Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat care with extra love 🥰
I've always been a cat lover! I had two kittens since I was 17 years old, but I had to leave them at home (Bay Area) when I went to school in SoCal. In 2023 I adopted my own Siamese kitten! Since adoption I have taught him how to do tricks and harness trained him to go on walks! I also regularly clip his nails and brush his fur and bathe him once in awhile so I know how to be gentle with cats and to groom them without agitating them.I am also a super calm person and can handle cats that are anxious/territorial and have experience in giving medication in various forms such as liquid, pills, and injections.

Michelle was a great and very communicative sitter! Our cats were lucky to have her.
Michelle took great care of my two cats. She accepted my booking request quickly, listened to instructions, sent pictures, and was responsive. I’ll rebook her.
Michelle was amazing with my two cats! They got along wonderfully with her two cats and seemed very happy and comfortable in her home. She sent consistent updates and clearly treated them with so much love and care. My cats were extremely well taken care of, and I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Michelle was really great with my cat! My cat is very timid and she was very patient with her. Would definitely book again!

Schedule
I am currently a PhD student at UCI. My daily schedule is usually very flexible as I do partially work from home. I make my own schedule for the most part which means that I'll be able to accomodate your pet's schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a three story house with lots of space. My room is also a huge master bedroom full of cat shelves as well as scratching posts and plenty of space for cats to run and jump around. I have a litter robot in addition to a regular litter box which means that the cats won't have to worry about a dirty bathroom and even get to choose which one they want to use! I have a super friendly cat who is playful and respectful! He's super chill and loves other cats so you don't need to worry about him! My sister does have a dog, but she is gone most of the time as she loves to travel. There will also be a barrier that separates the dog from where the cats will be so there will be NO CONTACT between the cats and the dog. Your cats' safety is my priority and I have a few cameras around so I will always be able to monitor your cats even if I am not physically present.

A typical day
I love playing and cuddling with cats! I have many different types of cat toys from fishing pole style ones to interactive ball toys and lots of little catnip filled toys as well. In addition, I have cat shelves and tons of scratching posts so that kitties can have all the fun they want running around and jumping! I also have a passion for making gourmet meals for my cat with many toppers in super aesthetic plates and I would love to do the same with your kitties (please do let me know if they have sensitivities that prevent them from having extra toppers) :) I enjoy reading on cat nutrition in my free time and am working on making my own cute cat treats!
