I am grad students so working in the lab 9-5 with flexibility but I can dedicate time for play time and walks outside of work hours! Cats and dogs both welcome! I love to stay active and be outside so I especially love walking dogs!

Affectionate + caring animal lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats for the past 15 years of my life and love them. Sadly I’ve never owned a dog however have experience with them through dog sitting for friends and neighbors. I love going on walks and a dog is one of the best companions! The safety of your pets will always be my highest priority.

Michelle took amazing care of my cat! She gave her a lot of love and play time, as well as sent me regular updates. I would definitely book her to sit again!

Michelle was amazing to look after my pup Frankie! Contacted her last minute and she was quick to accept the request. Great communicator and would definitely use her again!

Michelle was fantastic, she took great care of Leo and left the apartment in an amazing state. I would recommend her for house sitting or dog sitting

I did not had a ton of communication with Michelle during the time she had my cat but she was very responsive to my messages and honestly the best proof I have of how good care she did to my cat was his behavior. My cat is very anxious and he was so chill when I came back for him! His fur also was so shiny and soft. I could tell she brush him often.
