I will treat your dog as my own

Pet care experience

"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 50 years. I just got a 9 month old puppy so I am in heaven!I had a Golden Retriever and an American Eskimo for 14 years. I've also taken care of my friends and neighbors dogs. I love walking- neighborhoods, parks, trails, hikes, or the dog park. I volunteer at an animal shelter and walk the dogs whenever I can. 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 have been on Rover about three years. I am available most times of the day. I’m offering dog walking or visits. I have never had an issues happen. I always take precautions to keep your pet safe no matter what.

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!

Michelle was absolutely fantastic with my puppy! She was willing to do a meet and greet to get acquainted with everything before the actual drop in. She was very quick to respond and willing to help out with whatever she could to take extra care of my little Roger! I thoroughly trust her to go above and beyond for my pup everytime!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not take dogs in my home since my new dog has social anxiety with other dogs. Maybe if they met first. The yard is HUGE.

Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I am open to whatever mom and dad say. I'm a very active, healthy person who loves walks anywhere- neighborhoods, parks, or trails. I am here to make your dog happy and have fun. It is their walk, not mine.
