Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is not comfortable with other dogs I would need to know so I adjust the activities we do. Also, If they have any behavioral tendencies to know of.

A typical day

Your dog is in great hands if you’re looking to burn some energy. Hiking, walking, training, fetching are all activities I do regularly with my pup. We love the Tahoe rim trail and Nevada dog beach trail on Kahle.

Pets

Dog lover and owner in Tahoe.

Pet care experience

My dog and I have recently moved to Reno from South Lake Tahoe. I work remotely and Rover has been a great way to find her new furry friends. Looking to spread the love to other pups for anyone who needs help letting them out at lunch while you’re at work or for overnight care. I work from home and get outside pretty often during the day. My dog is very spoiled in adventure and loves having a companion to join us on walks and even at home. I have been a sitter on Rover for over 4 years and shadow has been known to be my partner in making any pup I watch comfortable and entertained. My pup is very well trained and socialized. We look forward to meeting you and your furry babies!

Michelle is the most reliable and caring pet sitter I have ever encountered. When she takes care of my sweet babies, I don't have to worry. I have total peace of mind to even leave the country for a while. I highly recommend her!

Michelle was great with my dogs. They got their walk and lots of play time with Michelle. I will certainly be happy to book with her again.

Michelle is by far the most amazing, reliable and caring pet sitter I’ve ever encountered. I hope she’ll be there for us for a long time. I felt completely relaxed to leave my precious fur babies behind which has never been the case before. She is simply THE BEST!!!

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.
