Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover & grew up with both a cat and a dog, so I know how to care for pets with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care like they’re part of my own family!

Had a good experience! From initial communication to the final pick-up Michelle made it easy and I felt comfortable going out of town and leaving my fur baby. Liam had a wonderful time and was well cared for.

Michelle is lovely and our dog was so happy to be with her for a week! We really appreciated that she was able to work from home so our dog wasn’t alone for too long. Michelle sent photos and updates daily. I would definitely book with her again.

Schedule

I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m typically available for evening visits on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need, even with a busy schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure pets feel at home with lots of love, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I have a turf balcony for quick potty breaks and fresh air, and I’m all about keeping them comfy and cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me in New York is filled with play, comfort, and care. I start the day with some fresh air on my turf balcony, letting pups stretch their legs and enjoy the view. Throughout the day, we’ll take walks around the neighborhood and spend time at the dog park right in my building for plenty of exercise and social time. For cats, I’m happy to match their energy — whether that means cuddling, playing with toys, or giving them space to relax and feel at ease.
