Pet Lover - Treat Them Like My Own

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!

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.

House Sitting • Jul 26, 2026

Michelle was an amazing house sitter for our two cats. She sent us constant updates, and really got to know them and their personalities. We could tell how much she enjoyed them, and how comfortable they were in her care. The house was in perfect shape when we came back, and she even generously agreed to help keep our outdoor plants alive through a heat wave. She was very communicative about her schedule, and made sure the girls and their routines were a priority. It was a huge relief to have her at the house with them while we were gone. Highly recommend!

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!

Schedule

I work full time during the school year so I am only available on weekends until the summer. On weekends, I am available for drop ins throughout the day. If house sitting, I will adhere to your schedule though your pets will need to be okay with me being gone to work 8-4:30.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Michelle can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
