Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet

I need details! Is your dog "dog-friendly"? Meaning ok with encountering other dogs in its walking path? Shy? A rescue, who may not like certain areas petted? Allergies? Special needs?

A typical day

I’m athletic- swimmer, jogger, walker and biker- BUT I'm a better snuggler with a pet-in need of love and attention. My one cat, Quebec, is an indoor/outdoor explorer, who has more canine traits than feline. He visits and greets many dogs in the community and is a "known" socialite.

Animal Lover Who Works Remotely

Pet care experience

I'm a work-from-home marketing content writer living in a dog-friendly community, located a mile from Schiller Park. I’ve been working remote for over 3 years and although that allows me to adopt a dog, I'd rather utilize my flexible schedule by working more. My home is a two bedroom, two-floor set up with a fenced-in backyard. I'm originally from Gahanna, went to high school in Bexley, and graduated from OSU. BUT, I've called Brooklyn, Montreal, Canada, Chicago, Cincinnati and Florence, Italy all home at one time. I am active and willing to drive, but my ideal assignment would be to walk a dog or host a dog for up to 8 hours or overnight , within a 4 mile radius in the central columbus area.

This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and Michelle made it such an easy and great experience. Michelle provided lots of pictures and videos and made sure my Aussie got plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave my dog with her 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.
