Pet care experience

I’m from a dog-loving family myself and have cared for family and friend pets for years, in addition to dog walking and sitting in recent years. I can't take your pet at my own home, but I would be more than happy to stop by your home and care for your pet where they are the most comfortable.

Michelle was kind and friendly with my husky, who needs a good amount of attention. Would recommend her for any big, high-energy dogs!

Michelle is absolutely amazing! I completely trust her with my puppy, and her patience and care are truly unmatched. She has a natural way with dogs and worked so well with mine from the start. I'm so grateful for the love and attention she gives—thank you, Michelle

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.
