Pet care experience

7yr exp. w/ dogs as a Vet Assistant

Hi my name is Michelle. I am currently working part time as a trauma tech and full time mom. I have 7 years as a Veterinary Assistant taking care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I have had past training with how to handle pets safely, administer medication, dog bathing, nail trims, ear flush and more! I have a lot of experience to bring to you and your pet to make sure that your pet is happy and healthy. I've had 3 French Bulldogs in the past and sadly 2 of them had crossed the rainbow bridge. I currently have a cat named Aurora who was adopted into our family about 3 years ago. Due to my work and daily life schedule, I am able to provide a drop in visit and 30 min walks for pets between the hours of 11am and 1:30pm. I'm currently scheduling services on a day to day basis and not as a weekly scheduled walker due to my schedule changes. If you have questions please feel free to message me and I will try to get back to you within 24 hours. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets takes time and patience even for the most hyper active ones. Every pet is unique in their own way and sometimes require a different approach than others.

Michellr was awesome. This is thr first time we have used Rover and we loved it. I contacted Michelle kind of a last minute thing and she was so nice and responsive. She csme over to meat our dogs before and thst was appreciated. We had Michelle just walk our dogs for 5 days. The weather was not idea, but she still made it every day.

Michelle has been great to our puppy Tucker! Her experience with animals has been extremely helpful whenever our puppy is sick or acting abnormal - and it doesn’t hurt that she also has an adorable French Bulldog of her own to go on walks with our puppy. I highly recommend Michelle to everyone looking for a dog walker in the area!

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet needs a different way to care for them than others. Such as how they prefer to get approached, meds, etc.
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.
