Pet care experience

Nursing student & pet lover!

My love for animals started at a very early age, where I even started my own dog walking business in high school for clients in my neighborhood! During college, I would often volunteer at my local shelter to either take dogs out for a day or to foster kittens. This experience taught me how to care for cats all the way from 5 weeks up to senior cats. Additionally, I have years of experience taking care of pets both in my home and in others home. My experience includes both friends/family as well as other clientele and I have worked with dogs of all sizes. My best friend is also a vet student and has years of experience as a vet tech and has been giving me tips for many years. I also can reach out to her on short notice for any emergencies and quick questions.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large apartment with a small dog park right next to my apartment! I will be sure to keep your dog on a leash at all times while outside of my home. I do have two cats who are mostly shy and will keep a section of my apartment gated both for my pets and your pets safety/comfort.

Michelle did a great job! She was communicative during each visit and made sure to give our pet some quality play time. I would recommend her for drop-ins to any cat parent!

Michelle did an amazing job taking care of our 2 furry kids. She is just the perfect person to trust with your home and your pets. We hope to have her stay again on our next trip away.

Michelle is the most caring, detail oriented, thorough, communicative person…I am thrilled to have found her as are my very selective and discerning kitties. They don’t take to everyone and they definitely were very happy with Michelle and calm when I got home. Will continue to request Michelle to come to my home and care for my fur babies

Michelle was amazing! She helped us out in a last-minute pinch and took such great care of our pups. Super reliable, responsive, and easy to work with — highly recommend!

Schedule

I am currently a full-time nursing student so I do have classes and clinicals during the week! My weekends (Fri-Sun) are almost always free so check my calendar and I’m often only in class for a couple hours at a time with a 1-2 hour lunch break to make a stop to check on your pets!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Michelle can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if there are any special requests for a dog such as medication needs. I have experience working with all kinds of breeds from poodles to Rottweilers as long as the dog is non-aggressive, I can handle them!
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.
