Michelle is fantastic! She was very accommodating and was able to help me out last minute - she was prompt and made us feel at ease leaving our fur baby in her care. Highly recommend!

Michell is awesome!! She went above and beyond taking care our baby. It was the first time we leave our Simba by himself so he was very afraid at first but she did everything possible to make him feel safe and love till they become best friends... She gave us the peace we needed to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands with all the videos and updates she sent everyday. 100000% recommended and we are definitely booking again with her!!!

Michelle was awesome! Yugi normally takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people but loved Michelle immediately. She was very attentive and have great updates while I was out of town. A great experience overall. I will be booking again in the future 😁

I provide a safe and interactive experience for pets in my home as well as when I'm visiting client's homes. I know how it feels when I'm unavailable for my fur kids and will care for yours as you wish.

Pets

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love to keep them active, happy, and comfortable. Some of the activities I plan include: Walks & Outdoor Time – Going on walks tailored to each pet’s energy level, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk. For dogs who enjoy it, we can also play fetch or explore safe outdoor areas. Playtime – Interactive games like tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or hide-and-seek with treats to keep them mentally engaged. Cuddle & Relaxation Time – Not all fun has to be high-energy! I make sure pets also get plenty of calm time, belly rubs, and snuggles if that’s what they enjoy. Training Reinforcement – If owners are working on commands or tricks, I’ll reinforce those during play to help keep pets learning while having fun. Enrichment Activities – Using toys, slow feeders, or scent games to stimulate their minds and prevent boredom. Personalized Care – Every pet is different, so I adjust activities to match their personality, age, and energy level—whether that’s long walks for active pups or gentle play for older companions.

To give pets the best care, I like to learn as much as possible before sitting. Some key things I ask about include: Daily Routine – Feeding schedule, walking times, play preferences, and bedtime routines. Diet & Restrictions – Food type, portion sizes, treats allowed, and any allergies. Health & Medications – Ongoing conditions, special needs, or medications (including how and when to administer them). Behavior & Temperament – Comfort level with strangers, children, or other animals; favorite activities; and any fears or triggers (like loud noises or certain environments). Training & Commands – Words, hand signals, or cues the pet already knows so I can keep consistency. House Rules – Furniture boundaries, crate use, and whether pets are allowed in certain rooms or outside unattended. Emergency Contacts – Vet information, preferred clinic, and how to reach the owner in case of urgent situations.
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.
