Exp Pet Sitter to the Rescue!

Pet care experience

My first love was my dog for 18 years. Then several cats over the years. I've been a Rover sitter since 2018 and absolutely love watching over pets while their parents are away. My tenaciousness, deep sense of responsibility with other peoples’ pets and love for animals make me well suited to be a pet sitter. I always go above and beyond and it doesn’t feel like extra work to do that, it’s just in my nature. My clients appreciate the fact that I give both their pets constant attention and am sure to keep the owners updated with check ins, photos, and feeding updates. I take care of their pets as if they were my own. Unfortunately my new residence in St. Pete doesn't allow more than one pet, so now I'm exclusively pet sitting at each client's home. I'm happy to travel to your home to take care of your pet overnight or all-day.

Michelle provided amazing services while caring for my boy. Check-ins with pics while out on walks and overall info on his behavior while away from his family. Michelle put ease to any concerns I had being a first time user.

Michelle is great! Very easy to communicate with and has a clean home in a great gated Nieghbor hood. She was able to take my dog on a short notice and pickup and drop off was no hassle I will be using her again in the future. Thanks Michelle :)

First time using a service and first time using Michelle. We have a 1 year old beagle that is all boy and all puppy that we have never left with anyone. Michelle was caring, communicative, and awesome! She texted me during his stay to let me know how he was doing and gave me a full report when we went to pick him up. My highest thank you and highest rating!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very respectful of people's homes and privacy. I'll contain myself to the appropriate rooms and never abuse the privilege of watching your pet nor the trust you put in me.

Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

I'm a very fit and strong person, but I'm also petite. Large dogs can be a challenge sometimes. Any type of cat is great with me!

A typical day

If I'm dog sitting it's always fun to check out a local park, outdoor cafe or just work on the old pedometer. If I'm cat sitting it's fun to watch cat TV, play with a mouse or tunnel or sometimes just pet them to sleep.
