Information Michelle J. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let me know if your pet requires any special care needs or if there is something I can do to make them feel as comfortable with me as possible.

Multiple walks, games, cuddling, belly rubs, or special requests are always part of a typical day. I know each dog has their own personality, so I try to make the effort to accommodate their daily needs.

Michelle was an amazing sitter! She took such great care of my two dogs and house. She sent daily updates and pictures and even took them to the park to run! Thank you again Michelle!

Michelle was fantastic. She was able to manage our unique pet situation with ease. We have 2 dogs that do not like each other and cannot interact; we have to keep them separated by gates in our home. We also have a chicken that cannot interact with the dogs. Michelle was a pro at managing this situation. Whenever she had any questions, she was great about texting me to get clarification. She also sent us regular updates and photos so we knew how everyone was doing. She stayed overnight with our pets and walked our dogs every day. I highly recommend Michelle.

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.
