Highlights
Pet care experience
Purr-fect Pet Sitter, Cats & Dogs!
I grew up with cats, but I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was in middle school. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and stay with their pets while they were away. I currently have two female cats (Gretchen & Mischka) and one male dog (Francis) who I absolutely adore. I also volunteer at the Saratoga County Animal Shelter most weekends to help with cleaning cages and socializing the animals. (I am also Fear Free Certified! - See in Photos.)

Safety, trust & environment
I would only be able to care for your pet in your home. (I currently live in an apartment complex that limits the number of animals its tenants are allowed to have, and I am at the maximum!) I would follow whatever instructions you give me to care for your pet and would respect your home/belongings.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle was amazing! She stayed with our two dogs for a night and consistently sent us updates/pictures about them. Our pups loved her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Dogsitter! Kobe and Jeter can’t wait for Michelle to watch them again!


Michelle is prompt to respond to requests, she is punctual, kind, friendly and our dog is always happy to see her. We come home to a well cared for dog and feel confident leaving him. We highly recommend her.

Always reliable. So happy to have found her.
Michelle stayed with our dog for the day. She sent us pictures and let us know everything was good. She is very polite, professional and very friendly with our dog. We came home to a happy dog. Thanks Michelle.

Fantastic person, so lucky to have found her


Michelle was wonderful! We loved her - and so did Alice. She is reliable, prompt, and provides prompt updates.
