Pet care experience

Trusted & Loving!

Hey there! My name is Michelle. I've been taking care of animals my whole life and have been on Rover since 2018. I currently have 3 cats and grew up with dogs. Your baby will get ALL of my attention. We’ll go on walks and play, or just lounge around - whatever they like. Receiving cute pictures is mandatory when you book with me. I look forward to meeting with you and your fur baby!

(I'm a bit of a clean-freak myself!) * Thorough communication. I’ll let you know when I arrive and leave and everything in between. * Nobody else will be in your house during my visit/stay unless prior consent was given. * Photos & updates every day!

Michelle did a great job watching my cat while I was gone. Great communication and made sure Juji was well taken care of!

Michelle is an absolute gem! She not only provided excellent care for my dog and cat, but also went above and beyond in caring for my home. She followed my instructions perfectly, sent regular updates with adorable photos, and took my dog on walks to the park. I'm so grateful for her professionalism and kindness. I'll definitely be using her services again!

Michelle took wonderful care of my dogs. My dogs tend to be skittish but warmed right up to Michelle. I will definitely be calling her for future stays.

Michelle did a great job of taking care of our fur babies! They all seemed happy and healthy when we got home. And Michelle left us a nice water bottle for Tessa’s walk😃😊 Michelle is very sweet, helpful and accommodating, and I definitely recommend having her care for your fur babies! 💗💗

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible. I’m a teacher home for the summer. I usually go to the gym in the morning and try to hit my 10,000 steps a day by walking around my neighborhood!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Michelle can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- Schedules are EVERYTHING to me. I would LOVE a schedule printed, emailed, or texted to me that includes feeding, walking, and potty times. - I also need to know if they take any medication. - What are their favorite things to do? (I had one customer leave me a Chick-Fil-A gift card to go on a "date" with her pup - it made the cutest pics and gave us something to do!)
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.
