Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

While I don't have any breed preferences, I would prefer to know a few likes and dislikes of your dog, some simple commands that you use, their favorite treat, your vet's phone number, and what you want most out of this experience.

A typical day

Walks can be wherever your dog normally prefers, but in the park or around the neighborhood are always a fun option. If your dog is more into adventuring some local trails, I'm down for that too. Fetch and running around are some good classics. I can also work on any training you’ve been trying to incorporate if you show me your preferences first.

Critters + Nature = Bliss

Pet care experience

I've never met a critter I didn't like, and I strive to provide the best care possible to keep everyone happy and healthy (walking, feeding, playing with, bathing, giving meds, brushing, etc). I have lived with at least one dog my whole life along with cats, bunnies, horses, fish, frogs, and most recent, a hedgehog named Quillington. Each one of them has provided me with a knowledge of how to deal with most any situation that might arise. I understand the desire to want the best for your pet and I want to provide that for you. There's nothing worse than worrying about the welfare and contentment of your critter because let's face it, they're family. Hiring me will assure that your beloved will be in the best hands possible... Pictures of them included 😉

Michelle is the best! If you are hesitating to go on a vacation because you don’t know who could take exceptional care of your pet- Michelle is your answer. She pays attention to every detail, sends informative updates of the daily activities with photos and will give your pet lots of snuggles. Our home was spotless too. My only regret was that I only had her booked for a three day trip! I am looking forward to booking her again soon! Thank you Michelle!🤗

Michelle was fantastic! She cared for 3 of our pups and updated us throughout her stay. Each of our dogs has additional care needs and she was very on top of each of their needs. And on top of caring for our pups, she took excellent care of our home! We would love to have her back in the future, thank you!

I would highly recommend Michelle for your dog sitting needs. She was very professional and took excellent care of my dogs while I was on vacation. I felt very at ease while I was away and they were in her care. She took great care of my apartment, sent me tons of pictures and detailed updates daily, and was very easy to work with while planning all logistics. I will definitely book with her again.

I reviewed Michelle on my most recent booking but wanted to add a bit... She really learned how my animals tick and worked with them on some bad habits and enjoyed the good and fun stuff. She had the upmost respect for my home and things. I came home to a clean, orderly house and happy, healthy critters. Eggs collected, poop scooped, litter box cleaned out. Happy to have someone I can trust with my life while I am away.

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.
