Cat Whisperer in Cat Haven!

Hi there! My name is Michelle and I am fortunate enough to be a dedicated petsitter. I have been providing petsitting/dogwalking services for 16 years now. Prior to that I was a volunteer cat socializer for 7 years. I love to take dogs for plenty of walks and care for them. My own dog was a half-Lab, half-Mastiff mix, 120 lbs. of love and joy! I also welcomed a second dog into our home. She actually happened to be one of the dogs I first started boarding on Rover! Her previous owner could not keep her any longer but trusted me enough to hand her over to me. She was a super sweet, laidback dog who I was in love with. First and foremost my cats have always been part of my life since I was 10 years old! I am the proud mother of Choco, Mari & Coyo, a beautiful, funny Tuxedo cat and two wonderful torties and I do love, love any chance I get in taking care of cats so feel free to contact me if you need any feline TLC while you're away! I'm confident I will get along with your pets as I am reliable, consistent, warm and always looking to meet your needs as well as your pets! I'm also CPR/First Aid certified for animals, both cats and dogs alike. I hope to meet your dogs and cats soon enough!

Michelle is a great pet sitter. The cats love her, she takes great care of them and she always shows on time. She plays with the cats and hangs out with them. We are so glad we’ve found someone local we can trust with our two fur babies.

Michelle was sweet and such a help. She dropped in on our 2 cats for a few days while we were out of town. She got our shy cat that usually hides out of his shell! He was out since day 1 of her visits. She played with them daily and brushed their fur when they allowed it! Thanks Michelle!

Michelle took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and always on time. From the very first visit, it was clear she truly loves animals and pays attention to their needs. She sent us regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and made sure our cats felt safe, calm, and loved. Even our shy cat, who normally doesn’t trust people, warmed up to her — and that says everything :)

Michelle took care of our cats while we were away for a week, and everything went great. She’s very responsible and clearly loves animals. Even our shy cat, who usually doesn’t trust people, felt comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Michelle as a reliable and caring pet sitter and would be happy to book her again.

We were away on a 7-day trip, and Michelle took great care of our cats during that time. She was very punctual with every visit and always sent us photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Michelle is clearly great with animals — even our shy cat, who usually doesn’t trust people easily, warmed up to her. That meant a lot to us and really showed her genuine care and patience. I would absolutely recommend Michelle as a pet sitter. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly connects with animals.

Michelle is a total pro. She thought of all the stuff that needs to be done for our two cats before I did. The cats like her and she clearly lavished attention on them during her visits. We are so happy to have found someone we can rely on when we go out of town.

Schedule

I’m currently working full-time so I can care for your pets in the AM and also in the evenings. I work from home on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays so I can visit pets up to 3x on those days. I’m also usually available on weekends and always on holidays.

16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Michelle can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if they are aggressive towards other animals or people. I'd need to be informed of any health conditions or concerns, any allergies or medications that need to be administered. That way I can offer personalized care and be aware of any special conditions in each given guest. I'd also like to know if there are any activities or routines that the dog/cat follows, to make it feel at home and have you be sure they are comfortable and in good hands. I don't necessarily have any breed preferences, as well.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
