We Are Passionate About Your Pet’s Wellbeing

Hello, my name is Michelle and welcome to my website!

I am a 64 year old female, non smoker, active, and an animal and nature lover. I have been petsitting for a few years now after I decided to do this on becoming an empty nester and for the genuine love of animals and their companionship. I have sat all around Perth and beyond, taking care of mainly dogs. They are such great company and gives me a sense of purpose at this stage of my life. I also enjoy the lifestyle, travelling around, meeting such lovely people and their pets, lovingly caring for their pets in their own homes. This gives the owners peace of mind that their precious pets are in their own environment (and in the case of dogs, not in kennels where they can become sick).

My experience with animals started at a very young age, being partly raised on my grandparent’s dairy farm in the Waikato, New Zealand, with the most beautiful working dog, border collie, Tip. He was my best friend as a kid and so intelligent – he just knew when it was time to go round up the cows for milking twice a day. My grandfather only had to say ‘way back Tip’ and off he would run to the cow’s paddock, herding them in for milking. Well those days seem like a life time ago but the memories still remain of Tip’s and my special bond.

Over the years I have owned and cared for various animals.

While you’re browsing my website, please have a look at the reviews and cheeky doggy photos – they are genuine petsits that I have undertaken over the past few years.

Words from Our Happy Pet Owners

Here’s what our wonderful clients have to say about the care, love, and attention we give their furry friends.

Dear Michelle, I would like to extend this letter of appreciation and gratitude of your wonderful Pet/House Sitting Services during my August /September 2024 holiday. You have taken very good care of my boy Phoenix as if he was your own. You have kept in contact with me during this time and brought attention to me of your concerns and issues that you had observed which I'm grateful for. I really like your Dog App where by one can see where you have walked and great to see some photos of your outings. I really apricate that my house was nice and clean when I returned. I highly recommend your services to others. Please feel free to use this as a reference to new clients and I'm happy for you to pass my number on to them if they wish to contact me or have any further questions.

SONIA

To whom it may concern It gives me such pleasure to provide this reference for Michelle. Having had some previous difficulties with getting my two dogs looked after, I came across Michelle by complete chance on a local Facebook page; she had been recommended by a number of members of the group who all spoke very highly of her services. We arranged to meet, and it was very evident she loved dogs and knew her stuff. She picked up on their body language, took time to build trust with both my girls and has completely won them over. For one of them in particular, this is no mean feat! It was a great opportunity to get to know a bit about Michelle as well and she's the kind of person that made me feel like I had known her forever. My house/pet-sit experience was absolutely faultless – Michelle gave me the peace of mind I needed knowing that my two fur-babies were being taken care of as though they were her own, and she also took the most amazing care of my house as well. Prior to Michelle house-sitting, there had been some extended “teething issues” with my two dogs adopting to life with each other which Michelle navigated well beyond expectations. She provided suggestions to support their ongoing relationship building and has added enrichment to their lives. Having noticed the positive impact she has had on my girls, Michelle now provides her walking service during the week. Their walks are always logged and I love seeing the photos she provides as well. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Michelle’s services. She is one in a million and I was so thrilled with my overall experience, that I no longer need to seek out friends and family to look after my babies.

KATE

Hi Michelle, my pleasure to provide you a reference 🙂 I highly recommend Michelle as a house/pet sitter. I had never used one before but found myself needing someone to take care of my dog (Tisha) for one week, at pretty short notice. I found Michelles information on our local community facebook page, I sent her a message and she responded very quickly. She was very communicative and flexible, and she asked great questions about Tishas routine, care, food, medications - asked questions I hadn't even thought of myself! Michelle did an outstanding job taking care of Tish, checking in frequently and sharing with me funny things that happened on their walks. My dog can be very high energy and pulls, which I was a bit worried if someone would be able to handle, I had nothing to worry about as Michelle knew how to manage her behaviour really well. Michelle left my house in wonderful condition, I really couldn't have been happier with the service. Using Michelle as a pet sitter was a great experience and I would gladly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a professional pet sitter who also has a warm, personal touch. Tish almost seemed a bit sad when I came home, she will miss the adventures with Michelle!

KIMBERLEY

I couldn't recommend Michelle highly enough. She made our introduction to using house/dog sitters a breeze. She was wonderful with our Border Collie TJ giving him lots of love, attention, play and walks. Michelle sent us links to a dog walking app so we could follow his walks and also photos reassuring us that TJ was having a ball. Michelle looked after our house and gardens with great care and we came home to a clean house which was a lovely surprise. We'll definitely be asking Michelle to do future house and dog sits when we go away.
