️ Dog

Pet care experience

I grew up with parents who raised and showed dogs from breed ring to obedience, carting and much more. You could say a love of dogs was bred into me 😀 I also love, and have horses, and long before there was a Rover (back in the 90's!) I would house-sit for folks with dogs and horses. I work from home now, and my husband is home by 3p every day, so other than a TBirds game or a rare dinner out, someone is home all the time. We recently had to say goodbye to our 21 (!) year old Yorkie, and have space in our home and hearts to care for and love on others folks' dogs. We do have our little rescue female, who is pretty submissive and quiet, and when I say little, she is 4 pounds! We have a fully fenced back yard, perfect for play and potty time. Very walkable neighborhood for any of our doggie guests. Always happy to answer additional questions, and a meet and greet before our first engagement is a must. You need to be comfortable with leaving your family member in our care, and Lola has to give 2 paws up.

Michelle, Keith and Lola have been once again a second family to our Lou. He couldn't be at a better place and we're very grateful for that.

Clementine was a happy camper when I picked her up! I was very pleased with how well cared for she was and wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Michelle again. I loved getting all the photos!

Like always, Michelle, Keith and Lola are a second family to our dog Lou. I hope he can stay with them many more times!

Michelle is fabulous! Our dog is treated so well, and I know his anxious heart does well with her because I get lots of pictures and videos of him cuddling, eating well, and getting to go on lots of walks. We couldn’t be happier with Michelle’s care of our pup!

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.
