Pet care experience
I love dogs and cats and treat them as my own! I am pet-less for the first time in my adult life and I am returning to pet sitting and cannot wait to give your fur-babies some love and care. I lost my sweet, diabetic, blind, senior Maltese with Cushing's Disease in 2019 and I know how difficult it was every single time I traveled to find someone I trusted to care for him, including giving him his insulin, giving him his Cushings meds and making sure he didn't fall off a piece of furniture. I want to help care for other people's fur babies and to provide you the reassurance that the same thing that happened to me will not happen to you (he was not staying with a Rover sitter!). I am a master at giving meds and insulin shots (did so for 6 years) and I love caring for senior or special needs dogs or cats, or helping them recover from surgery or a hospitalization, if needed. I also grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I am a trustworthy person of my word, and if I tell you I will be there at a certain time, I will be there. And I know how important consistency is in medication administration. I take the commitment to care for your fur babies as seriously as if they are my own which was often hard for me to find as a long-time pet owner.
Reviews
Michelle was great! This was our first time using Rover and will use it (and her) again. House was left clean and tidy- she even washed and dried the sheets. I got lots of updates on our pup and he was well loved and cared for.
Michelle was great!! She was so friendly and sent us numerous updates every day about our puppy. We felt comfortable leaving her there and will definitely have her watch our puppy again!
Michelle was so wonderful! She stayed at our home with our dog and arrived when she said she would. She sent pics and updates and everything! So thankful for her care of our pup!
Michelle was great with our dogs! We have a senior dog and even he warmed up to her ❤️ I recommend Michelle. We felt comfortable with her being in our home and with our dogs.

Glad to care for you fur baby in their home environment where they are comfortable. I am also glad to care for them in my home, a spacious 2br apartment with balcony. I work with all kinds of dogs and cats and love building their trust and making them happy and comfortable.
Home
Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet
I love to do a meet and greet so the dog or cat can smell me and get familiar. I am comfortable with sick senior animals or higher energy younger dogs. I always take detailed notes about their schedules, medications, medical history and needs.
A typical day
I love to go for walks or sit and cuddle with your fur baby, whatever they enjoy and are up for. Keeping them in their routine and schedule is usually easiest for them when their owners are not around. I tailor my stays and walks to each owners/dogs needs!
