Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover, and have had cats and dogs my whole life. I've been pet-sitting for 6 years, and I have experience with all kinds of breeds, shapes, and sizes. I can provide excellent references, and I have my own transportation as well. Please get in touch if you'd think we'd be a good fit, and we can set up a meet and greet. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Thanks for reading! :)

Michelle was amazing. From the moment we met her, she put our minds at ease. This was our first time booking a cat sitter for our cat Finn through Rover, but will definitely not be our last. Michelle is an excellent communicator and sent us daily pictures and updates. She was so affectionate and loving to our Finny. We came home to a very happy and healthy cat! We are grateful to have met and hired Michelle.

Michelle did an absolute wonderful job taking care of my dog. She was great communicating about his eating, playing, outside time and sweet notes about him. . I loved the numerous pictures she sent every visit which captured his activities. I will hire Michelle again. She is that extension of family you hope for, to take care of your pet!

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.
