โœฆ Meet your sitter

Cats just feel at home with me.

I've had a deep, intuitive love for cats my whole life. My home is full of cat toys, sunny window perches, cozy lounging spots and houseplants โ€” my own cat Leo (5 years and counting), my partner's cat Loki, and our gentle dog Luna have found a wealth of safe spots to relax. Cats tend to warm up to me quickly โ€” including the more cautious or shy ones.

I'm home full-time, only heading out a few times a week, so your cat always has company and the freedom to roam and lounge wherever they like. As a fellow pet parent, I follow your instructions to the letter so your cat feels safe and cared for.

"Mitchelle took wonderful care of my cat, Kiwis, while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure Kiwis felt comfortable and loved. I especially appreciated the updates and the attention she gave to my cat's needs. Kiwis also had so much fun spending time with her cats and seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I highly recommend Mitchelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!!"

"My cat Lila was taken care of at Michelle's and had a nice time two weeks ago when I went for a weekend trip. She's trustworthy, responsive and affectionate. Your cat will have a good time and will be in good hands. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฅฐ"

"Mitchelle watched my cat recently and I felt really good about leaving him with her. He is usually friendly, but he can definitely get a little uneasy in new places, so I was paying attention to how he acted. With Mitchelle, he seemed comfortable almost right away, which I don't always see from him. He ended up getting along really quickly with her cat Leo, and they were playing together like best buds. Mitchelle even sent me videos of them playing, which made me feel a lot better while he was there. Her dog Luna was also really good with him. She's a small dog and was super calm around him, almost like she was helping keep the peace while everyone got settled. I could tell Mitchelle really cares and pays attention to the animals she's watching. I trust her with my baby, and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving and responsible to care for their pet."

"I highly recommend Michelle as a cat caregiver. I have personally seen the genuine love, patience, and dedication she gives to cats. She has a natural connection with animals, and even cats who are usually distant or selective seem to gravitate toward her with trust and comfort. Her genuine love and care for cats is so evident that it has even helped prior non-cat people, myself included, see how special cats really are. What stands out most is her calm, compassionate presence. She is especially gentle with shy, fearful, or sensitive cats, and she has a real ability to help them feel safe. She treats every pet with kindness, dignity, respect, and true affection. Anyone leaving their cat in Michelle's care can feel confident knowing they will be loved, protected, and cared for as if they were her own."
