Safety, trust & environment

I am quite familiar with dog behavior and can even care for livestock. I make sure I am fully knowledgeable about your pet’s care and schedule ahead of time. If house sitting, I will adhere to your requests and rules.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your dog has any reactivity issues I should be aware of, especially if we'll be walking in the neighborhood. I cannot take care of any aggressive animals. I need to know the temperament of your dog around strangers and other dogs. I highly recommend a Meet and Greet before booking services.

A typical day

I love to engage your dog both physically and mentally. Whether it's a 30 minute drop-in to snuggle on the couch or a brisk walk in the neighborhood, know that your pup and I will have a grand time. And, if you're up to it and close enough, I love taking dogs to Lake Conestee Nature Park to walk the trails. If your dog is social, we can have playdates with my mom's collie, Lady! I know enough about dog interactions and dog behavior to ensure that safety is the utmost concern for your pup while they are in my care.

Pet Lover - Treat Them Like My Own

Pet care experience

As a former animal shelter employee, I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. I have worked with nervous dogs, scared dogs, dogs who just need a little TLC and I'm very good at becoming fast friends with new animals! I love to give time and attention to pets and make their time away from their owners more enjoyable. I've taken care of numerous dogs before (from huskies to collies and more), cared for cats both indoor and out, and even taken care of horses. People who hire me know they can trust me to love their pets like my own and even provide updates. If you hire me, you can be sure you'll get at least 1-2 photo updates each day (if house sitting) or each visit (if just doing drop-in or walking). My own cat is spoiled rotten and I'd love the chance to spoil your fur baby too. I work in education so I am off on weekends and in the evenings. I love to provide care on the weekends especially when I have plenty of time to spend with your furkid! For visits in your home, I am very conscientious and careful to adhere to whatever plans you've left for your pet!

Michelle came over for a meet and greet before her booking during our trip. She’s great with the girls and happy to accommodate all their quirks!

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.
