Pet care experience

My two passions - teaching and animals! When I’m not teaching, I’m usually spending time with my 3 dogs and cat. I’ve owned and taken care of pets for 20+ years. I’ve invested a lot of time working with a local pet organization as both a volunteer and taking classes from obedience training to therapy dog training. Now that my human kids are grown, my pet kids get to be spoiled!

Michelle took great care of my 2 cats! Everyday, sending a few pictures and writing what they were up to. Was so nice to know that my cats were well taken care of! Definitely will use your pet care again! Thank you! Koa and Thor thank you for visiting as well!

Cooper was very happy with Michelle. He was still waiting for her to come in the door even after we were home. We will definitely re-book.

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.
