Safety, trust & environment

As someone who has had dogs/cats my whole life I know how much they need to be played with, exercised, and fed. I’ve had dogs who need special feeding for diets and always make sure they’re in the best care.

Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet

Dietary restrictions, are they reactive around other dogs/people, medication needs. Knowing the important things about your dogs safety is the key to having a successful relationship.

A typical day

Going out for walks, playing with their toys at home, lots of time for them to be given pets and attention while they rest. Letting your dog feel comfortable and safe while their parents are gone is my main priority.

Dog and cat lover looking to help!

Pet care experience

Ive had dogs my entire life, I love all dogs I meet and love being able to help them when in need! I’ve taken care of dogs from chihuahua sized to a Great Dane. I’m available early mornings and early evenings to late evenings during the week and all day on weekends. I look forward to helping your little friends out and you! Thank you so much for looking and taking the time to consider me as your potential future dog walker or dog sitter. I love going for long walks and don’t mind cleaning up from potty breaks. Furry friends including cats during house sitting are perfectly fine by me! The more furry friends the better in my opinion. I look forward to hearing from you

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.
