Hi, I'm Michelle! I love animals and I particularly love cats and cats love me because I understand them. I call them "the fur people"!
I'm experienced with asthmatic cats, can give the Aerokat inhaler & know how to administer pill pockets.
I provide a safe, relaxed, "cat-friendly", comfortable environment for your fur-baby.
I'm happy to provide your kitty with a perfect home away from home!

Michelle is super sweet and a real cat lady! She even let us pick up our cat late night.

We were very happy with our cat sitter Michelle. We communicated well. I was happy she had No other pets so she was able to give our cat all her attention.
I called our sitter the cat whisperer. As soon as she met our cat I knew I didn't have to worry.
I would definitely refer her and I also.would use her services again!

Michelle was outstanding - communicative and abided by our feeding instructions which is important due to Mango's early chronic kidney disease. I would absolutely request Michelle by name the next time we need to board Mango.

Michelle was kind and wonderful! Took amazing care of my 3 cats. My flight was delayed coming back and she was very understanding and accommodating. Everything was all packed and cleaned when I picked up the cats. She sent me pictures and updates of them and it great to know they were in such good hands. The day after I picked them up she checked in on them to make sure everything was ok.

Michelle Abbott-Smith is:
• Someone who immediately connects with humans and animals. I could tell this not just from the updates and messages she sent me regularly, but also from the way my cat bonded with her
• I never had any worry or doubt about my pet's health or happiness during the 3 weeks I was away. Michelle was very competent and loving throughout for my pet
• She was very methodical and thorough - she had all of my items packaged and ready for pickup neatly organized, all on time
• She also regularly gave me updates sprinkled with humor

The service exceeded our expectations. Booking was a pleasure and we felt that our needs were taken into account very well. Michelle was absolutely incredible and we hope we can have her watch our cats again. She not only fed and medicated them, she clearly showed them so much love and attention that they seemed sad to be leaving her apartment.

We had a wonderful experience with Michelle. She is so experienced and our cats came back happier than when they left! She gave detailed descriptions of the days while we were away and we just loved everything about the process and how smooth it was and how accommodating and responsive she was!

My cats fell in love with Michelle. She was so attentive and doting. We received many updates and photos during their stay. When we first dropped them off I felt worried and guilty for leaving them behind. Those feelings disappeared almost immediately! I started to view the stay as their vacation! I highly recommend Michelle.

Our cats were healthy and happy when we returned and clearly comfortable with their caregiver when we came to pick them up. They hadn't gained or lost weight.
Michelle also updated us during our trip with emails and photos to keep us reassured

Michelle was very pleasant and we felt very comfortable the moment we met her. While our cat was in her care she sent me updates and photos every other day and it was clear that Michelle was very gentle and caring to our cat while she was in her care.
