I’m not currently able to host pets in my home, but I’m happy to provide care in your home where your pets feel most comfortable. I focus on maintaining their normal routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Information Michelle T. would like to know about your pet

To be a great pet sitter, it is very important to know the pet's specific needs and routines. This includes their daily schedule, feeding habits, medication needs, and any known anxieties or triggers. Additionally, knowing their personality, favorite toys, and how they interact with other animals or people can help ensure a comfortable and safe experience.

A typical day

I love making sure pets stay happy, active, and entertained while their owners are away. For dogs, I enjoy activities like walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, and other play that keeps them both physically and mentally stimulated. If they enjoy exploring, I’m happy to take them on longer walks through safe neighborhoods or nearby outdoor areas. For cats, I like to use interactive toys, laser pointers, and play that taps into their natural hunting instincts. I also make sure to spend quiet time with them for affection and companionship. Every pet is different, so I always tailor activities to their personality, energy level, and comfort so they stay engaged, relaxed, and happy during their stay.

Caring & Experienced Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Michelle, and caring for animals has been a big part of my life for many years. I’ve been providing professional pet sitting and dog walking services throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties since 2009 through my own pet sitting business. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make it a priority to treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m very reliable, attentive, and respectful of both pets and homes. Many of my clients have trusted me with their animals and houses for years because they know I take my responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with large and strong dogs, multiple pets, administering medications if needed, and maintaining regular routines that keep pets happy and stress-free. Outside of pet care, I enjoy being active outdoors, so walks on neighborhood paths or local beaches are something I truly enjoy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Michelle is an amazing cat sitter. My kitty is usually very shy and Michelle did a great job bonding with her and taking care of her. I am nervous to leave my fur-baby, but knowing Michelle is there for Zuni makes it easier.
