About Michelle

Hi! I've had animals all my life - mostly growing up with cats before having my own dog with a previous boyfriend. Unfortunately, we split up - and I'm missing my puppy fix! Send me a message so I can look after your animals and satisfy my need to give pats at the same time :)

My photos include pics of me with our pup Sadie, who is a French Bulldog, as well as with my moggy tabby cat Diego. 

Diego is an overly friendly puss, who cannot stand not being touched. I thought it was cute to teach him to give kisses when he was a kitten, but he doesn't actually understand how to gently give kisses... all the same I enjoy his head butts 😍

Having enjoyed using PawShake to look after my pets whilst I've been away, I thought it was high time that I returned the favour to my community - yes, I'm doing this for you... no gain for myself such as pup beach walks or purring kitties... I've only had good experiences and I want to give that same experience. Meanwhile, I also understand the amount of trust that it takes to leave your fur baby with a relative stranger - I can promise that I will do my utmost to make them feel loved and content whilst you are away ☺️

I'm mostly available after work hours (I work 8:30-5pm Monday to Friday). I am happy to house sit throughout the week, so long as your pets are content at home whilst I work. I can give oral medications and can offer basic training to your dog. I can trim cats nails if required and groom both cats and dogs.  

I am unable to do home visits or dog walking during work hours. Happy to water plants or bring in mail too, just let me know what you need when I'm pet sitting for you. For your dog's walk, I am flexible with what you would like - some dogs only need half an hour gentle walk, whereas others require longer and more energy to be burnt!

For house sitting, I am available most of the time so long as you are aware that I work in Tauranga city 8:30-5pm Monday to Friday, so cannot be with your pets all day, but will happily come home to them and hang out with them on weekends. I will take all instructions left to me about how to lock up your home etc whilst you are away and I will treat your home like my own! I own my own home so certainly know how to look after others 😊😊

We felt very confident leaving our three frenchies with Michelle! They were so well looked after and we returned home to 3 very happy doggos! We would definitely recommend Michelle :)
