I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime.

Pets

We treat your dogs like our own!!

Pet care experience

When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention.

Our dog was very well cared for while we were away. Michelle was very communicative and sent pictures of our dog which we enjoyed a lot! Thank you!

I can't recommend Michelle enough! She took amazing care of my pug while I was away for a few days. She kept me updated regularly and sent lots of adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup absolutely loved her time with Michelle and was clearly happy and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Michelle, for being so wonderful! 😊🐶

Michelle was a great sitter for Milo. She sent pictures daily and communicated how he was doing. Milo got along great with her dog which is always a plus to have a playmate. Highly recommend Michelle for boarding.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my dog Oliver. She sent me pictures and videos regularly. She has a lovely home and family and Oliver was in great hands!

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.
