Safety, trust & environment

I try to take care of pets in the owners home, just because it’s more comfortable for them! I let them do their own thing and encourage spending time outside if they can, we spend time inside when they are tired or just don’t like having people over, then i let them be in their own home and i am the guest—usually play and calm time

Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have a breed preference, just concerns with behavior that may be aggressive, I’ve dealt with high energy nice dogs and shy ones as well.

A typical day

I like to include different types of play time, mental stimulation and physical activity. I do a lot of treat hiding and puzzles, along with backyard play.

me + pet sitting = good times

Pet care experience

Started off with dropping in at my manager’s house to check in with her dogs when she couldn’t find a rover sitter because of the price. Now i permanently take care of her dogs off the app when needed. I’ve had senior pets and puppies of my own, also used to be a certified vet med assistant. I am a college student and work at my full/part time job as much as possible but i’m wanting to also incorporate rover!

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.
