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 was great and Birdie seemed so happy! We really appreciated her flexibility with pick up.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Michelle and her son extended to Clare. Michelle exuded confidence right off the bat as a pet lover. And when our flight was delayed, she was non-pulsed when we needed her to keep Clare for an extra, unplanned overnight. We look forward to calling on Michelle again!

Michelle is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and felt safe during the meet and greet and first full visit. He came home happy tuckered out after a great day. Would definitely recommend!

All went well with Buttercup’s stay with Michelle while we were away for 5 days, and Buttercup came home contented and well cared for. Michelle even made the extra effort to drive up some dog toys to is that gor left behind at her place the next day. Buttercup was beyond thrilled to see her show up at her house which tells me that she was well cared for. We would definitely use Michelle again!

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.
