YOUR CATS WON'T EVEN MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE AWAY
I know that may seem hard to hear, but its true...and its a good thing. My job is to distract your cats and keep them content and happy when you can't be home with them.
I know how difficult it is to be away from your cats because I am a cat parent to. We have four chatty, feisty, sensitive and incredibly cuddly felines and when we go away overnight, we....Worry!
That's why when you pick someone to care for your cats, you need to make sure the cats will be content and happy, and you will also!
Visit updates and pictures are a must when you’re away and you should not have to ask repeatedly for them - they should be expected. Your cat sitter partners with you to provide great care for the cats and customer services for you!
It's especially important that your cats are loved, petted and snuggled if they want it; talked to and pampered so they don’t get lonely; that they're fed and observed eating correctly and that their litter box is scooped, checked and cleaned daily. If possible, you'll want someone who has a discerning eye for cat care and changes in their behavior and health.
On top of that - you need someone who is detailed, mindful, trustworthy, honors your home and belongings - and keeps everything secure when they leave. You also need to have someone insured, educated and experienced - and runs their business professionally.
For those clients that would like VIP services, we can customize cat care and home tasks to meet your needs and we have over 25 years worth of references we are happy to share with you.
That's me in a nutshell. I pride myself on caring for my clients cat's and their homes with a detailed eye and I love what I do.
Do you have a senior or special needs cat that
needs gentle care on a daily basis?

supplements mixed in or medication given?
Do you have a cat that gets very lonely if left
alone for too long?
Do you have a multi-cat household (2, 3, 4 or more cats) that needs a lot of detailed
care, cleaning and home tasks to keep everything on track?

Snuggle, Play Time or Interaction Everyday?
Would you like text, picture and
video updates on every visit so you can stay connected to your cats?
Do you have lots of mail, packages
or dry cleaning deliveries that need to be taken in daily?
Then my service would be a good fit for you!
My Purr-spective on Senior Cat CareIve been taking care of cats in a variety of health conditions since 1997. My first degree is in Animal Care and I base all my attention with all the services I offer with that foundation.
Senior cats can be complicated to manage their health issues, but in my experience and professional opinion senior and special needs cats can benefit from palliative care and be kept comfortable.
Making the decision to keep your cat alive but to deny medical care, or comfort techniques such as fluids, and pain medications is considered neglect and in some cases animal cruelty and I don't feel comfortable doing cat sitting and being told I can't provide care.
