Pet care experience

Friendly, respectful dog sitter

I have taken care of my dog, Barney, since he was a puppy (he’s now a happy, healthy, spoiled 13 year old)! I’ve also helped take care of big dogs (retrievers) and love lounging around with dogs/cats :) I am a very patient, relaxed person and work best with dogs with lower energy needs. A bit more about me - I am an recent Education grad at UCLA and also have extensive experience working with kids. I adore dogs and cats and would love to get to know your pet!

My partner and I are very glad to have found Michelle. She is responsive, punctual, and made every effort to accommodate our tight schedule. More importantly, she quickly demonstrated competence in understanding, engaging with and caring for our three dogs. She followed instructions carefully, has a sharp memory (as our requests were verbal) and anticipated more than we realized we needed. She went above and beyond. We had plenty of anxiety in leaving our pups with a stranger, but Michelle was the remedy we needed!

Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and 2 cats! Would absolutely book again. She is very responsive and sends lots of pics, which was very appreciated.

Michelle was wonderful with my two cats- she kept me updated the whole time and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She’s caring, communicative, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

I cannot recommend Michelle enough as a dog sitter. From the very first meet and greet, it was clear that she loves and understands animals. She took such thoughtful care of my senior dog and make sure she felt safe and happy when I was away. She sent me many updates with photos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind cuz I usually get anxious when I’m away from my dog. Michelle is reliable, attentive to detail and gentle. I feel lucky to have found her as a sitter.

We love Michelle! We have used her twice now! She has taken wonderful care of our two kitties and they love her. She communicates so well and keeps us updated about our kitties. Will always be booking her!

Cats

I would love to get to know as much about your dog as possible beforehand and get down to every detail (even up to what walk paths you usually go on)! If your dog is reactive or needs special care, please let me know so we can assess what the best approach would be for dog sitting.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
