Pet care experience

Big or Small I love them all

I have experience with animals from young to senior citizens. Big or small, cat or dog, (or chicken or cow or horse!), they all steal my heart. I’m happy to practice any commands you’re working on with your puppy. I love brushing cats and dogs (though I’m not a groomer!) and I love a good walk, around the block or on the trails! Most of all, I strive to maintain consistency in your pet’s routine and provide a loving and caring presence while you’re away.Please note that I work Monday through Friday in-office and am not available for midday drop ins.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet and every home with respect. I require a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure a good fit for your pets. I adhere to your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress, and I happily provide photo and video updates throughout the visit so you know they’re happy and secure . I double check safety such as doors and latches and I’m happy to bring in mail and packages so your home looks occupied while you’re away!

Michelle took excellent care of my dog and my apartment for a weekend stay. She gave multiple updates throughout her stay. My boy appreciated having her company.

We are so grateful to have found Michelle. Zula absolutely loves her, and knowing our dog and home were in such good hands allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. Michelle took amazing care of everything, and we would happily ask for her help again. We highly recommend her!

Schedule

I’m a doctoral student with a laptop so I can do my work from anywhere! I’m available 7 days a week for drop ins or overnights. I do have a day job so overnights will be after work through before work Monday through Friday, like a normal day for your fur babies if you work, too! I love dog walking! Please note: I cannot currently accommodate mid-day walks due to my work role Monday through Friday.

Michelle can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet has any special considerations (like hates other dogs, or is scared of loud trucks). It’s super helpful to know what your first kids love, hate, and shy away from. I want to support their comfort and safety.
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.
