Pet care experience

Safety & love are number one!

I grew up with animals in my life and love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes: From German Shepherds to golden doodles to 10 week old rescue kittens. I have a flexible schedule and I am ready to meet your pet’s needs with love and attention. I have been pet sitting for 6 years and on Rover for 1.5 years. This is my primary job, I have a few mid-week regulars, but if I pet sit in your home, I will be available as much as possible. I keep them on their regular schedule and work to create a safe and fun experience. I take lots of pictures and provide daily updates for both my regulars and house sitting clients.

Michelle was amazing with our sweet Dixie (4 month old golden retriever puppy)! After our first phone call with her, we knew Dixie would be in excellent hands. Michelle was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. We will absolutely be booking her again the next time we are in town; we couldn’t have dreamed of a better pet sitter.

Michelle went above and beyond during her drop-in visits for Cinnamon! Not only did she follow all the instructions and provided detailed updates, she also took our trash bins in, washed and folded our kitchen towels, and even stayed a bit longer for Cinnamon 🥰 I am so grateful, will definitely book with her again :)

House Sitting • May 06, 2026

I can’t wait enough kind words about Michelle’s. Our boy Rocco is already missing her and it’s only been one day. Her daily check-ins and photos were always wonderful and helped alleviate any stresses while we were away. I highly recommend her for anyone who is on the fence about finding someone who will treat their dog like their road and their house. Thank you, Michelle. Rocco can’t wait to see you again.

Michelle is INCREDIBLE. From the moment I met her during the meet and greet I knew my babies were in great hands. She took stellar care of them and sent me helpful updates for every drop in visit. Will definitely be booking her again and I highly recommend her!

Schedule

I am the parent of adult children who loves the beach and getting outdoors. My schedule is fluid and I am adaptable to clients who need morning, daytime, and evening care. This is my full time job. I currently have a few weekly clients that I see middays.

Safety, trust & environment

safety and love are my number one priority when caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard in back with a park near by for lots of outdoor play in the appropriate climate. I double check doors, fences and locks to prevent furbaby Houdini’s from escaping and live to snuggle animals that give me permission to do so. I do not currently have other animals in the household.

A typical day

A typical day house sitting for you will include greeting your pet in the morning with cuddles and love followed by meal time, meds if necessary, bathroom break, play time with toys, and a walk. After naps, we would add in some enrichment.

I love detailed instructions and try and follow your animals normal daily routine as much as possible. I love to know as much as possible about your fur baby’s needs and schedule, and routine before our interactions so that I can provide the best care possible
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.
