I am retired from the Fire Service and make your pets my priority. I interact with the dogs all over my property during their stay. I keep them busy and engaged in play with other dogs. I work on their socialization skills with dogs of various ages.

Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs. Just need to know any of your pets injuries or special needs.Let me know if they are a chewer or aggressive so I can best help them adjust.

A typical day

Will walk the neighborhood and play chuck it all over my backyard. I have dog toys, frisbees and balls to entertain your fur babies. During summer season I can work with your dogs on aquatic therapy and familiarization/comfort with pool area.

Pet care experience

To be a good neighbor, To limit happy yappy dog noise, drop off/pick ups are between the hours of 8am-8pm. If you have early or late vacation flights we will need to board dog before or after if they fall outside of our 8-8 time frame. Feel free to message with any questions before booking. Need aquatic therapy? Pool newly remodeled for canine aquatic therapy. Swim time in the summer heat for your fur babies with weight or joint issues. Need training? My partner is a professional K9 trainer. Feel free to inquire about 6 week dog training instruction. We can get your best friend trained up and make you a proud owner. I have cared for animals since I was a child. I have had dogs,cats,birds, horses, fish hamsters, mice, chickens... Currently I have a Pomeranian who is 13 and a Goldendoodle pup that was a client first. I have multi fenced off areas of my yard. I can handle medication management and special diets no problem. I can be flexible to assist client needs. I have cared for donkeys, alpacas, turkeys,aviaries, ducks. I have lived on a ranch and also cared for a friends mini ranch when she relocated out of State. Love helping animals. My schedule is flexible and I understand at times unexpected things come up. I’m willing to meet a clients needs as best I can. Book early for summer vacations and holidays.

Michelle and her husband are lovely. Dre had a great day with so much play time, Michelle even corrected his jumping behavior and for the first time in a while he did not jump on my husband when he got home, which is amazing. They have a beautiful backyard and a wonderful pool the dogs can swim in. I’ll definitely be bringing Dre back again for day care 😊

Rocky seemed to have a great time at Michelle’s! He came back relaxed and happy. She sent lots of pictures to make sure I was kept in the loop. Great experience for our first time using Rover

Thank you Michelle for being an attentive & caring dog sitter! You made me instantly comfortable leaving Artemis with you and the other pups for the first time. It’s great how you introduce new dogs to the rest of the pack one by one - I really appreciated that and the photo updates!

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.
