Information Michelle joy D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special routines they’re used to with you, or if there are any specific needs I should be aware of while caring for them.".

A typical day

I start by feeding them and making sure they have fresh water. Then it’s playtime—tossing toys, running around, or just enjoying cuddles. We go outside for a walk to get fresh air and exercise. Later, I give them dinner, some quiet time, and make sure they’re comfy and relaxed before bed. Every moment is filled with care, fun, and tail wags! 🐾💕

Pet care experience

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

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!

Where do I start!? Michelle is as honest one can be. Her companions are these little puppies I believe 7 of them, and they're all nurished to peak health. Hard working and smart at it too, Michelle doesn't cut corners and makes the best of a tough decision. Actions speak for itself and that's what you will witness from Michelle. She has plenty of experience with animals, 8 years in fact with both feline and canine. I know this because she brags about it.
