Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of experience as both a teacher and lifelong pet owner, I understand how important routines, consistency, and responsibility are. I’m reliable, background checked, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I’ll also respect your home—following your instructions carefully and keeping everything secure—so you can have total peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Michele T. would like to know about your pet

Any info about their likes and dislikes helps us both to have a good time together! If they have meds or certainly routines to follow each day. Allergies or fears are important to know as well!

A typical day

For both dogs and cats, activities that can also stimulate their brain, not just body. I have some great pet games to bring along (if that's ok by you). Definitely lots of cuddles, conversation, movement, and playing!

Love & care, paw-sibly the best

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and even a bunny—so loving animals has always been second nature. I once dreamed of becoming a vet, but chose teaching, where I always kept a pet in my classroom to share that joy with kids. Today, I’m a proud rescue dog mom and ragdoll cat owner who knows how to balance fun, love, and responsibility. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddles, or just keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my babies! **I am unable to watch pets in my own home due to my pets and family** My services will not include sleeping over yet can spend extended time in home.

If you are looking for a trustworthy and kind cat sitter, look no further than Michele. She recently watched my cat Hunter and did a phenomenal job. She sent regular updates, kept the feeding area spotless, and spent quality time playing with him.It’s such a relief knowing my home and my pet are in such capable hands.

I've known Michele for over 20 years and ever since I've known her she's been a fur-mama. I was privileged enough to live w/her and her cat when I first moved into town and saw how much she loved and took care her. These days she has a dog and a cat and she loves them just as much as her own child and they are all spoiled for all the love and attention she gives them! There is no doubt in my mind that she will spoil all your pets too!

I’ve known Michele for over 30 years and if there’s one constant in her life, it’s her love and care for animals. She has always had pets of her own, currently a dog and a cat and treats them like true family members. Michele is patient, dependable and attentive, making sure every animal in her care feels safe, comfortable and loved. I can say in complete confidence that she will care for your pets as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and experienced to look after your furry family, Michele is an excellent choice.
