Michele is the absolute best. She is always our first call when we are heading out of town and she takes good care of our kitties. Have no concerns about them getting the right medicated food and lots of love.

Michele did an amazing job doing drop ins on short notice to feed and spend time with my cat. She fed him, filled his auto feeder, played with him using his favorite toys, and even set up his treat puzzle toy one day! Michele made everything super easy and sent videos and pictures everyday so I knew Joey was in such good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!

Michele is truly wonderful. She was beyond gentle and understanding toward my timid kitties - even though they barely came out from under the bed, she still took the time to sit with them, offer treats, etc. I felt so comforted my entire trip knowing they were in such loving hands. Thank you, Michele :)

Michele is amazing in terms of being super reliable and consistent. And of course the best part is that she genuinely cares and loves all kitties 🐈‍⬛

Michele was excellent with my cat, Fred. He stayed at her place while I was away. Michele was caring and super communicative! I could tell that Fred was happy. He was in capable and loving hands and i had peace of mind knowing he was well looked after. I would absolutely book with her again 💕
