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 3.5 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 all to ensure a good fit.
Reviews
Michelle was a gracious host for our Maui! She provided pictures and videos daily to share with us. Being that it was our first time using rover (and being away from Maui for a week), she provided a card listing all the important items needed. We would absolutely recommend Michelle for anyone who needs their dog to get top notch care!
Michelle is a thoughtful, reliable, and knowledgeable animal caretaker. She has a thorough understanding of both large and small animals, including horses, and is comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I've known Michelle for over 15 years and during this time I've observed her dedication, compassion, and loyalty to both her own animals and to those around her. I would not hesitate to have her care for my cat and horses.
You could not do better than to have Michelle care for your dog! I have known Michelle for a long time and she is extremely responsible in her animal care. She was raised with dogs, cats and horses and loves them all. Michelle has cared for our large breed dogs on multiple occasions. She is very affectionate with them, walks them and plays with them and follows our slightly eccentric feeding plan to the letter. I also trust Michelle's judgement about medical issues. She is very conscientious about medicating according to plan (giving pills, ugh!) and monitoring health and symptoms. I trust her to make the right call when I am out of town. I am happy to recommend Michelle as a dog care giver of the highest caliber!

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.
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.

Availability
I work from home, and my husband is home by 3p every day. Other than a couple hours in the winters at a Thunderbird game, or a few hours on the weekend in summer, someone is home almost all the time. We can have scheduled potties breaks and walks each day and right up to bed time.
