About Your Critter Sitters!

Michelle

Hi, I'm Michelle, the animal lover and visionary behind it! Starting as a receptionist in 2008, I quickly climbed the ranks to become a Veterinarian Technician. My work alongside an avian and exotic specialist ignited her love for all things exotic. In between shifts, I began pet-sitting and within two years, I quit my job to offer in-home boarding. After moving to North Carolina in 2019, I feared my business wouldn't take off but experienced the opposite. In December 2022, I opened a dedicated Doggy Daycare facility here in Shelby, NC. I give all my credit to God and embrace the future with gratitude and faith.
