Highlights
Pet care experience
MPH, South Philly pet sitter/walker
I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets in my home since I was a baby. I currently share my home with two beloved cats and have experience as a foster mom for cats in need. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. In addition to my pet care background, I work in public health and hold a Master of Public Health (MPH), which means I bring a high level of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to everything I do. I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, and special-needs pets, and I know how to make every animal feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, walks, or simply being a calm and caring presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

Ratings and reviews
Michelle cared for my cat while I was away more last minute and was wonderful! I so appreciate all her detailed cards and photos while I was away and my sonetimes-apprehensive cat was so snuggly and happy with her. I definitely felt more at ease during my trip and came back to a clean home and very happy cat, thank you!!!
We forgot to leave our keys for a walk and Michelle did everything she could to reach us and make sure our dog was okay. Awesome service!
Michelle was so wonderful! She made my shy kitty feel comfortable enough to play and cuddle. Her messages and photos always made me smile even though I miss my little guy. Thank you Michelle🥰
I would have michelle watch my dog any time! I am apprehensive to leave my dog with just anyone, but michelle put all my worries at ease. She made me feel comfortable and took excellent care of my pup (60 lbs pittie mix). She kept me informed while I was away and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. I will definitely trust her with my pup again!

Schedule
I work full-time but only go into the office twice a week, so I can cater my schedule to your pet’s needs. I’m flexible before and after work, as well as on weekends.
