Pet care experience

Attentive dog walker to your rescue

As a teacher, I know each dog is unique and individual. I’m a cautious and observant pet sitter who strives to do what’s best for your pet. I prefer written directions as I know each dog has unique needs and do my best to follow them. I’ve been lucky to grow up with a cairn terrier, to have been a pet sitter for my sister’s pets for five years before I joined Rover, and I’m the mama of an adorable Labrador Husky. Looking forward to meeting your pack!

Michelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and a cat! She came over to meet our animals she’d of time and review their needs and care. She was great with all The animals and her care shone through! She was on time, communication was ongoing throughout our trip and we chatted about any updates and any issues while we were away! Fully recommend and we will have Michelle watch our animals again!

I felt so at ease after meeting Michelle. Our pup is an almost 2 year old rescue that we adopted 4 months ago. This was the first time leaving here other than an intro at a daycare center. Michelle is friendly and seems to really love dogs. She was very diligent about learning our dog’s routine, likes and dislikes. Our pup seemed happy when we picked her up, and even taking her back for her first “over night” stay our pup seemed secure in being left in Michelle’s care.

Schedule

I’m an online teacher (home full time) who teaches part time summer school as well. I have time during my prep time, after classes and on the weekends to play with your dog and give walks. If your dog allows, I will walk them when I walk my dog, which is 3x a day.

A typical day

I love to bring dogs on both their familiar routes and some new ones. I also like to play fetch with them and maybe just relaxing in a park. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys if you prefer your fur baby to not go out of the home.
