Overall great human. Was kind and caring and very understanding when I had a delay in travel! I can only imagine that my pup Charlie felt the same way.

Not a lot if any of unprompted communication, maybe one time, from her when I was gone for multiple days. Send me like 1 or 2 pics of my dog over multiple days. I have left my dog with a sitter almost app for multiple days while I was in South Korea. And I did not have to over explain two sitters in the past that I wanted at bare minimum least a sentence and a picture of my dog each day but Michelle she did not. Will not be using again

Michelle took great care of Zelda while I was away. She provided daily updates, followed all care instructions, and went above and beyond to tidy up after herself. I would definitely work with Michelle again.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment with my adult golden retriever. She is great with other animals, sweet, well mannered, and doesn’t chew on anything. Due to the size of my place I can only board smaller breeds at this time. If I am house sitting for you I will need to bring my dog with me. I'm neat and tidy and like to leave things as if I've never been there or better.

Pets

A typical day

I love walks and hikes and couch cuddles and nothing makes those things better than a dog or two. When the weather is right, I love to be outside with animals.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Michelle can host up to 2 pets per night
It's important for me to know how your dog responds to other pets and people while on a leash. I also like to know if your animal likes longer or shorter walks. And Lastly, if they enjoy car rides.
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.
