Highlights
Pet care experience
Self-certified human-shaped cat pillow.
I have been around cats since I was very young, probably around 8-9 years old. I grew up with three of them in Italy and stayed with them as they became senior grumpy cats until they naturally passed away. As I became older, I started taking on more responsibilities (e.g., feeding, cleaning litter, taking them to the vet etc.), but most of all enjoyed playing with them and taking very long naps together, so much that I became a pro at sleeping in the most uncomfortable positions so that they could keep resting well. Since moving to the UK, I have mainly interacted with neighbours' cats as I have been living in rental properties (and you might know how difficult it is to find a place that accepts pets!) and I often take care of my sister's pets when she goes on holiday or is away for work. I always try to understand a cat's personality as I interact with them and respect boundaries, especially at the beginning when I am getting to know them or if a cat doesn't like to be petted - cats' butler mode on. I think I tend to be more of a cat person, but I do enjoy the company of dogs as well, and I often join friends who own dogs for a nice walk.

Ratings and reviews
Michelle was absolutely lovely and took great care of Luca, we felt very comfortable knowing she was there. We also appreciated how quickly she responded to us and adapted to our chaotic booking process - thank you Michelle! We will definitely book again when needed :)
On my first meeting of Michelle I knew she would be the right person to look after my precious girl cat , I could tell by her persona and her calmness . Michelle kept in touch with updates and photos . I would not hesitate to use her again if I needed someone . 5******
Michelle’s easygoing and responsible. She’s helped with our cats while we’ve been away, and everything’s gone smoothly. The cats are happy, the place is clean, and she always checks in with updates.
Michelle is dependable, calm, and great with animals. She’s looked after our cats multiple times and always does a solid job. We never have to worry.

Schedule
I work 4 days a week 9-5, but I have some flexibility with start/end time and I sometimes also work from home, so I can accommodate visits in the morning and late afternoon/evening Mondays to Thursdays. The rest of the days, Fridays to Sundays, I am pretty flexible since I am often home studying, but in general, as long as I know my schedule, I can pretty much work around commitments.
