Safety, trust & environment

I will follow any instructions you have to keep your pets on their schedule in THEIR home. Their safety is very important to me. They will be in GREAT hands.

Information Michelle K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or quirks. Can they pass another dog on a walk? Do they pull? What command words do you use?

A typical day

If you have a fenced in yard, fetch is a great activity and I will take them on a good walk to get their energy out.

Pets

I ❤️ Pets and exercise!

Pet care experience

I love pets, exercise and all that is involved with loving on your fur babies when you are away. They are in good hands and their happiness is important to me. I am available for dog walks, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting. I know what they need- I have always had a dog/cat and my girls have been pet sitting for a long time and I taught them and am their back up! I am very responsible for your pets’ safety, fitness, nutrition and my schedule is very flexible. I can house sit overnight or make sure they have 3-4 good drop in visits (7am-10pm) while you are away overnight. I will give them a good fast paced walk and play with them in your yard or house. I will give you updates with pictures. I have volunteered at many shelters and have 2 rescue pets of my own and a very affectionate King Charles Cavelier Spaniel ❤️ For OVERNIGHT HOUSESITTING - I do have pets of my own so I will be going back to my house 3X throughout the day, but be at your house 100% of the night and appox 3 hours during the day (depending on my Rover walk/drop in schedule and how many nights I will be at your house). I have checked the box that says I will provide potty breaks/activity every 4-8 hours during the day so my rates reflect that. There are some house sitters that can only commit to coming in the evenings. These details can all be discussed so your expectations are met.

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.
