Pet care experience

"Paw-sitively purr-fect pet sitting with Shellie.

First and foremost - I love animals - they make me so happy! I'm am an agency teacher, so I currently offer weekend sits (Fri eve until Sun eve) . I can also do evening sits - if you have a special event to go to, "date night", etc. I enjoy spending time looking after other people's precious pets in their own homes, which when possible, I believe is the best option for your pets. I am very privileged that many owners trust me with their precious pets in their lovely homes! I bring a good understanding of pet behaviour and needs, allowing me to respond quickly to anything out of the ordinary, ensuring your pet's health and happiness. My background includes experience in caring for senior cats and dogs. I prioritise their comfort, monitor their health closely, and provide gentle, compassionate attention. Additionally, for younger pets like puppies or kittens, I focus on structured play and creating positive, fun experiences that help them feel secure and happy. I prioritise open communication with pet owners, giving regular updates so you feel connected even when you’re away. I am committed to building trust and providing exceptional care. I genuinely LOVE time spent with animals and this truly sets me apart as a dependable, caring, and skilled pet sitter. I can also use basic Welsh conversation with your pets if you are a Welsh speaking family.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure that I provide ample one-on-one attention, lots of love and plenty of interactive play and cuddle time, especially if they’re social pets. I maintain a clean and comfortable environment in your home. I pay close attention to any individual needs, and do my best to make your precious pets feel loved and reassured whilst you are away. I will ensure you get lots of photos of your pets when you are away. I approach each pet with compassion, patience, and a true dedication to providing high-quality care.

Michelle was amazing. So friendly and happy. Riley and figs loved michelles company, storm was to shy. This was the first time we had gone away from our pets but we felt very comfortable and at ease knowing michelle was there. Would definitely recommend and book michelle again. Thanks Gareth & Emma

Ralph has a new best friend in Michelle. During a 6 day home stay we had daily updates and videos of Ralph who clearly wasn’t missing us!! Good communication and would definitely book her again 😁

We couldn't have asked for better dog sitter than Michelle! From the first time we met Michelle, it was obvious her love and respect for animals. Michelle looked after our two dogs for 7 nights in our home, and we were so impressed with the level of care and attention she gave them - not just to our dogs, but to our house as well. On our return, our dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. She sent many and regular updates on a daily basis, which we loved, and we felt totally at ease the entire time we were away. Truly above and beyond. We wouldn't hesitate to have her back or recommend her to anyone looking for kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitters. Thank you so much!

Michelle is extremely personable, professional and responsible. She came on a pre-visit that she organised herself - all three dogs loved her immediately! We had a lovely, carefree evening, she is just somebody you meet and feel has been a lifelong friend! We would not hesitate to re-book; we highly recommend Michelle.

Michelle was wonderful in looking after our pets - we couldn't ask for a better person to do so. Will be using Michelle again and recommend her to anyone.

Before you book me, we will need to meet to get to know each other, to see if we are a good fit. It is very important that you and your fur baby feel comfortable and confident about me. When booked, I will ask you to fill in a questionnaire, so that I can ensure I have as much information about your pets as possible in order to ensure that I provide you and your pets with the best care and experience.
These prices are for 1 dog.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
