I was very worried about what to do with my dog when traveling. My dog is not great around strangers and gets scared easily. However, I am so glad I decided to go with Michelle as my dog sitter this past weekend. She provided multiple updates with pictures every day which was very comforting. I could tell she has a lot of experience caring for animals, as she was very adept in making my dog feel comfortable and knew what to do in various situations. I will definitely be booking with Michelle in the future, and I am confident she will care for my dog. If anyone has concerns about her abilities, please rest assured as she is very reliable!

It was my first time using Rover, and also my rescue dog’s first time being cared for by someone else. Thanks to Michelle, our family was able to go on vacation with complete peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond—taking him on plenty of walks (his favorite!) and giving him lots of attention and love. She also provided multiple daily updates with photos and was always very responsive, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with Michelle again in the future. Jindoo will be so happy to stay with her again!

Michelle took such good care of my dog. She took her on multiple outings/adventures , which Maple loves! She was also super helpful for getting Maple to eat as she can be picky and skip meals.

Once again, Michelle took extra great care of my pup! She was understanding and accommodated to last minute changes, which I appreciated so much! I always feel at ease when my pup is with her :)

Schedule

I’m currently home a lot and work a few nights a week at a comedy club so I have plenty of time to play and spend quality time with your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a huge back yard so there’s plenty of space for them to run around on a leash! I also love going on walks so they’ll get plenty of exercise.

A typical day

I’ll start the day off with a walk around a trail or park. Then give them lots of snuggles and treats after the walk! I have a big backyard so I can play fetch with them.

Let me know if your dog has special needs. I‘m not exactly trained in that area but I have had to give my old dog medicine everyday.
