Pet care experience
Cat Sitter & Rescue Volunteer
Hi there! I’m Michelle. Cat lover, foster mom, and your go-to sitter for happy, healthy felines. I’ve spent years caring for cats in all stages of life, from tiny kittens to wise seniors, through volunteering with AVA Cat Rescue, fostering, and spoiling my own two cats, Gravy and Cheese. My rescue work taught me that every cat, no matter how shy or stubborn, thrives with patience and love. I’ve administered meds, soothed nervous kitties, and even nursed a 20-year-old abandoned senior back to health with the right diet and TLC. At home, Gravy and Cheese keep me on my toes (and occasionally share a Churu treat--they went viral in Toronto’s first Cat Tour in 2024!). I’ll treat your cat like family, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and updates so you can relax while you’re away. Let’s chat. I’d love to meet your feline friend!

Safety, trust & environment
Your cat’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines to the letter when it comes to feeding, playtime, and litter care, while keeping everything secure and stress-free. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see your kitty thriving.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle is very reliable and follows instructions perfectly! She is very thoughtful and detail-oriented in her approach to pet care and gives great updates!
Michelle was very friendly, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. She helped us out with a last minute booking, which we appreciated. Would recommend!
Wow ! Michelle is just amazing, couldn’t possibly recommend her enough. Communication was so good, from minute one, to the extra days we needed to add on (no problem!), our little guy had the best care we could have hoped for 🙏👌
We had a wonderful experience with Michelle as our cat sitter. She stayed at our home for five days and took exceptional care of both of our cats while we were away. One of our cats required daily medication, and Michelle administered it on time every day with great care and attention. She kept us updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. When we returned home, the house was spotless and exactly as we had left it. It was clear that she treated both our home and our pets with genuine care and respect. Michelle is reliable, communicative, kind, and clearly has a real love for animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such capable hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Michelle, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
We left our cat Cecil in Michelle’s care for a week and couldn’t be happier. She was attentive, sent regular updates and photos, and Cecil (who can be a bit particular to say the least) took to her straight away. We came home to a happy, healthy cat and a tidy home. Would book again without hesitation!
Michelle is a fantastic pet caregiver who is highly professional and trustworthy. She follows instruction lists carefully to make sure pet routines are maintained, and I can tell she really cares about animals because she goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and healthy. She has taken care of senior cats with special needs and medications before, has volunteered with cat rescues in the past, and also has experience with lizards and rabbits in addition to cats and dogs. I've trusted Michelle with my Mochi and Cocoa and would do so again. I can't recommend her enough!

Hi there! I’m Michelle, new to Rover but long-time cat lover, foster mom, and a go-to sitter for happy, healthy felines. I’ve spent years caring for cats in all stages of life, from tiny kittens to wise seniors, through volunteering with AVA Cat Rescue, fostering, and spoiling my own two, Gravy and Cheese. My rescue work taught me that every cat, no matter how shy or stubborn, thrives with patience and love. I’ve administered meds, soothed nervous kitties, and even nursed a 20-year-old abandoned senior back to health with the right diet and TLC. At home, Gravy and Cheese keep me on my toes (and occasionally share a single Churu treat—they went viral in Toronto’s first Cat Tour!). I’ll treat your cat like family, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and updates so you can relax while you’re away. Let’s chat, I’d love to meet your feline friend!
- CatsMichelle can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- To give your cat the best care, feel free to let me know: • Medications & Health: Any meds, supplements, or special care routines? Allergies or vet instructions I should know? • Personality & Comfort: Are they a social butterfly, a shy observer, or somewhere in between? How do they usually react to new people? • Favourite Things: What toys, treats, or games make their tail twitch with joy? Any old favourites they adore? • Routine & Quirks: Feeding schedule, litter preferences, or little habits (like a pre-nap zoomie ritual or a “no-touch” zone). • Treats vs. Pets: Do they live for chin scratches, demand treats, or prefer to supervise from a distance? • Emergency Info: Vet contacts, microchip details, or anything else to keep them safe and sound. The more I know, the happier and more at ease your cat will be and the more fun we’ll have :)
