Pet care experience

Animal lover with plenty of time

I have taken care of animals most of my life. It's rare that I have went without caring for at least one regularly. I have twin 13 year old daughters that have been dog sitting with me for over four years. I also have a son who is 5 and he loves to play with pups and has grown up helping take care of all different kinds of dogs that come through our house. I have plenty of room for exercise in my back yard and we take long walks several times a day. Your dogs will love staying here! I am a stay at home mom and while the kids are out of school they are a great help. My yard is fenced in and I do have a cat but she is great with dogs as long as they don’t try to mess with her too much. She prefers to be ignored.

michelle and family were very friendly to me and stellah at time of drop off .... made me feel comfortable leaving stellah in their care right from the start .... michelle kept in contact with me with texting and pics throughout stellah's stay to put me in even more of a comfort zone .... stellah really enjoyed michelles giant back yard (i understand stellah did some serious roaming and play activity with the other dogs) .... michelle and her kids showed some serious love to stellah (i could tell as stellah was not as excited to leave with me at pick up as she has been with other sitters) .... it was heart warming when i picked up stellah to see her sitting and offering her attention to michelles boy .... michelles boy said "stellah is my favorite dog" .... michelle will be my go to in the future when we leave town for the family love and apparent exercize stellah received .... i might even drop off stellah once in awhile for the activity & love stellah received even if we are in town .... i highly recommend michelle and family to sit your dog ....

Yoshi Beara had another wonderful stay with Michelle and her family while Mama was away. He returned happy and exhausted, after his play time with all of his friends! Michelle is an angel for me -- whenever I'm gone and Yosh stays with her, I never worry, as I know he is in the best possible place for his health and well-being! He also just has fun!!

My pup loves staying with Michelle! And I know he will be well looked after and entertained. My dog Enzo is always happily worn out after a day of playing at Michelle's! I will absolutely book with her again soon!!

Michelle is amazing! She cares for my Little Lamb as if he were her own! I never worry when I'm gone because I know that Yoshi Beara is part of Michelle's family, and enjoys playing with his Rover brothers and sisters. I'm so thankful that I was able to find Michelle via Rover! It's such a blessing not to worry while I'm gone, knowing that my Baby Boy is so well-cared for! Thank you, Michelle!!

As usual, my little lamb enjoyed his time with Michelle and her family! He came home happy, thinner, and exhausted from all the play time with Michelle's puppies! Michelle goes above and beyond to accommodate my Yoshi Beara, and I am so grateful that she cares for him when I'm out of town.

Schedule

I spend most of my day at home, with the small exception for running errands. If your dog loves car rides than I can even bring them along to pick up the kids from school.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard. I can put them in a kennel if needed while I'm out or if it makes them more comfortable but with me being at home so much throughout the day I usually prefer not to.

Pets

A typical day

I will be sure that your loved one will have the best care outside of its home. We will go on long walks with a nice cool refreshing bowl of water to cool off. They can run free in the back yard and play catch until their hearts content.
