Hi I’m Michelle, a non smoker and non drinker who splits my time between my home in Seattle and London. I’m a director for a children’s charity and feel very fortunate that I’m able to work and give back at the same time. Strangely allergic to Bananas. When im not doing camps for kids or playing tennis, I enjoy being home watching a good movie or reading a good book. Which gives me alot of free time which is why I love to pet sit and house sit. It’s fun, rewarding and the best of both worlds.

I’m a director for a children’s charity and also Airbnb host and traveler so I know how important it is to care for someone else home as if it were my very own and how important it is care for children which also transfers over to pets! As I don’t see the difference between children and pets! I feel like pets are little humans and they should be treated with kindness, love and respect! I take it very seriously and pride myself on being a good and extremely reliable sitter. It’s a way of life for me.

Information Michelle U. would like to know about your pet

I would like to have a meet & greet prior to sitting that way I can ensure I have all your pet needs and I believe it sets the tone for a good sit :)

A typical day

I have a lot of free time and being that I’m a homebody, your pet will have all the attention and care possible and it’s even better if they’re my shadow so we can do all things together

A Reliable, Trustworthy Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

I have over 15+ Years of experience of pet and house sitting. Formerly on THS with 60+ sits and all 5 star reviews! I pride myself on caring for anyone’s pets and home as if it were my own! They deserve all the love and utmost care with love, attention and respect, I believe in loving the work that you do and nothing makes me happier than working with animals and giving the care and companionship they deserve. I’m also a home owner myself and a host on Airbnb so I know what it’s like to have someone in my home and hoping they will care for my home as if it were their own which is why I have a perfect rating. It’s a way of life and it feels good to know I’ve done a good and thorough job.

Michelle has taken great care of two different dogs of ours on several occasions for extended periods of time. She took care of Boo, our 15.5 year old rescue with kidney disease, which required her to give him medications and subcutaneous fluids and encourage him to eat and take walks. She was caring for him when she let us know that she thought he was near the end and encouraged us to cut our vacation short to come home and help ease his transition. She cried with us when we had to let him go. We were very grateful that Boo received such loving attentive care from Michelle prior to and at the end of his life. After losing Boo, we adopted a new 10 week old puppy (Buddy) sooner than we expected. We had already purchased tickets for a 3 night concert series at the Gorge Amphitheater and assumed we might have to eat the (expensive) tickets because we couldn't imagine finding anyone who would be willing to take on a little monster with razor sharp teeth and claws who was still in the process of being housebroken and who required constant vigilance to prevent destruction of our home and property. I texted Michelle and explained the situation, fully expecting her to decline the invitation to petsit under the circumstances. But to my surprise and eternal gratitude, she agreed to sit with him for the 4 nights we would be gone. Michelle kept an eagle eye on Buddy and averted disaster. She even took him to a puppy class that we would otherwise have had to cancel while we were gone. Michelle is a devoted and responsible petsitter, and we will certainly call on her again to sit for Buddy, who will hopefully be less of a handful by the time we need her again. I give her my highest recommendation.

Michelle was 5-star plus! She obviously loved our dog, Edgar, and concientiously cared for him with walks, playtime, and lots of photos to keep us informed about his activities. The most impressive thing about Michelle was how she dealt with a long power-outage while she was here. She was very resourceful, and didn't complain about the situation. We felt confident that our dog and house were safe during the outage. Michelle was neat and kept the house in good order, so we returned to a clean house. We felt sorry that she was subjected to a power outage, but she seemed to take it in her stride! Michelle is very personable, mature, and competent. She asked many pertinent questions when she came for an orientation, which gave us confidence about her experience... we'd have her back in a second!

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle, She’s the absolute best pet and house sitter we’ve ever had. She’s a great communicator, responsible, extremely clean and above all trustworthy. Our 3 pets and chickens absolutely adore her. She has become our go-to sitter and we are so grateful we found her. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for your pets and home!
