Pet care experience

Dog+Cat Mom here. Let’s Connect!

I’ve had a dog in my life for the past 29 years- since I was 20 (don’t do the math too carefully!) They’ve been with me through so much “life” and truly are a member of the family. I treat them as such. I have experience with all ages - puppy through senior. I understand that each animal has their own personality, likes/dislikes, and routines, and treat them accordingly. Animals help fill our souls - with smiles, laughs, and even tears. 💙

Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of your pet according to the instructions you give me. I know that routine is important for animals and new people can sometimes be stressful. My goal is to bring as little stress as possible by keeping their routine and schedule the same as they’re used to.

We were in a pinch and needed pet care quickly, and Michelle went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for. She is compassionate and attentive to our dogs’ and cats’ needs.

During this visit, my cat needed to take an antibiotic twice daily. Michelle used various methods to hide the medication in food and pill pockets to ensure that she got all of her doses. She willingly gave up part of her Friday and Saturday evenings to take care of my two cats. Both of my cats have bonded with her in their own way. She is a gem.

I appreciate Michelle’s good judgment. She notices when my cats deviate from their usual behavior, and Michelle will make adjustments accordingly. Each day, she writes me a full paragraph of their activities together. And she takes fabulous photos of my cats, many of which I download.

Michelle is such a great person to have come check in on our kitties. I love all of the rover reports and pictures. She does an amazing job making sure my cats are well cared for when I’m away.
