Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll care for your pet as my own!
I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life! I grew up in a big animal lover home so in the last I’ve fostered, love volunteering at shelters and pet sitting! I have decades of experience with animals - dogs, cats and reptiles! I’m comfortable with pets with medical needs or providing a separate space for anxious pets! My cat and dog are both good with other dogs and cats so they will love the company but if your pet needs the space, my boys are happy to stay upstairs in the large ensuite! I currently work from home full time so expect lots of cuddles, walks, play time and tons of pictures of your little one!

Ratings and reviews
Michelle was truly a blessing to our family. I’m usually nervous about leaving Simba due to his allergy issues however, Michelle was very reassuring and put my mind at ease. During Simba’s time with Michelle she kept in daily communication and sent me the cutest pictures of Simba which I very much appreciated. I’m so glad our path crossed because Michelle will definitely be our go to sitter for Simba!!
Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!
The absolute best sitter you could find!!! Michelle will always be our go to. She is so thoughtful, kind, and communicative. We love all of the thorough updates and beautiful pictures she sends us. We rest easy when we are out of town knowing she is taking such exceptional care of Oliver!
Michelle was the best sitter ever for our two cats! She watched them for 3 nights, and she sent photos and kept us updated on how they were doing. Our male cat is very scared in new environments, and she did a great job with giving him an area in her home where he at options of places to hide so he felt secure. She had a nanny cam that showed he was coming out in the middle of the night to eat and drink and use the litter box, which was so helpful for our peace of mind. She was accommodating about us changing our pick up time to a little later, and is such a sweet and kind person. We will definitely keep using her in the future!
First time user and have already recommended! We loved Michelle. She was very responsive and made sure to make myself and family comfortable being away from our baby Tiger. She will definitely be Tigers home away from home whenever I’m away.
My doggies had a great time at Michelle's. She sent daily updates with pictures and messages. She followed feeding instructions and took our dogs on many walks (which they love). We felt like our dogs were having a blast and were at ease leaving our dogs with her. I would definitely come back to Michelle for future boarding.

I’m currently working at home full time with a flexible schedule so I’m able to fit in feeding several walks throughout the day, play time and plenty of cuddles!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a shaded fenced yard and an entire home for your furbaby to explore! I have a very friendly dog and cat (both small) that love new friends and will keep your furbaby company with playtime! If your pet likes their space, my pets don’t mind staying upstairs on the 3rd floor ensuite which is the same size as downstairs! We will fit in several walks in a day in my very quiet and green neighborhood!
Pets
A typical day
I like to start my mornings with a good walk to stretch the legs and relieve the pups! After we come in, clean paws and have our breakfast. I like to fit in 3-4 walks a day and there will be plenty of cuddles in between! Once I day I do general command training (with treats) with my dog so I will do it with the group which helps stimulate their minds and reinforce good behavior! And for the kitties, we have plenty of toys for enrichment and several cat trees around the house! After dinner, we go for one more walk or have some playtime before we cuddle in front of the tv till bedtime!
