About: I have always been around animals. I had my own cat growing up for the past 16 years. My family has always had dogs as well. I grew up with Rottweilers and have had 2 labs since. When I took care of my dogs they always got walks every 3-4 hours at least. I live in an apartment complex and there is a great animal community here. They have a dog park on site. I am willing to travel with the dog to go walking at parks around the neighborhood and town. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! Pets in this house get lots of love and care. I’ve seen separation anxiety and know that dogs just need to know they are safe.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and love all kinds of animals. I am very familiar with pet sitting and will treat your pet like my own! My schedule is very flexible so your pet will get the attention it needs and deserves! I am available on weekends and most holidays with little notice needed. I have an house with plenty of walking trails nearby to keep your pet active. Pets will not be kept alone and I can cater to any special needs from the owner.
About: I am an avid hiker, biker, jogger and dog park enthusiast. I'm always looking for new hikes, trails and dog park adventures for me and my 2 Dogs.

I am looking to help others get their loved pups out and about and have some doggy time. I know the importance of exercise and socialization for our pups and sometimes life gets hectic. A tired doggy is a good doggy. Your pup will get socialization, exercise, training and love. I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to personalize pet/house/property sit with your schedule. My goal is to provide mindful, personalized care that keeps pets happy, active and comfortable so you can enjoy your day/travels with peace of mind. I provide in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ponderay
Michelle is amazing! She was able to help us with a haphazard walking schedule for our almost 1 year old German shepherd on very short notice. We met and I could tell she is a lover of dogs. Rex was clearly well loved and cared for in her time spent with him over about 6 visits or so. I’d definitely reach out to her again with future needs!!

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
