He had some unexpected medical issues that presented right before we left; she was still willing to watch him and managed all of his meds perfectly.

About: I’m based in the Flint area and have experience caring for both cats and dogs as a pet owner and sitter. I currently have two repeat clients and am looking to expand because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I follow instructions closely and am available for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m currently looking for more stable work, so my schedule is flexible around any appointments I may have. I care for my own cat at home but have a sitter available if I need to be away overnight. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends for check-ins, depending on your needs. I follow instructions carefully because I understand that every pet parent has their own approach to care. I keep a clean space for my own cat and stick to a consistent feeding and care routine. Giving pets love and attention is part of my daily life, and I bring that same care to the pets I sit. I believe trust is key because our pets are family.

“Please check out Denise Schultz on Rover.com. Denise saved the life of one of the kittens my mother cat delivered by giving it mouth to mouth resuscitation.
