Your dog will feel welcome!

Pet care experience

We have older kids. Both living outside of the home. Our dog Sparky loves to play with other dogs. He is willing to share his space all over the house. Even our bed! We love pets and treat them as family. At this time most of my work is inside the of the house I like to take Sparky for walks around the neighborhood and could take your dog too. We accept dogs up to 22 lbs. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. Give us a try your dog will like us! About my yard My backyard has a chainlink fence and I am on a 1/2 acre lot. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medication. I currently have work only a couple days outside the house a week for limited hours. Plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! We allow your dog full access to the whole house. This includes furniture if they are allowed. We have a nice sized fenced in back yard and a security gate around the front door for extra protection. We like to walk your pets and play fetch too! We will treat you pup the way we would want someone to care for our Sparky. Like one of the family. :)

We recently had the pleasure of leaving our cherished Pooch in the capable hands of Michelle, a Rover sitter who truly goes above and beyond. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend Michelle for anyone seeking an outstanding caregiver for their furry friends.

Michelle was fantastic looking after my two cairn terrier mixes over a long weekend. I received daily updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend.

I have a sliding patio door in the kitchen on the main floor where I mostly hang out. I let pups out often in case they don't know how to tell me at first. I also set aside time for walks and playtime. I try to keep the same feeding schedule that your pet has at home when possible and that goes for treats as well. I always make sure there is plenty of water and comfortable places for them to lay around and even look out the window for their paw patrol duty. Oh I we all love cat naps!

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences at all. Does your pup get along with other dogs and cats? Is he/she aloud on the furniture? Where does he/she sleep? Has your pup had his/her vaccines? Do they eat human food or just their food? What do they like to do for play?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I would walk him in my neighborhood with sidewalks on every street. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep wherever he/she wants unless you have a preference. Time I'll spend with your dog I am willing to take your pet for 15-30 min walks or play catch or other games.

I am only working outside the house part-time in the afternoon a couple of days a week so I am home alot. I try to walk Sparky everyday weather permitting so I would bring your dog along if desired. I set aside play time and invite them to be in whatever room I am in.
