Hello! First, if you’re new to Rover (Rover will only let new users benefit from the promo, sorry), let me give you my 20% OFF PROMO CODE. Link directly to my profile here: https://www.rover.com/sit/michem79290 Then, use Promo Code: MICHEM79290 A CLARIFICATION: Yes, Rover says I only have a couple of repeat sits, but please don’t get the wrong idea…the clients that book out most of my year are my regular clients (before Rover), so I’m only able to take a few Rover clients a year. The handful of Rover clients I’ve had have all graciously invited me to sit for them, again, and when the dates have worked out, I have. ****IF THE START OR END DATE OF YOUR SIT looks to be unavailable on my calendar, don’t lose hope! Many times, we’re all able to work it out so I can leave one sit in time to make it to the next sit, with no inconvenience to anyone involved, so reach out and ask me about it. You never know til you try! Ok, so about me…I’ve had a variety of pets since childhood, have always watched my friends’ and family’s, and after having an amazing time petsitting cross-country in 2022, decided to make it my full-time situation. I’ve never been happier! I travel all over (mainly Washington and Oregon since 2024), and get to meet cool, new people, and hang out with awesome cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, rabbits, and even a couple of sheep! I sometimes even do a little minor gardening (I’m not a natural, but I’m great at following directions). There isn’t much I haven’t successfully (and calmly) navigated, both with animals and homes. Ask me about my natural disasters bingo card, lol! As a bonus, my aunt was a veterinarian tech, and is nice enough to take my calls, so that’s a helpful arrow in my quiver. I have a lot of experience with senior animals, and pets with anxiety. Most importantly, I love animals, I’m a homebody, an introvert, and this is my only job. I will be in your home, with your pets, about 95% of the time, and I won’t have visitors. My goal is to provide you with a worry-free vacation, with plenty of photos and updates, and to leave your home as good (or better) than I found it. ***I have a high sensitivity to cigarette smoke, so unfortunately, I can only take sits in cigarette smoke-free homes*** Other types of smoke don’t seem to bother me, but cigarettes are a dealbreaker, sorry. I’m a little scent-sensitive, as well, so heavy perfumes, sprays, etc., will just make it worse…I’m the girl who can’t walk down the laundry soap aisle, lol. I’m new to Rover, but I have tons of 5-star reviews on my other websites, and glowing references from my regular clients who are kind enough to recommend me to their friends, as well (and I was able to get a few of them ported over before the cutoff, but just ask if you’d like to see more). Because of this, I’m booked for most of 2026, but I do have some gaps here and there. I thought Rover might be a good way to fill those in, and meet some new, potential regulars. I’m happy to provide those reviews and references upon request. If you’re outside of my stated geographic perimeter, feel free to contact me. The way they do the distance/geography thing on this website limits things, but I go all over WA and OR. CA (and Canada) aren’t out of the question, depending upon the situation/timing.
