I am a self-employed photographer and a lot of my work is remote, so my schedule is flexible and ideal for overnight sitting! Your pets will be kept company most of the day at your home while I work (in reality they’ll be keeping *me* company 😉), and we will follow their usual routine as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and happiness 💜

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Michelle, and my happy place is anywhere animals are! I’m a seasoned sitter with over a decade of experience caring for pets - and often their second favorite human (after you, of course 😉) What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work remotely as a photographer, which allows me to offer 16+ hours of in-home care and companionship. This means that your pet gets plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day, and you might get the occasional artsy photo 🥳📸 I can also provide constant care services for pets requiring extra support. This premium offering ensures near round-the-clock companionship. (For more information on my house-sitting offerings, please view the second photo in my album.) I believe in-home care is the best way to keep your pets happy while you’re away, allowing them to remain in a familiar space and maintain their normal routine. When I’m with your pets, we follow their usual schedule as closely as possible. I also tune into their needs throughout the day - whether that’s extra playtime, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing together - so they feel secure, loved, and fully cared for. My goal is to provide your pets complete comfort and give you peace of mind 😌 I’m also a *huge* cat nerd - I have two of my own! I understand the difference in both care and personality between cats and dogs, and I always take the time to build trust and connection at whatever pace they need 🐾 If you’re looking for a sitter who’s reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pets, I’d be honored to care for them. I take this work seriously - and I feel lucky to do it 🤎

Michelle was fantastic with our 3 pups. She was a great communicator and kept us updated throughout her entire stay with them. She also left the house spotless when we returned home. We will definitely be using her again!

Highly recommend Michelle! This was our second stay with Michelle. She took excellent care of our lab and home. Wally got lots of play time and snuggles. He absolutely loves Michelle! We had some travel issues and couldn’t make it home on time. Michelle so accommodating and was able to extend her stay. We were so relieved to know Wally was taken care of and happy while we were away!

Michelle took great care of Wally and our home! She was attentive to Wally and checked in with us to let us know how things were going. Michelle noticed Wally was missing us and gave him extra playtime and attention. Came home to a clean house and happy pup!
