Pet care experience

Human to Adaline and Gilmore

I grew up surrounded by pets. As a child, we had a toy poodle named Pebbles. Currently I am a devoted human to Gilmore (10 year old cat) and Adaline (1 year old kitten) with extensive experience in caring for special needs pets, I understand the importance of trust, timeliness, and consistency as well as the compassion and affection needed to care for Gods adorable creatures. I have over 30 years of raising and nurturing multiple cats that were asthmatic. Atia required round the clock care, oral medications, as well as inhalers. My current cat, Gilmore requires oral medications that fluctuate with seasonal allergies and weather changes. My own pet ownership has taught me to be an advocate for a pet’s safety, care, and health. I make it a standard practice to request a pre-home visit to ensure I have a clear understanding of your pets needs, the location of their supplies, and to ask any additional questions about their preferences and routine.

Michelle was amazing with our cat! Our cat required topical cream and medicine and she didn’t have a problem with that at all! I loved the pictures every time she dropped in and always gave him extra love!

Michelle did an incredible job caring for my cat Carl, she had great communication, she followed all instructions carefully, treated Carl like family, sent several great pictures, and left detailed notes after the drop-ins. I highly recommend booking with Michelle!

Michelle provided our cat with loving care. He is an older cat, and she knows just how to keep him happy. Also, she takes great care of our home.

It is important to me to meet and greet your pet prior to my initial home visit. This allows me to care for your pet with as much love and care as you do.
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.
