Genuine Animal Lover

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!

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.

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.
