About Michelle

I just moved back to Victoria from the mainland. I've been working in non-profit management for over a decade in the housing and homelsssness sector. I love being part of a good cause, helping provide dignified housing to people who are experiencing challenges in their lives. I live in the Royal Oak area, and work downtown so am pretty mobile.

I feel very privileged to have had pets my entire life, mostly cats but dogs, reptiles and rodents as well. I know how challenging it can be to find someone to look after a furry family member and place a lot of value in folks who helped me care for mine. As an adult I have had two cats for upwards of 15 years, but lost my guy Oskar a couple of years ago, and my gal Ophelia in November '19 due to failing health/old age, so I'm looking to have more furry faces in my life. I’m quite fond of most pets other than giant spiders! Nothing gives me more joy in life than sticking my face in a soft cat belly or having a good snuggle but I understand and respect cats with all personalities and affection levels.

I appreciate a clean space, and I’ll ensure it’s kept clean while you’re away; I’m not afraid of frequently scooping litter boxes and sweeping up the sand they leave behind. I promise to care for your cat the same way I cared for my fur babies.

My visits can be

half hour long (depending on travel time) and can include feeding, scooping litter box, administering medication, brushing, playing, snuggling and a lot of love. Sweeping and plant watering are also included ;).

Michelle took excellent care of our two older cats and young kitten while we were away! We came home to very happy cats and a nice tidy home. We felt very comfortable with her taking care of our cats; she obviously loves animals very much. We would definitely recommend her!

Michelle did a wonderful job of looking after our 2 cats and rabbit while we were away. One of the cats required medication, and Michelle had no problems giving it to him. All of the pets were relaxed and happy when we got home, and the house was very clean. I will definitely ask Michelle to look after the pets again.
