Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each pet and household. I prioritize maintaining familiar routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest, while closely monitoring behavior, appetite, and comfort. I keep environments clean and safe, provide enrichment and affection at the pet’s pace, and communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

Information Michelle V. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know each pet’s routines, likes and dislikes, energy level, health needs, and any behavioral quirks ahead of time. Information about feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, triggers, and comfort zones helps me provide consistent, safe, and stress-free care. The more I know about their personality and needs, the better I can tailor activities, enrichment, and attention so each pet feels happy and secure while in my care.

A typical day

A typical day is built around the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I look to give each pet physical, mental, and social/emotional fulfillment. My goal is always to balance fun, structure, and attentive care so pets feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

Hello! My name is Michelle. I am an animal lover with over 4 years of professional veterinary experience and 4 years of personal experience. I have experience with bathing, grooming, and administration of subcutaneous medications. I am willing to work with behaviorally challenged pets. I love animals of all kind! Rats, snakes, birds, you name it. I have two little kitten of my own and grew up with standard poodles. I would love to be able to give you peace of mind and take care of your family.

Michelle was fantastic! She kept me posted with pictures at the visit times. She also talked me through what to expect while using Rover since it was my first time using the service. Thank you so much Michelle!

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.
