Pet care experience

Hey there! I am a huge animal lover with a big heart and I am SO ready to love on your pet(s)! I come from a family of Cocker Spaniel lovers and raised my own sweet Golden Retriever (Teddy) since he was a pup ! Recently, Teddy crossed the rainbow bridge at 13 years old 🐶❤️. I am not ready to get another dog quite yet so please allow me to take care of yours! I have experience with dogs at any age from pup to senior. I have tons of cat experience as well- I had 2 cats in college and also helped to take care of my sisters cats whenever she went away. In addition, I have been using the Rover app for a few months now and have taken care of MANY, many cute kitties!! I am super reliable, have the upmost integrity and very communicative. Your convenience and your pets' safety are my main priorities. Your pet is in the absolute best hands when they are with me and I can assure you I WILL love them as if they were my own!! Just an FYI too (if you are concerned) I have been fully vaccinated since April. I am currently taking some time off before starting my next career adventure so I have a pretty open schedule! I am already doing a lot of outdoor exercise so why not take your pet with! Although, I do not have "housesitting" services active on my profile I am open to doing housesitting on a case-by-case basis but only as day care and not overnight. Currently, for overnight services, I am only doing boarding in my apartment. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND ROVER TO A FRIEND, PLEASE HAVE THEM USE PROMO CODE MICHES37516 FOR $20 OFF THEIR FIRST SERVICE!

Dog was relaxed when we got home so I assume he was happy on his walk. Michelle was quick to respond and kept me updated.

We enjoyed meeting Michelle and felt she went out of her way to accommodate us. She was great with Turley and kept us informed during the day.

Michelle was great! Met as we pulled into the parking lot. Handled our blind, senior dog with ease. Kept us posted all day and sent pictures.

My boyfriend and I are living in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment at the Judson Lofts just south of downtown area. The entire complex is fenced in and secure but also has a little dog park that I would be happy to take your dog to run around (if they are ok around other dogs). Occasionally, I will have other walks scheduled while boarding your dog so please let me know if they are ok being left alone for short periods of times. If your dog needs a crate or likes to have their bed and/or toys, please be sure to bring those along to-I want them to feel at home! My boyfriend works from home 50/50 so sometimes even if I have to run out on another dog walk, he would be happy to keep them company!

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs and what type of exercise they are comfortable with based on their energy level. I do have experience with senior dogs so if your pet needs extra attention/meds, I can assist with that. I would also like to know if your pet is friendly with other dogs, especially for boarding services because I am willing to take up to 2 dogs in my apartment and want to make sure your dog is friendly before taking another request. If you have a puppy and are working on any commands that you would like me to continue to practice with them, please let me know! ** please bring a kennel if your pet is not good with being left alone for short periods of time :)

A typical day

I’m really active so I am willing to do whatever matches your dog’s energy level, whether that is a brisk run or a casual walk. I love puppy play time and playing fetch if your dog is ok at dog parks!

Availability

I'm currently doing Rover full-time however I am looking for a remote job where I can still do pet care on the side! With working from home, I will be able to let your pet out at least every two hours (if need be) and they will have someone with them at least 90% of the time depending if I have another dog walk or have to run out for errands.
