Safety, trust & environment

I can provide any care needed in the client's home. On a case by case basis I can do some boarding. I have two of my own dogs and would first need to be comfortable that everyone gets along. My available hours and days are extremely flexible.

Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know of any special needs your pet has and unusual quirks which require additional care including both physical and emotional issues. I will be getting first aid and CPR certified shortly.

A typical day

I love to play and exercise with both dogs and cats. A typical day would include walks and also quiet time for snuggles and pets.

I have spent upwards of 20 years working with different animal rescues doing fostering and transports. Over the years I've cared for hundreds and cats and dozens of dogs. I am now retired from the State of Michigan and can dedicate more of my time to pet care.

Michelle was reliable and had timely communication! She was able to help with short notice as well. We will definitely use her again.

Michelle was a wonderful cat sitter, and gave us peace of mind while we were away from home. She communicated well, and was reliable. She provided lots of pix so we could see how our little crew was doing. She even brought in our mail. Would definitely have her for drop in care of our kitties again.

Michelle was amazing with our two cats, both of whom needed extra medical attention and are pretty skittish with new people. They warmed up to Michelle in no time, and we felt such relief, knowing they were being so well taken care of at home. We would absolutely book with Michelle again in the future.

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.
