Information Michelle U. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any of your dog’s need ahead of time. I have experience sitting dogs of all type and personalities and energy level.

Whether your dog likes to play fetch, run around the park, or just a chill casual walk around the block - anything your pet loves I can accommodate! Seaport play area is my usual morning spot for walks.

Pet care experience

Whether you’re looking for doggie play dates, a backyard for your pet to run around in, or just a chill place to hang for your little one, we have it all here! Without being asked, we will bath them when needed, clean their paws after walks, make chicken and rice for them when needed (ha), and give your pet the best vacation ever. I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs and will make sure your pet feels the most safe and at home - photos and videos will always be sent as frequently as you want.

Michelle and her husband were absolute LIFE SAVORS while I was in town for a wedding! The took the best care of Lucy, sent tons of pictures, and I picked up a very happy pup!

Juno had a wonderful time with Michelle and her dog Bagel. It was our first time using a dog sitter and Michelle was great! She answered all my questions, hosted a little meet & greet prior, sent me pictures and kept me posted throughout. She made me feel really comfortable to leave my 7 month pup with her! Thank you!

Michelle (and Ben) did such a great job with Ginger. I was anxious about leaving her in NYC but was so reassured with their care! Looking forward to booking them again!

We absolutely adore having Michelle as a sitter for Fitzy. She and her husband are super responsive, send plenty of updates throughout the day and the stay, and we can tell from the updates how much fun Fitzy has with them. We’ve been repeat customers now for a few years and they’re the sitters I trust most with Fitzy.

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.
