Safety, trust & environment

I love cuddlers, but I also understand boundaries. Some animals prefer to have their own space, and that is fine too! I want your baby/babies to feel safe and loved even when you’re away. Scratches, play time, and belly rubs/ear rubs are some of my favorite ways to show them affection. Treats, too, unless they’re diet restricting.

Information Michelle V. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any food allergies or specific restrictions each animal has. I do love giving treats and avoid feeding table food, and I would like to avoid any accidents with reactions. I also prefer to know their schedule, if they have one.

A typical day

I typically will make sure we go for a nice walk and/or playtime to ensure a good nap after for them. Some dogs really love the attention and being outside, while others are happy to just be next to someone. We can venture to a coffee shop or park if it's not too far for them, and weather permits.

Playtime expert, ❤️ giving treats

Pet care experience

I’ve had numerous animals (dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc.) throughout my life and have loved them all unconditionally to their last day! Each animal is unique and has their own personalities, so it is important to pay attention to their needs and mannerisms. I promise to make sure your family member is cared for just like you would ☺️ open to all animals, domestic and exotic, as well as all ages!

Michelle was amazing as always. Our dog absolutely loves when she stays with him and gets so excited to see her. Michelle left our house tidy and was excellent with communication. We never stress when we leave Magni with her because we know he is in the best hands! Cannot recommend her enough.

Michelle is incredible. I was so nervous about leaving my anxious dog with someone new but Michelle has a gift. She got him to settle even when the building smoke detector started beeping. She is patient and kind and so trustworthy! It's rare to find someone that I feel certain (beyond a shadow of a doubt) provides exactly the level of care any devoted pet parent does. A+ 10/10 Will book again.

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.
