Welcome to Michelle’s Caring Cat Sitting Services =^.^=
I am a lifelong cat mom, having at least one cat ever since I was a child. My obsession with cats and the joy of helping others inspired the concept of providing cat sitting services to cat parents, while they’re away on vacation or if a helping hand with cat care is needed often.
Rabbits also need a professional sitter!
My continued education expanded to rabbit care including Enrichment for Small Mammals and Rabbit & Pocket Pet First Aid and Care for Pet-Care Professionals.
My services include daily drop-in visits to your home where I check in on your cats and rabbits and ensure their food and water are refilled, litter is cleaned, any fresh messes are cleaned up, medication administered if required and they enjoy some playtime, cuddles and pets! You’ll also receive an update from each visit with photos/videos so you can see your kitties and bunnies while you’re away and stay informed of your cat or rabbit’s behaviour, eating, drinking and litter box activity.
My experience with cat and rabbit care includes following specific feeding requirements, litter box scooping and thorough litter box cleaning, litter pen refreshing, cleanup of dry and wet messes, administering pill or liquid medication, ear gels, eye drops as well as subcutaneous fluids and insulin.
I am a
Certified Professional Pet Sitter®,
Fear Free Certified Professional and certified in
Feline CPR and Emergency First Aid through
Feline Health Canada/International as well as
Pet First Aid through
Walks N’ Wags. I am also a member of
Pet Sitters International and insured and bonded through
PROfur.
Recently I attended
Pet Sitter World 2024, an annual gathering hosted by Pet Sitters International providing Professional Pet Sitters the opportunity to connect and enhance their knowledge in the pet care industry through seminars, networking and discussions.
During the conference I had the incredible opportunity of participating in the panel discussion covering scheduling and safety and provided my insight from a solo sitter perspective! Check out the

Previous experience working in pet care includes receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I gained valuable knowledge in pet health as well as sales associate in pet retail assisting pet parents with their purchases for their four-legged family members.
Supporting the Ottawa cat community is another passion of mine. November 2023 I began volunteering with
Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue, participating in fundraising events to help raise awareness of the kitties in need of a furever home.
Ready to chat about your cat and rabbit? We’ll get started with a complimentary meet and greet before my first visit!
