Pet care experience

Dog or cat? I love them both!

I’m a true animal lover and have rescued many dogs and cats in my life. I love spending time with dogs just walking, running or playing fetch in an off-leash dog park. I’m a runner so I understand the need for exercise. I work from home most days of the week and I’m very flexible with my schedule. I have taught my own border collie how to do agility and have taken many dog training courses with my own dogs. I believe in positive reinforcement and if you have special training needs you want to keep enforced I will happily follow your rules. I’m willing to take dogs into my home if you need a few days away or will go to your home if that is better for the dog. I will walk your alone if you prefer - however I have a dog of my own who loves other dogs and would be happy to be a playmate with your dog. If you want me to check in and spend time with your cat, I’m your girl! I love cats as much as dogs and I have a cat of my own. My cat loves human affection and belly rubs. I am comfortable clipping nails, brushing teeth and basic grooming.

Michelle has taken such good care of my puppy Pippa! She’s reliable, playful and sweet with the pup and always sends photos and updates.

Michelle is super positive, attentive and caring. She practically saved my dog's life when he started having a laryngeal spasm....newly diagnosed.

Michelle is unreal! She is the most trustworthy, caring, kind, and active dog-sitter! I was nervous to leave Sunny for the weekend but Michelle made it so easy! xo

This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous to leave my fur baby for the first time. Michelle made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her and went ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I could have hoped for. Michelle always kept me updated on Sandy’s adventures (which included cross country skiing, 10k runs, snuggles and play time with her beautiful dog Lucy). The pictures and messages she sent made me so happy! Thank you Michelle and Lucy, I would recommend you to any fur mom ❤️
