Michelle L.'s Neighborhood

I'm a housesitting specialist. 😃

Pet care experience

I have been house sitting and pet sitting for a while now. And I really do enjoy my work. This is my first time using Rover. Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life. I help my partner take care of his boarding and daycare clients. I'm a big fan of dogs and cats. They love me too. I'm a former social worker. But these days I cherish the time I get to spend with my pet clients.

Michelle was wonderful. One of our dogs was very aggressive initially when Michelle came to start her visit even after a meet-and-greet. However, she was willing to come back in with our friend for a safe introduction so we didn’t have turn around and come home from out of town. She was very accommodating and provided plenty of updates/pictures throughout her stay. Would highly recommend!

Michelle is 10 stars. I was impressed from the moment i met Michelle with her preparation and attention to detail. I left the country for 2 weeks and she went above and beyond keeping me updated and taking great care of 5 cats and a bird! I had no worries while i was away thanks to Michelle

Michelle is not only a delightful person, she also treats animals with patience and compassion. She has cared for my dogs on several occasions and I will use her services again for my next vacay. I suggest that you do the same!
