Hi, I’m Michelle and I’m a huge dog lover! I’m doing this gig full time so I can devote all my time and energy into caring for your pup. I will be avaible for drop ins, walks, and potential stay overs. I have a spoiled rotten pup named Roman who is a Shih Tzu/Bichon mix. I also had two dogs growing up (chocolate lab and golden doodle) and I loved them both dearly! One of the most important things to me is to love on all the dogs I can. I never want a pup to feel unloved so there will always be lots of walks, play time, and cuddles! I take pet care seriously and have been taking a course in dog CPR, first aid, and safety. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your doggo and I can’t wait to get started! Thank you for checking out my profile and please reach out if you have any questions! Talk to you soon! I’m doing this full time so I have open availability for drop ins and walks! I try to take weekends off to spend time with my husband. :) I will not let dogs off leash unless it’s a fenced in backyard. I also keep dogs away from other dogs on walks unless you (the owner) give other instructions.

Boarding • Jul 16, 2026

Michelle took the absolute best care of my sweet boy while I was away for vacation!! I typically board him but the first weeks in July are usually full and she was able to accommodate in a short time frame, she took tons of pictures and videos of my boy which was great relief miles away in another country. First time on Rover and first time leaving Ace (my dog) with another family and I couldn’t be happier, we will definitely be seeing her in the future for any pet sitting needs. Also, she has a dog named Roman and he’s quite adorable and was a great little buddy for Ace. I feel they were attached at the hip in most of his photos lol

Michelle has been a wonderful care provider for our senior dog Chloe. We needed temporary help with daily visits while Chloe recovered from ACL surgery due to restrictions with her activity. Although she was only responsible for Chloe, our other dog Freddie who is usually very shy with people he does not know quickly grew to love her and looked forward to her visits as well. We couldn’t have picked a better provider, she was dependable, kind and trustworthy and we would highly recommend her and use her services again. Thank you so much Michelle we appreciate all that you’ve done for us ❤️❤️❤️!!!

Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter! Her house is meticulous and she has a large fenced yard.She treated our pup lke she was her own. She played with her, took her for walks and even let her sleep with her. She sent me lots of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. We’ve been using Rover for a couple of years and this was by far our best experience yet!.

Always so happy to have Michelle care for our Baxter. He gets so excited when she comes for him. She is great with him and makes him feel so special.

What are their likes/dislikes? Is there anything that sets them off on walks? (I.e. other dogs, skateboards, etc) Do they get along with other dogs? Any temperament issues to be aware of?
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.
