Pet care experience

I will treat your dog as my own

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. -Anonymous How many people can say they get to use their passion for dogs and work at the same time? That is my dream! Ive also owned several dogs, large and small, over my 55 years. I had a Golden Retriever and an American Eskimo for 14 years.Ive had a Viszla and now have a Pitbull mix. I've also taken care of my friends and neighbors dogs. I love walking- neighborhoods, parks, trails, hikes, or the dog park. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I lived in FL. and just moved here in January. Give me a chance with your four legged friend and I promise you won't regret it. Thank you. P.S.PLEASE check out my precious photos!! And the price is always negotiable. I just love dogs I am wanting to make this a part time job. I was on Rover about three years and would like to start again. I am available most times of the day. I’m offering dog walking or visits in your home. I have never had an issues happen. I always take precautions to keep your pet safe no matter what.

Michelle was fantastic!! Spent the quality time we wanted for our pups, super friendly, and communicated with us throughout. We look forward to having her stay with our pups again!

Michelle was absolutely amazing with our pets. She cared for them as if they were her own, giving them so much love and attention while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We couldn’t recommend Michelle more highly!

Michelle was great! She also was very accommodating for a last minute booking. She stayed at our home for the weekend and took good care of our dog who is old and sick. She communicated well throughout the process. We will definitely use her again!

Michelle helped us with a last minute cancellation. She was professional, responsive and had the patience to work with our shy kitty. We've already scheduled another drop in with her!

Services with Michelle was a breath of fresh of air to say the least. I booked her for drop in visits and she was accommodating to my schedule when I was running late to drop off the key from work. She even offered to bring an extra blanket for my kittens since it was a wintery weekend! It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be booking Michelle again!

Usually dogs love consistency so I would follow their normal routine especially to make them more comfortable with me at first. And any instructions I’m given I follow always.
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.
