Pet care experience

I’ve been providing pet care services through Rover since August 2024, a decision inspired by the loss of my senior dog Bernie a few months earlier. Helping others by providing high quality & compassionate pet care has been a very fulfilling experience for me, and my senior pup Reggie has made lots of new friends along the way! Recently, Reggie and I welcomed a new family member — sweet “little sis” dachshund mix, Pippa! 🐶 She’s good natured, loves to play, and can’t wait to meet you & your pup(s). Feel free to reach out to me with questions or to schedule a meet & greet with us! I carry private pet sitter insurance through Pet Care Insurance, in addition to the Rover Guarantee. While I take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety, I understand that accidents or emergencies may happen. The safety and well-being of your pet is always my top priority ❤️ My daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. For any additional hours beyond that, the following rates apply: ➕ $3 per hour for the first dog ➕ $2 per hour for each additional dog Alternatively you can opt for my boarding rate, which covers up to 24 hours of care. To ensure smooth operations and the best care for your pet, I kindly ask that all daycare and boarding clients select a one-hour window for both drop-off and pick-up times when making a reservation. This helps with accurate pricing and allows me to plan my day effectively. I understand that travel plans can change unexpectedly, so if you need to adjust your schedule, please notify me as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Cannot recommend Michelle enough. I moved to the area for temp work and was lucky to have found her. She was incredible with my boy and he always enjoyed his visits with her. She has wonderful updates and communicates so well. Michelle is an angel and we were blessed to have had her for the short time I was in the area. We will definitely miss her.

My dogs have always been, and will always be, important members of my family, and I will care for your pet as if they are my own. My home is pet-friendly from top to bottom, and I understand that accidents can happen—having had two aging dogs for quite some time now. Reggie, Pippa, and I go on walks in our neighborhood at least twice a day, along with several trips to our backyard to play.

Information Michelle Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any quirks or special needs that I should be aware of. While I have extra supplies on hand, feel free to bring anything & everything that will help your dog feel most comfortable during their stay! Emergency contact & vet information is also helpful for me to have on hand.

A typical day

I have a fully fenced, spacious backyard for your dog to run and play off-leash! There are also plenty of toys and treats to keep your pup happy and entertained. We can go on walks around the neighborhood, or if your dog prefers, we can just stay in the backyard—whatever works best for them and you. I’ll also provide a daily summary with pictures so you can stay connected!

Availability

I work full-time in a hybrid role, spending three days at an office in downtown Milwaukee and two days working from home, with weekends and holidays off. While I typically work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, I can rearrange my schedule with advance notice. On my in-office days, I’m often able to head home early and finish my workday remotely, offering plenty of flexibility. I'm happy to work with you to meet your needs!
