About Me
***NOT BOARDING DOGS AT THIS TIME. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES!***
Hi! My name is Michelle and I'm a freelance writer living in the Inner West. I decided to take up pet sitting for a couple of reasons ...
1) I love animals. My alternative career choice was becoming a vet, but ultimately the Arts won out. Growing up, my parents only allowed small pets like guinea pigs and fish, so as an adult I've loved owning a cat the past 8 years, and cat sitting and dog sitting for others. I'd love to get another cat or a dog myself, but cost is a major factor for me at this point in my life, so pet sitting it is for now.
2) Bean is a solo cat who is extremely curious and loves socialising. I noticed when I started using Pawshake a couple of years ago that Bean would become very sad leaving houses where there were other cats, so now I'm on a mission to introduce him to some new friends while also helping out fellow pet owners :)

After a few days with Michelle and Bean, Diane came home and was bereft. She obviously wanted to go back as she'd had such a good time, was so well cared for, and missed them both!
I was so grateful to find Michelle, I didn't worry at all on my trip as she sent (entertaining) updates, let Diane sleep in her usual position under the covers, and she and Bean even started bonding.
It was great to leave Diane with such confidence she'd be looked after and I'm hoping she gets to visit again soon. If you can get a spot, this is the place to take your cat when you're away.
Michelle was great, even though my kitty was a little shy, Michelle still gave daily updates on how she was doing and made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. I cannot recommend Michelle enough!
