Introduction Over 5 years of housesitting and pet experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals! Non-smoking female, responsible, caring and 100% reliable with high standards and work ethic. I have travelled around the world housesitting and have much knowledge with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. What I bring to the assignment / relevant experience I have been house and pet sitting for over 4 years and have completed over 6 long-term housesits in 4 different countries! I take pride in doing a great job for my hosts and there is no greater compliment than to be invited back and get referrals. Of course, good references help too! Please scroll down to the bottom of the page to read my recent references from home owners I've had the pleasure to work with. Additionally, I am currently homeowner and landlord in the US, so can easily put myself in home owners' shoes and understand your desire to find someone who will look after your home well during your absence. Besides all the animals that have been part of my family throughout my life (dogs, cats, caged birds, tropical fish, hedgehog, hamsters and guinea pigs), I volunteered at the Saint Louis Humane Society numerous times while living there and have helped care for friends' and neighbors' pets during their holidays away. 5-Star Review from Trusted Housesitters Michelle was a wonderful sitter and I am sure our cat fell in love with her! It was really nice to meet Michelle before we left and she was an instant hit. A very warming, friendly and funny nature, even my child befriended her instantly! We received nice updates while we were away which was great. The place was spotless on our return, I would not hesitate to have Michelle stay again if she would like to. - Denise from Oslo, Norway 5-Star Review from Trusted Housesitters A big thank you to Michelle for dog sitting our two dogs for 16 days. She completely put our mind at ease as she is clearly a dog lover. She even came a day earlier so that she could learn our routines and walk routes which was great. We could relax on holiday knowing that our dogs were in good hands and well cared for. Michelle even went out of her way to upload regular photos of Jess & Molly enjoying their break from us keeping us informed of their trips out. We returned to a tidy house, happy dogs and made a new friend that we will keep in touch with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Michelle for future house sitting. Thank you Michelle! - Kate from Sutton Colfield, United Kingdom 5-Star Review from Trusted Housesitters This was my first house sit experience and wow what a fantastic person to start with. Michelle certainly has set the bar high for other sitters. She was such a warm, friendly and very thoughtful person. My fur baby Brodie absolutely fell in love with her and I could see that she truly cared for animals. On my return I found a very happy dog, the house was clean and tidy and she was more than happy to help around the house whilst I was there. I enjoyed her company so much that I asked her to stay a while longer and I spent a couple of enjoyable days showing her some more sights of Sydney. From the first moment I felt comfortable with her and did not worry at all about leaving her in my home with my baby Brodie. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anybody who needs a house sitter. - Berrin from Sydney, Australia
