Pet care experience
Hi there, my name is Michelle & it’s nice to meet you! I’ve grown up with and raised dogs since the 3rd grade (yay for 20+ years of pet owner experience! 🤗). I’m a huge advocate for proper animal care and have done everything from walked, bathed, & groomed dogs since a young age so I know the responsibilities that come with having a dog. I currently own three cats (that I rescued), but I absolutely LOVE dogs and would love to help walk your dogs if you’re ever too busy from work, out of town, or just need a break from dog-owner chores! I’m also happy to check-in on your dog(s) and/or cat(s) at your home, play with them, and make sure they have their daily essentials (food + water) taken care of. Since I am a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule to help walk your dog at any time! The exercise will be good for both me and your dog all the while helping you save time and energy! 🙂 As somebody who prioritizes mental health, I will also take the time to get to know your pet at his or her comfort level and will do anything to minimize any anxiety or stress that your pet may feel. As a cat mom of three, I always make sure to give my pets’ plenty of attention every single day - this includes feeding, grooming, and playing with them so they feel happy and loved throughout their entire lifetime. Growing up, I’ve seen pets who were abandoned or neglected and I aimed to never be that kind of owner/petsitter, as I believe all pets deserve love, time, care, and happiness too.
Reviews
Michelle is a great person who loves and cares for animals. She has 3 cats that she truly cares about and is attentive to all of their needs. I've walked with Michelle during her client dog walks and she pays close attention to the dog's surroundings to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable at all times. She also makes sure to specifically log all details on the Rover app when they happen (ex: potty time, feeding time, water time). You'll be in good hands if Michelle is taking care of your pet!
Michelle is amazing with my pup Amelia! She is great with keeping me updated and love the photos she shares with me. :) I also appreciate how flexible she is with scheduling and great at communicating. This is my first time using Rover and could not have asked for a better person to start and continue with! Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Michelle! She is clearly a caring animal lover and is extremely capable. She’s responsive, responsible, and is great with both cats and dogs!
Michelle is a fantastic cat owner! It's obvious how much she loves animals. She is gentle and respectful toward her cats and sensitive to their needs. They trust Michelle and feel comfortable around her, even though they can be very shy around strangers. You can trust her to care for your pets: they'll be in good hands!

I care for my pets in my own home by making sure they have enough food, water, and play time in their day! Additionally, I make sure that they are well groomed and happy 😊
Home
Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know how social/friendly the dog is so I can be as welcoming and supportive if possible. Is your dog social, high-energy, anxious, or skittish? I’m here to help in any way possible! :) P.S. You can scroll through my profile photos if you want to see all of the dogs I’ve cared for on Rover so far!
A typical day
I love walking dogs around the neighborhood & taking them to the dog park (if you are comfortable with this). Additionally, I love it when dogs sniff during their walks and try my best to take them on different “walking routes” so they never get bored! I also love playing fetch with dogs :)

Availability
As a freelancer, I have a very flexible schedule, but I’m definitely up in the early mornings. I’m usually at home working, but if I am ever out of town or traveling, I’ll be sure to let you know far in advance - I truly value clear communication and will be able to reply your texts/calls within a timely manner! 🙂 Something that I naturally LOVE to do is provide updates so I’m more than happy to send pictures of your pet being well taken care of, whether we are on a neighborhood walk together or playing together in your home! 🙂
