Pet care experience

Kind and trustworthy pet lover!

Hello! My name is Michelle. I have been caring for animals since I was a young kid, because I must say, my negotiation skills and PowerPoints were strong as a 10 year old trying to convince my parents I needed hamsters, guinea pigs, and even a horse (all of which I had). I have consistently provided overnight care a German Shepard and Terrier Mix. I have also provided overnight care for a family member's chihuahua and I have a pitbull of my own. I am confident around countless types of dogs with various temperaments (anxious, food aggressive, excessive energy, dogs with health issues). I am kind, gentle, and overall just a huge animal lover looking to spend time with more pups!! I can always be counted on to be on time and to be someone you really trust with your family member.

Our cats were well cared for and Michelle did everything we asked. She also sent us pics of her visit. Hopefully she will be available for our next trip.

Michelle is a great sitter! She’s extremely communicative, flexible and easy to work with. Always took great care of our cat. We felt comfortable leaving our pet with her, couldn’t ask for anything more!

Michelle was a fantastic sitter! I was nervous leaving my cat alone as I’m always home, but Michelle was incredibly helpful, responsive and made me feel at ease. She was open to connecting earlier through video chat and dropping by to meet my cat prior to pet sitting. She sent me daily updates and pictures of their playtime, which was great for my peace of mind. She was great sitter and very reliable, highly recommend! Thank you again, Michelle! 😊

Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She was friendly, caring, and communicative, including sending photos so I knew for certain that everything was going well. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner .

I have had Michelle watch my two little cats multiple times and she's always been super caring and communicative! There was an issue with my keys last time, and she was super professional and patient and made sure my cats were taken care of. I highly recommend her :)

Special needs and behaviors are definitely important to note. Any habits the animal may have on walks/in public will help greatly to ensure safety for the animal and others around
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.
