Pet care experience
Hi! I moved to New Rochelle, NY, four years ago all the way from Japan with my two beloved rescue cats. Previously, I honed my skills as both a Kindergarten teacher and a dedicated pet sitter in Tokyo, where I was fortunate to build a loyal clientele and gained invaluable experience. In El Salvador, I had the honor of assisting at various animal shelters. My tasks ranged from bathing dogs to providing temporary housing for all kinds of animals in need. My passion for animals extends beyond just cats and dogs – I love all creatures, from birds to lizards, and am fascinated by the unique and complex personalities each one bring. If you’re seeking someone who will care for an appreciate your pet as the unique individual they are, I’m your human! I enjoy being physically active, which is ideal for high-energy dogs needing to burn off some of that extra zest, but I won’t complain if all they want to do is cuddling on the couch all day At the moment, my schedule is quite flexible and I’m available on most days. I would kindly ask that bookings be made at least one week in advance to allow for a proper meet and greet. Thank your considering me as your trusted pet sitter. I look forwards to meeting you and your beloved companions soon!
Reviews
First time using Michelle to take care of my 14yo female calico kitty, who has a hypothyroid condition and needs daily medication… Michelle was neat, sweet, and extremely in tune with my cat’s needs and moods… Her daily updates were very informative and entertaining, and they allowed me to relax and enjoy the few days that I was away…
Amazingly good and natural with my super shy kitties, who usually run and hide from new people. They both approached Michelle and one of them even fell in love with her, letting Michelle pet her and play games with her. Outstanding.
Thanks for another impeccable drop-in Michelle! Kitties loved the company; your commitment is very appreciated! Thanks.
Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Kind, responsive, and so caring!! We returned home to a happy healthy girl who was well taken care of!

Safety, trust & environment
House-sitting: I stay at the pet's house all day. I would only go out for grocery shopping or exercise. However, specific details would have to be discussed in person before booking.
Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet
Some information I will request before meeting is: - Are they up to date with their vaccines? - Is he or she leash trained (for dogs) - Do they have any health-related issues, or are they currently taking any medication?
A typical day
My apartment building has a designated dog park outside, where is safe and can meet other dog friends. But we can also walk outside and around the city if needed for a longer walk. Lots of pets and scratches guaranteed.

I'm 100% devoted to taking care of animals all day. I'm currently working on getting a few online certifications but it's something I can easily do anywhere as long as I have internet access.
