Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

Open communication is key to planning a great stay for your pet. I will do my best to accommodate a dog’s individual needs, but will be honest if I am not confident that I can.

A typical day

A typical day would ideally mirror what happens at home, as much as possible. Happy to play fetch or other favorite activities - would rely on guidance from each owner.

The Best Best “HairBnB”

Pet care experience

I grew up with all types of dog breeds, from pure breeds to rescues. I have always had dogs in my home. I recently relocated with my teenage son. We miss having pets, so until we can rescue our own animals again, we want to enjoy helping to care for our community pets. My son wants to be a vet…and a basketball player. 😊

Michelle took great care of our high maintenance English bulldog while we were away for a week! Due to his breed, he requires quite a bit of extra attention and Michelle went above and beyond!

Michelle was fantastic! We were away for two weeks and felt completely at ease the whole time. She sent regular photo updates, responded quickly whenever we reached out, and when our plans changed and we were able to pick up Pogie a day early, she was totally flexible and accommodating. She even got him toys to play with, and we're pretty sure she gave him a bath too — he came home smelling beautiful (no small feat for a wire-haired dog who always looks adorably scruffy regardless!). Most importantly, Pogie came home happy and relaxed — always the best sign. We'd book with Michelle again without hesitation and highly recommend her!

Michelle was great! She took great care of Sully while we were away. I could tell Sully felt right at home.

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.
