Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Michelle! I’m a dedicated dog lover and experienced Rover sitter based in Arlington, Virginia. I live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood surrounded by parks which is perfect for plenty of playtime and exercise. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get lots of attention, affection, and activity. I treat every pet like part of our family and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I send frequent updates and photos to keep you in the loop. I’ve been a Rover sitter for several years and truly love meeting new dogs! I also have a German Shepherd mix who loves having visitors and is great with guests. Please free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶

Michelle was so wonderful with my Ava! She was very communicative, responsive, and did an excellent job caring for Ava. This was our first time using Michelle’s services for overnight sitting and I would recommend her to others. She’s very kind and her dog Murphy was also very sweet! Ava came home very happy and I am more than satisfied with Michelle’s pet sitting services!

Michelle is an amazing caretaker. She always goes above and beyond, whether brushing Winston or cleaning his harness when it's raining outside. We highly recommend Michelle!

Michelle took such great care of Winston! He had a blast playing with Murphy and didn't want to come home!

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.
