Pet care experience
I grew up with a dog in the household since I was very young and got “my” first dog when I was 10 years old. I started pet-sitting for friends and neighbors when I was 15 and frequently pet-sit or check in on my friends’ animals. I’ve done everything from taking pups on walks, regular feedings, check ins, administering oral medication, and treating topical wounds. I also work at a therapeutic riding center and have cared for about 40 different horses over the past 7 years.
Reviews
Michelle is absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she (and Rosie) immediately set me at ease and set a gold standard. I was able to relax on my trip knowing Korra was in great hands. Her communication and photo updates were the best! Would book with Michelle again in a heartbeat.
Michelle is an amazing human and dog lover! She always takes good care of our pup, who returns to us happy each time. I highly recommend Michelle’s services.
Fantastic understanding of dog behavior. Would use again in a heartbeat. Also, Rosie is a great host dog.
Michelle took great care of my pup! Thank you, Michelle!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two bedroom apartment right next to the Cherryvale Trailhead and will happily take your pup on walks during the day. There are lots of grassy areas around my building (ranch property) for potty breaks and exploring. I have one dog of my own, Rosie, who is a 6 year old mix who enjoys both playing and napping alongside other dogs. We always do controlled greetings so that everyone has a chance to get to know each other through a gate before coming out to play freely.
Home
Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate knowing your pup’s general temperament and if he/she requires any special care or behavior considerations. I’ve looked after dogs that need medication and am comfortable administering oral medication, it’s helpful to know ahead of time if that will be needed. If your pup is particularly high energy that would be helpful to know as well so I can plan for extra walks and fun play time!
A typical day
I live and work on a ranch so I’ll be able to check in on your fur babe frequently throughout the day. I live next to a trailhead so we’ll easily be able to go on walks and exploring each day! I’m happy to send lots of pictures and track our walks so you know your pup is getting plenty of attention and play time.

Availability
I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to be able to take breaks for pet walks, play, and care. I camp on some weekends but am available for weekend sitting/care about twice a month.
