Cat Whisperer in Cat Haven!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Michelle and I am fortunate enough to be a dedicated petsitter. I have been providing petsitting/dogwalking services for 13 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 is a half-Lab, half-Mastiff mix, 120 lbs. of love and joy! I also very recently welcome 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 is a super sweet, laidback dog who we are in love with and she gets along with other dogs. 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, a beautiful, funny Tuxedo cat 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!

She’s now a recurring guest in my kitty’s life. So caring and goes above and beyond always.

Michelle jumped in to help care for Mr. Miso at the last minute and was so great! She was communicative, provided so many adorable photos, and went above and beyond to give my sweet kitty love, attention, a clean bowl, and a clean litter box. I highly recommend Michelle, and will definitely be returning to her in the future!

Second time booking this lovely lady. I’ve been very nervous leaving my cat alone, but Michelle goes above and beyond. She gives my kitty love and pets and cares about his eating habits and always always is responsive, putting my mind at ease. I’ve already booked her for the third time.

Michelle has been so great with my two kitties. They are normally very shy around anyone new, but they warmed up to her so quickly. Michelle always sends plenty of pictures of them playing, which always puts me at ease. Her response time is also very quick which is helpful when planning to be away from home.

Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love to go hiking around with dogs or even walk around the neighborhoods of Tujunga and La Cañada or adjacent. I know various routes that allow for a lot of space and different types of road, trail, etc. I will also play fetch with them to expel their energy. I can also give a little massage as my dog requires weekly massages. I play like a child with cats and love petting and brushing them to their hearts content.
