We have a family of three boys, the two older ones are in love with being able to have new dogs to pet! I am currently working full time, and my husband is home with our baby. My middle son has reached that age of being a ‘big helper’ with the pets we have been sitting. He loves helping me feed them and walk them. But especially, he loves to pet them!

Trustworthy, Loving Pet Care!

Pet care experience

With 25 years of experience in pet care, I bring a deep understanding of animals’ needs and an unwavering love for their well-being. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with three amazing cats, each of whom taught me the profound bond we can share with our pets. While their short lifespans have led me to focus more on pet-sitting now, my commitment to providing a safe, loving environment for all pets remains strong. I understand how much these companions mean to you, and I treat each one with the same care and affection I would my own.

Michelle’s place is perfect for cats - lots of sunlight, windows, etc. Her sons were also very gentle with my cat.

Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.
