Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am.

Safety, trust & environment

I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

The more I know, the better I can care for your pets just like you would. Please share their routines, favorite activities, and any quirks that make them unique — I love getting to know their personalities! It’s also helpful to know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, or mobility issues so I can keep them safe and comfortable. Since I have experience as a vet tech, I’m very comfortable giving medication or providing extra care for seniors and pets with special needs. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I want to make sure I give them the best possible care.

A typical day

I love tailoring playtime to each pet’s personality! For dogs, that might mean long walks, fetch in the yard, tug-of-war, or just a good belly rub and cuddle session. For cats, I break out the toys, feather wands, and laser pointers — or simply enjoy a cozy lap sit if that’s more their style. I’m also happy to reinforce any training you’re working on, so the fun can also be productive. No matter the activity, my goal is to make sure your pets are happy, engaged, and feeling loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel plans last minute and weren’t able to have Michelle stay. However, she’s very communicative and accommodating so we will definitely keep her in mind for any future sits.

Michelle was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She let us know when she arrived and gave them lots of love. She sent us pictures and updates of our guys. She was great and we plan on using her again.
