Highlights
Pet care experience
Top Quality Pet Care Services!
I’ve been caring for dogs and cats on and off for the past 8 years, and one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that no two pets are alike. Each animal has its own personality, preferences, and needs—and I pride myself on adapting my care to suit each one individually. Whether it’s giving extra affection to a shy pup or patiently building trust with a nervous cat, I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. I always listen closely to pet parents and follow their instructions to the letter, because I know how important consistency and communication are. My goal is not just to meet expectations, but to exceed them—making sure every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for. Confidence, compassion, and flexibility are at the heart of how I work. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to making their time with me as comfortable and joyful as possible
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and medication. I keep the home clean, respect boundaries, and ensure the pet feels safe and comfortable. I provide playtime, affection, and regular updates to the client, always staying alert to any changes in behavior or health.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle joy was a great cat sitter for Matilda! Left good feedback and had no problems communicating with her while I was on vacation.
Michelle is super caring, patient, trustworthy and diligent. Glad to have seen the bond develop between my boys and Michelle.
Friendly and responsive. Would recommend 😊
Michelle is so kind and took our last minute request. She is dependable and so helpful. Thank you Michelle for helping us out on such a tight timeline. We are so appreciative and we know Larry is too!
Very professional , organized , and Zane felt really comfortable on his first walk . We are super impressed
I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and caring cat sitter. Michelle looked after my cat for three weeks while I was away and did an outstanding job. She is very responsive (usually responds within minutes), punctual, as well as personable and a great communicator. She put my mind at ease with daily photos and let me know when I received notices from building management. When a heat wave started in Toronto, she checked in about additional ways to keep the kitty cool. I came home to a happy and relaxed cat!
