Pet care experience

Care that makes a best friend

I've had experience with all different types of animals from small to huge and newborn to senior. I've been taking care of pets for over 25 years with friends, family, and coworkers who have relied on me to treat their fur babies like my own. I've also had experience with Rover as my daughter has cared for pets in our home and it was an absolutely amazing experience that I want to continue. I have a full time job close to home and I'm home by 2pm everyday. I am off weekends so all my attention will be focused on your pets. I have a fenced backyard and sheltered back patio in case your pet likes to roam around and explore. My family loves to go on walks and hangout outside so your pet can have plenty of exercise and a way to release energy.

We were so happy to find Michelle! It was hard to leave our pup behind for the first time, but we felt secure leaving her with Michelle and her family. Would definitely use her services again.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Michelle is relaxed and knowledgeable, Suki felt right at home and I was never worried about her while I was gone. Definitely will be back!

Michelle always takes great care of our pup, and she was so kind and helpful when our pup had a medical issue during this stay. We appreciate her going above and beyond!

Safety, trust & environment

My backyard is fully fenced and very safe for your pup to enjoy. Big enough to play ball and exercise in. If they are out, I'm out with them.

A typical day

I have a big backyard that your pet can run around and play in. My family and I also love going on hikes in the foothills and walks on the greenbelt where your pet can come along and enjoy with us! There are a few parks around my neighborhood that we walk to and your pet can play fetch.

It is important to know a dog's habits so we can make sure there isn't a drastic change when your pet is over. If there are any health concerns or issues that would be good to know so I can watch for it and work with them.
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.
