Safety, trust & environment

Lots of play, treats and unconditional love! If there is anything that I need to know, please do not hesitate to inform me. I have personal experience with administrating oral medications and will be extra mindful of any allergies or conditions your fur baby has. Please inform me ahead of time if there is any additional information that I need to know in regard to any tips or tricks for getting access to your pups and kitties such as tricky locks, doors, entry codes, etc so I may plan ahead for your convenience.

Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

I would truly appreciate it if I were informed ahead of time of any food sensitivities, behavioral triggers, etc, etc that your pup may have. Safety is my top priority, and to ensure the best service I can possibly provide, the more I know, the better!

A typical day

Long walks in the park, socializing with the local doggies (with permission, of course), plenty of play time and cuddles all day. Whatever your pup prefers!

Cats are magic

Cat care experience

What I love most about cats is that you don't always choose them, but sometimes they also choose you. In my case, at one point I never thought I would ever be a cat person until I came across a litter of newborn kittens when I was about 12 years old. One kitten in particular, (whom I named "Mittens") imprinted on me and we were inseparable for 17 years. Although Mittens is no longer with me, she left a lasting impression on me that made me appreciate cats for how they simply are. Thanks to my personal experience, I adopted my little gingersnap (domestic longhair), Daisy, back in 2012 from a rescue during my time in Minnesota who I brought back home with me to NYC. Daisy is no longer with me due to cancer, but I adopted a stray kitten that I named Caly (Calytrix) because life is not the same without a cat. I will treat and treasure any cat I come across as if they were my own (yes, even the strays!)

Michelle is great with my kitty Minnie. She gave me constant updates, making me feel comfortable leaving my baby at home.

Michelle was wonderful! This was her first time sitting with my cats and she did it for 10 days. She followed any instructions provided to her and gave both my boy cats lots of playtime each visit. They tend to make messes and she was kind enough to clean up after them. There was a winter storm that was going to make it impossible for her to visit the boys one day, but she gave me plenty advance notice and ensured they were stocked up on everything to get them through the additional day without her. I would definitely book Michelle again in the future.

Michelle was a terrific caretaker for my single cat who was missing her brother over the holiday break. She is a great communicator and was flexible when I needed to make changes. I look forward to working with her again!
