Reviews
Michelle is an exceptional pet sitter! She checked in on my cat Neko and always gave me such thoughtful updates about how Neko was doing with eating and her mood. This helped with my anxiety of being away from my cat, which I haven't really done since the pandemic! Michelle also takes the cutest pictures. Neko seemed really happy and content with Michelle's care. Thanks Michelle!
We had never left our cat overnight without someone in the house, so we were nervous first-time Rover users. Michelle was responsive and willing to have a chat with us beforehand so we could get comfortable. Her credentials in cat sitting were immediately apparent. She is responsible, kind, and was great with our Ollie. Michelle was punctual and made sure Ollie got a good visit and some play time. We appreciated her detailed update and kindness towards our precious fur baby. We wouldn’t hesitate to engage Michelle again or to recommend her to our friends. Five stars. Two paws up. ?
When you worry as much as I do about your cat, you need someone like Michelle to put your mind at ease. Having a senior super-scared-of-people , former street-cat, that has a slew of issues (toothless, FIV, arthritis, heart murmur etc) , I was BEYOND stressed and worried about leaving him for 2 weeks while I had to go to visit my elderly mom in the UK. He headnt been left alone in the 18 months I’d had him) But receiving pictures from Michele of Stevie laying on her chest as she herself lay on the floor for him (a habit him and I have developed) made my heart flip and brought tears to my eyes. Seeing him comfy and happy - that’s all I needed Big sigh of relief for me. Reports of his eating well (loves his food so I was worried he’d stop eating while I was gone), his litter box habits, and his love of under-the-chin rubs showed me he was doing absolutely fine. Stop worrying, mom, he’s all good!! Michelle’s been back numerous times to feed him when I can’t get back from work in time, and Michelle’s doing another 2 week stint again very soon (my elderly mother is still going at 94!!) This time I won’t worry about him quite as much😁 Knowing your pet is in the hands of someone that is gentle , reliable, understanding of the crazy little things you do for your kitty and keeps you updated on how things are is the best substitute for you being there yourself. Have Michelle look after your pets. You’ll be glad you did - and so will your fur-baby.
Michelle is a caring and reliable pet sitter. She looked after our dog and cat and attended to their physical and emotional needs. They were very content when we returned. We highly recommend her!

I will follow instructions provided by any pet owner. You can also rest assured that I will always: - be conscientious of the public spaces I walk dogs in (keep dogs away from other dogs, items they might be tempted to eat, or excessive dirt/mud that can be brought back into a home). -respectful of the pet owner's home and privacy when doing home visits.
Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special dietary or medical considerations. If medications need to be taken at a specific time of day or if I need to change the texture of the food etc.
A typical day
As requested :) It all depends on the specific pet. I'm happy to follow instructions left by the pet parents. I try to get cats a bit active (chasing a string or small toy) before feeding them so that they can digest, rest and cuddle comfortably afterwards. For dogs, walks and chasing a ball/toy never fails.
