Pet care experience

Large fenced yard & near dog park

Over 13 years of experience loving on dogs, including young pups, seniors, and special needs. I think it's an honor and privilege to take in another's dog and am available most weekends and during the week to gladly help. There's plenty of room in my house and a very secure fenced yard to play. I spend a lot of time socializing at the dog park and try to take my dogs out for a walk twice a day. There are many toys here for dogs to enjoy and I will only feed them what I'm asked. I also have many years of experience giving medication to dog(s) if needed. I have two very loving, submissive, happy dogs that welcome the company and are current on all vaccinations. I'm happy to do a trial run in a neutral location if you're interested or you're more than welcome to come over and take a look at the premises. My dogs are allowed on the beds and furniture, however, I'll respect your wishes if your dog(s) aren't. I currently work semi-part time, however, only live about 1 mile from work. I don't like leaving my dogs alone for any length of time as they're my first priority. The longest stretch I'm gone is around four hours. However, I do have a live video and audio feed so I can keep an eye on the dogs and talk to them. While your dog(s) are staying at my place I will send pics and video as I think it's important for you to see what they're up to while you're away and get some peace of mind :).

Michelle was a great sitter! We got daily updates and good communication. Our puppy is still working on socializing and potty training and Michelle was very patient with her. Highly recommend!

Michelle is wonderful! We had to find someone very last minute to watch our dog for a long trip and we are so very lucky to have found Michelle! It was our first time using rover and first time with our dog staying with someone other than family. We did a trial night and I could tell Michelle was ensuring our dogs success with her and making sure it would be a good fit for him. We felt so comfortable and at ease the entire time we were gone. We got daily pictures and updates and could see how happy he was, playing with his new buddies Vinnie and Buoy. We will without a doubt use Michelle for all future travels!

Michelle is absolutely the best, so communicated quickly the entire time and sent many fun photos. She even suggested we meet-up ahead of time and makes sure the dogs got along. Everything went so smooth, I know our dog is ready to go back and play with her new friends!

Michelle was great! She was responsive and on time. She really cares about dogs and mom’d ours very well while we were out of town for the weekend! Loads of updates and pics really put my daughter’s heart at ease.

It would be great to learn about a dog's personality before sitting as well as eating routines, any special quirks, sleeping preferences, etc. I have no preference on breed, however, welcome only non-alpha dogs into my home. It'd be great if your dog wasn't a digger either, however, I do have a sandbox for their instinctive needs :).
