Highlights
Pet care experience
(Past job) Vet Assistant loves dogs
I focus on positive reinforcement with training and am comfortable starting or continuing training routines as needed. I am comfortable giving medications - vetsulin, pills, injectables, glucose readings, nail trims, etc. I love dogs! I was originally interested in pursuing a career as a veterinarian. I have a B.S. in Animal Science and Management from UC Davis. I have worked part time for 3 years at a doggie boarding company. I have worked as a veterinary assistant part time for 3 years as well. I worked for about 6 months total with sleddogs in Alaska. That experience involved very comprehensive dog care. I would love to watch your dog or cat - Rover is an opportunity for me to get more animal time. I am an avid runner and frequent dog park attendee, so I can dog sit very active or less active dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Michelle took great care of our pups 🙏
Michelle did a fantastic job with our two boys (93 lb golden retriever and a mini dachshund) while she house sat for us. She spent a lot of quality time and even taught them some new games (hide and seek) and made sure they were engaged with sniffing walks. She struck a great balance between our two dogs by being engaged (with our friendly golden) and gave our mini dachshund some time to warm up to her which he ultimately did even though he is very timid around new people. She was communicative, provided daily updates, and even had great questions for us that we hadn't thought of before the job started. We're already started working to get her scheduled for our next trip!
Michelle took fantastic care of our two big dogs for 5 days while we were away! She went above and beyond our expectations and we plan to work with her again in the future!
Michelle was awesome in taking care of our cat who needed special attention. She was communicative and responsive. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting jobs!
Michelle was wonderful! She was a huge help
Excellent experience. Michelle is conscientious, accommodating and a great communicator. She was able to handle our large GSP on a walk and even took him for a run. Highly recommend.

Schedule
My schedule is a bit all over the place due to grad school which does allow for flexibility for scheduling dog walks and overall care.

Safety, trust & environment
I can accommodate special requests - such as daily vacuuming, grooming or litter cleaning, etc. Just let me know your routine in advance of the stay.

A typical day
I live by the beach with a one year old Border Collie so we can cater experienced to fit our guest! We frequently go to Mori Point, local dog parks, Fort Funston, ocean beach, Stern Grove or Golden Gate Park for walks and playtime. I also enjoy running, so we do a fair amount of street running or walking.
