Pet care experience

Dancer who loves playing with pets!

I grew up around 2 different dogs, one large Shepard and one medium Bichon-Frise and they were absolutely my best friends throughout my childhood! In college, my boyfriend and I had a cute little terrier <3 Since college I have lived with a variety of dogs including a border collie named Elliot, a pitbull named Newton and australian cattle dog named Sitka, each for either about a year at a time, helping with walking, playing with toys and snuggles-galore!! I've doggysat my mother's Bichon/Shizu, Mia, several times over the years and sat my neighbor's Pit Bull, Nudie, sat my friends Pit Bull, Badger & Clover! For the last 2 and a half years I adopted a 8 year old dog named Goose, he was a catahoula shepherd lab mix! He passed in July and I miss him every single day :0( <3

Doggy Day Care • May 04, 2026

This was my first time booking on Rover and I couldn’t be happier with how it went with Michelle! She was communicative the whole time and sent pics of my dog looking very happy and cozy. She also was flexible when I asked to change the pickup time.

Michelle was fantastic! She was communicative and shared regular updates. She took Pilot on frequent walks and long off-leash walks in the country! Pilot came back so tired so I know be was having the best time! I will definitely book with Michelle again!

House Sitting • Jul 21, 2024

Michelle went above and beyond watching our three (yes THREE) rowdy boys all day. When I got home, the place was spotless, the boys were exhausted and I got to see pics of their adventure all day. Highly recommend -- it's not easy wrangling all three with such grace.

Michelle watched my dog Beau for two nights and he came Home happy! I communicated how he recently had surgery and she took care to ensure he didn’t hurt himself in his recovery.
