Pet care experience

Caring and compassionate sitter

My parents owned a doggy daycare and boarding place for dogs - I would watch over 40 dogs and ensure dogs never got into fights. I also have pet sat my neighbor’s dogs and cats and did drop in visits. And back in NJ, I always visit and look after my parent’s dog Bailey who is a yellow lab!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 17, 2026

Michelle was an excellent cat-sitter for my two boys while I was gone for a week. I appreciated her attention to detail, responsiveness and proactiveness (e.g., cleaning up a hairball situation without being asked, etc!). She was very easy to communicate with and I would definitely recommend her services!!

Michelle was absolutely amazing with Maddie!! She sent pictures and messages throughout the day so I knew she was ok. Maddie isn't great at meeting new people, but she loved Michelle and her roommate and Michelle worked with me to make sure she wouldn't have yo be around anyone else while I was away. Cannot recommend her enough! I will definitely be booking with Michelle in the future!

Michelle was awesome with my Siberian Husky, Bear. She kept communication open throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates. She was super reliable, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Bear was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!

Can highly recommend Michelle as a pet sitter/caregiver! She is easy to reach/quick to communicate, was respectful in my home, and so sweet to my pet. 10/10 Rover sitting experience, and will definitely be rebooking.

Michelle has been a caring, loving and responsible caregiver to our Yellow Labrador, Bailey for the past 5 years. She always makes sure Bailey is fed at the appropriate time and with the correct amount of food. Michelle is also great at taking Bailey out for walks making sure she has plenty of time to relieve herself. I'm also aware that Michelle has worked at a dog boarding and dog daycare facility where she was responsible for watching and caring for several dogs at a time. She is patient and always has the dogs' best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Michelle to care for your furry loved one.

I am currently searching for a new job and am doing Rover in the meantime! I’m available all day. Side note: I live with a female roommate and my boyfriend likes to sleep over on weekends. Both of them are comfortable around dogs and cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand to get to know you both and learn what needs to be done! In general, for client visits, I will always check in with your pet by giving them pets and/or scratches if they prefer. I’ll check to make sure they have enough food and water or feed your pet right away. After, I’ll go on a short or long walk for dogs. And of course, extra pets/scratches once your pet returns phone and double checking that the door/house is locked.

A typical day

I like to make sure your pets stay active and feel comfortable. Please let me know what type of activities they enjoy whether it be longer walks and sniffing around the neighborhood, playing with more toys, or lots of scratches!
