Michelle can care for
Availability
My schedule is centered around reliable dog walking and drop-in pet care while pet parents are at work or out during the day. I’m available 7 days a week to offer consistent walks, potty breaks, and check-ins so you can confidently plan around dependable care. Every pet and household is different, and I’m also open to additional hours outside this window upon request as I continue expanding my services on Rover. Feel free to reach out if you need a time outside this range as i'm happy to see what I can accommodate.

About Michelle L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I respect your home and privacy and keep my visits focused on your pet’s care. My priority is meeting your pet’s needs during each visit while keeping my presence in your home low-impact and professional. I follow all instructions carefully and am happy to help with light pet-related tasks or home routines if requested. Before leaving, I’ll always ensure your home is secure. During walks, I maintain careful leash handling at all times, staying aware of surroundings and avoiding unnecessary risks to keep your dog safe. I use calm, positive handling techniques so pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. You can also expect clear communication and updates during visits, so you always know how your pet is doing.
Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your dog’s preferences so I can give them the best possible care. Please share if they can have treats, have any allergies, their favorite ways to play, and any boundaries such as sensitivity to paws, reactivity, or handling preferences. It’s also helpful to know about leash behavior, health needs, or special routines so I can keep them safe, comfortable, and happy during our time together.
A typical day
I enjoy spending quality time with pets in ways that match their personality and energy level—whether that’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, light training practice, or plenty of belly rubs. My dog, Hakoda, is a cuddler and has a serious fetch addiction, so I’m very comfortable switching between active play and calm companionship depending on what each pet enjoys. If your dog or cat loves to stay active and engaged, I’m happy to match that energy and make our time together fun and rewarding. For more relaxed or cuddly dogs or cats, I also enjoy spending calm comforting time with them so they feel safe relaxed and cared for while building their confidence and giving you peace of mind when you are away.

Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs my whole life and bring both personal and professional experience caring for animals. I am always the one that pet sits for friends and family and it's probably because I was a manager at a large pet store before. I managed and lead daily care routines and orders for a store-full of pets, supervising any staff responsible for their care and training, so you can trust your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands from someone experienced and committed to your pet's well-being as nature and animals have always been a major passion of mine. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, and keeping up with any home routines or training your pet is used to while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I can also assist with basic care for other kinds of animals and house plants upon request! I know it can be scary for some pets to be apart from their families, but I’ll treat your pet like my own with empathetic care that fosters safety and connection for them. With experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, I’m comfortable adapting to different energy levels, personalities, and individual needs to provide the best care for your pet.

Michelle was amazing! From our first meeting to updates throughout the visit. My dog loved her and she was amazing with him.
