Looking forward to loving your baby

Thank you for considering me to watch your pet! I adore cats and dogs alike and can offer many services for you and your pet. I'm happy to make home visits, walk your dog, and house sit. I'm caring, patient, detail-oriented, and focused on safety. I've completed over 400 bookings through Rover alone, so I have experience with a variety of pets and personalities!

I’ve booked with Michelle more than once, and she always takes wonderful care of our pups! She’s reliable, follows all instructions, and keeps me updated throughout the visit. I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in her care and will absolutely book with her again!

Michelle was absolutely amazing! She was so accommodating with our last-minute booking and took wonderful care of Gunner and Scout. She is incredibly responsible, kept us updated the entire time, and is just so great with them. We appreciate her so much and will definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend! 🐾

I ask that every new client completes a Meet & Greet with me so that we can make sure we are a good fit! Here are some questions I usually ask: -Does your pet have a favorite toy? -Does your pet have a favorite treat? -How would you like us to spend our time together? -Is your pet current on vaccinations and on a flea preventative? -Is your pet okay to be on their own for 4-6 hours? -Is your pet currently on any medications? -Does your pet have any history of biting? -How would you like for me to get in and out of your home (key, code, etc?) -Will your pet be under anyone else's care while they are in my care?
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.
