About

Hi, my name is Michelle and I love animals, especially cats! I have been a cat parent my whole life and can’t imagine a home without at least a few cats. As a lifelong cat parent and previous cat rescue group member with over 10 years of experience, I understand the importance animals play in our lives. For me, my cats are family and I want the very best for them, especially when I am away from home. I promise to treat your cats as if they were my cats. This means a bunch of love, reassurance, play and maybe even a treat or two.

Michelle took great care of my cat, Bree during my holiday vacation. I appreciate that Michelle took the time to come by twice to familiarize herself with Bree and her medical needs (shots and pills). Michelle sent me updates and pics daily. I will definitely call on Michelle for my future cat sitting needs. Thank you Michelle for treating my fur baby as your own. 😺

Actually, all of the above apply to Michelle. She was professional and personal with my cats. They warmed up to her quickly. I felt very comfortable with Michelle and would definitely use her again.

Our first time using a pet sitter for our 2 cats and we definitely chose the best. Michelle was amazing! She sent daily texts and pictures to keep us updated and stress free. Can't wait for our next vacation.

Michelle put us at ease as we traveled last minute for a funeral. We met her briefly and then we were off. We have 2 dogs, 1 is a 12 y/o old and 1 is an 18 month old pup. She kept them both happy and truly heard what I said about tiring the little one out. We have not had great experiences in the past so we are thrilled that we can rely on Michelle. It was a necessary and welcome relief, that she followed our instructions. The last sitter did not. We rarely travel. Everyday, I was given peace of mind by Michelle. I returned to calm, non-neurotic dogs and for that I am grateful. The house did not smell or have any leftover stains, like we had with the last sitter. I will use her again and again...

Michelle at Happy Pawz took fantastic care of our cat, providing numerous updates and pictures during our trip that helped alleviated any anxiousness we felt about being away for as long as we were. She's someone you can trust to take care of your pet while you're away.
