Long walks/hikes & TONS of cuddles!

Pet care experience

I'm a mid-30s dog lover who was born and raised in the Bay Area! I've always had a family dog (and cats and birds), and while I'd love to own right now, it’s not in the cards currently. So, instead, I'd love to shower YOUR pup or kitty with plenty of love :) I've cared for 60+ dogs (both big and small, puppies and older) and many cats via Rover (and for family/friends). I’m known to send PLENTY of photos and always try my best to have your dog feel like he/she is also on vacation while you’re away. I do work from home but don’t always have the most consistent schedule with meetings and travel. Booking further in advance or last minute usually works best, but please feel free to reach out! I’ve been on Rover for years and have been dogsitting in DC, Berkeley, SF, and Marin. As you can see from some of my stay photos, I love to stay active, and love taking your pup along with me if that's something you'd like! If you'd prefer, I'm also equally happy just laying low, and of course provide plenty of snuggles. I absolutely love having dogs around, and spend almost all my dogsitting time with your pup by my side! My experience administering medication Have done so for our pets (2 dogs and a cat) growing up, so feel comfortable administering medication once given the proper instructions.

Michelle was great with my anxious pup! Pearl really liked her and it was clear she felt comfortable. Great communication and updates. Will definitely trust Michelle to watch Pearl again.

Michelle has been amazing with Benji! She has been taking care of him during his first few months as a puppy. She has been very reliable and a big part of his development. Thanks Michelle!

Michelle was awesome!! Above and beyond....She stayed at our house and was very attentive and sweet to our mini Aussie Tucker. We got lots of photos and updates daily, she was so kind and loving. Tucker got tons of attention and affection, lots of long walks and even a 15 miler one day! He was in heaven and happy as could be when we returned. Michelle is a jewel and we were so fortunate to have found her!

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

Is your pet allowed on the furniture? Otherwise - what is your pup's favorite thing to do, or favorite walk/toy/game, etc? I'd love to make this as special of a time for your pet as I can while you're away!

A typical day

I love going on walks, runs, and hikes, so I'm happy to take your dog along, or just lay low for the time I'm with him/her. Extra house-sitting services? Of course! Just let me know and I'd likely be more than happy to do anything additional (water plants, bring in mail, etc).
