About: I’ve been around cats since I can remember that’s thanks to my mother for being a crazy cat lady. I love helping strays & fostering many to help them find their forever home. Cats have always had a special place in my heart & bring a sense of peace & love into my life. Your fur baby will be in great hands & will be loved as if they were my own. 🩷 I’m currently home full time so my schedule is very open & flexible. I can provide all my undivided attention & love to your fur baby to ensure that they have the most comfortable & enjoyable stay. I have a very spacious home with two of my own fur babies they’re easy going & very friendly with other cats. If needed I can separate them into different areas of my home.

She has a strong history of working with animals in professional capacity, and has a very good sense of how to bond with any animals she meets. She truly enjoys meeting and interacting with new animals all the time, and should be considered a valuable asset in this role.”

I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking to have a worry free experience!”

13. Timothy K.
About: Have 2 cats (both rescues raised from kittens) and a rescue dog raised from a pup. Love them all and happy to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m retired and a hockey dad, carpool father, chief cook and bottle washer for my family of four. Would be able to work around these responsibilities when caring for your pets. O I would find out the specifics that the pet’s owners were seeking for their pet’s care and provide for them to the owners directives with a lump of love thrown in.

If you ever need to leave your pets at home, you can be sure they are in the best hands.”
