I have been housesitting full-time since August 2024 in Melbourne, providing petsitting for cats. Plenty of experience, with over 45 housesits across Australia, NZ and USA since 2019. Most interested in catsits up to 5km from Melbourne CBD.

I'm happy to provide regular updates and pics of your cats, and any helpful advice in advance so you have a stress-free housesitting experience.

I'll leave your home looking as good as you left it (or even cleaner)!

I'm environmentally aware and energy conscious, so no need to worry about large power or water bills from me. I do not have a car, but am very comfortable taking public transport and Uber/Didi rideshare.

I'm a non-smoker and do not have visitors during housesits.

I work in event management (a mix of work from home + on-site). Around housesitting duties, I enjoy seeing theatre shows and taking Latin dance classes. 

Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Some additional recent reviews include:

Amity - Fitzroy North (Jun 2025 - 4 weeks) Michelle was a fantastic house sitter. When we came home our house was probably cleaner than when we left and our cat loved her and was super well looked after. Her communication before we left and while we were away was great, and we felt comfortable having her in our home. Thank you so much Michelle!!

Damian - Thornbury VIC (Dec 2024 - 1 week 2 nights) This was our first time using [the housesit website], and I confess that we had some reservations regarding the process. Michelle completely swept those reservations away - she was engaged and responsive in planning, incredibly careful and clean as a house-sitter, a wonderful guardian for our cat while we were away, took great care of our outdoor and indoor plants, and a friendly and thoughtful sitter, sending us updates and pictures during the sit. The place was immaculately clean when we returned. Michelle is amazing - we’d absolutely recommend her for any house sit. Thanks Michelle!!!

Amy - St Kilda VIC (Nov 2024 - 2 weeks) Highly recommend Michelle as a pet sitter. She took great care of my cat and apartment while I was away and her communication was excellent. Would absolutely use her again in the future!

Lisa - St Kilda East VIC (Oct 2024 - 4 nights) Was so pleased to have Michelle come back for a repeat stay, and would love to do so again - super easy to deal with, house is left tidy and fur babies happy. Hopefully we'll find another time!

Maree - Northcote VIC (Oct 2024 - 1 week 3 nights) Michelle was wonderful. We came home to a very relaxed cat and our many plants had been well cared for too. Michelle is very organised and great to communicate with. House was spotless. Highly recommend.

Pip - St Kilda VIC (Jun 2024 - 1 week 4 nights) Michelle is an absolute DREAM of a pet sitter. Not only is my cat calm and settled, but my house always looks AMAZING when I return. I have had her look after my home and pet a couple of times, and will definitely ask her again in the future.
