Pet care experience

Your pet’s new WFH bestie!

I took a little break from Rover and now I’m back! Animals have always been close to my heart, and I’ve been lucky to spend a lifetime caring for them. Most notably, I spent 16 loving years with my own dog, mastering the nuances of senior dog care and medication administration along the way. I am also very experienced in puppy care and anxious pets as well.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my pup Bruno! As he’s gotten older staying at boarding facilities became anxiety inducing and he had a tendency to become behavioral. After six whole days with Michelle I came back to my happy and relaxed boy who clearly got lots of love and attention. Michelle provided updates and care for not only my pup but my home and a huge peace of mind for my time away. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, I’m beyond grateful and will be booking with her again in the future! Thank you so much Michelle!!

Michelle is really the best! I have an elderly pup and Michelle was so kind and supportive of her needs. I was anxious booking with someone I didn’t know but I could tell at the first meeting that she’d be great. She asked all the right questions which speaks to her experience. And I could tell she bonded quickly with my pup and cared about her as well! She also took great care of my space while I was away. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend.

We hit the jackpot with Michelle. Not only is she on time, communicative and conscientious, she went above and beyond to make sure our highly anxious dog, Finn, was calm while we were gone. She sent pics and notes to assure us. We will definitely use her services again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As a work-from-home professional, my schedule is well-suited for providing your pet with all the love and attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily accommodate frequent walks, playtime, and cuddles. My at-home status also allows me to monitor meal times, administer medication as needed, and respond promptly to any urgent pet needs.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my utmost priority. When your pet stays with me in my pet-friendly apartment, they will always be on a leash when outside of my unit to ensure their safety and the safety of others. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow all guidelines and instructions you provide to maintain a secure environment. In both settings, I prioritize cleanliness, secure all exits, and remove any potential hazards, creating a safe and comfortable space for your pet.

A typical day

I love being outside when ever I get the chance. If your dog is active, I’d love to take them to the park, the beach or on a little hike. Also happy to keep it to a simple walk if that’s what you or they would prefer. Please note no dogs with fleas, or any contagious sickness will be accepted.

Please let me know if your pup is not spayed or neutered. Make sure your rover profile is up to date. Are there any allergies or sensitivities? How is your dogs temperament? Can your dog be home alone for 1-2 hours? How often does your dog go outside? What is your pet’s typical routine?
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.
