About: Hi there! A little about me, I’ve had 3 family cats throughout my childhood, one long haired Maine Coon mix, and 2 male tabbies. I currently have 2 cats (Phoebe and Cashew) that my girlfriend and I have together. They were both adopted as kittens and are domestic shorthairs. I love my cats so much and I can’t wait to meet yours! My friends and family come to me to watch their cats while they’re away and I have proven to be a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. I have loved cats my whole life and give every cat I watch the time, attention, and love they deserve! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule that can allow me to watch your cats during the work day :) I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care during the work day! I am happy to work with you to meet your pets’ needs! I love my cats like they’re my children! I believe cats deserve enriching lives full of attention and love. I prioritize the care of my own cats and will do the same for yours :)
“Highly recommend!! Colleen was attentive to my cat going the extra mile to make sure she was happy and very we cared for. I can’t imagine leaving my cat or any other pet in better hands!”
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work M-F as a nurse but I’m usually done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊

“If you’re looking for someone to care for your cat like it’s her own, look no further than Emily. She takes her role as a cat mom incredibly seriously and has been around cats her whole life. She’s not just loving and attentive— she’s also knowledgeable and proactive when it comes to feline health.

How lucky was I to find Eve, 🍀 While we were away she took excellent care of our cat, she provided updates, pictures and videos after each visit She coaxed him out of hiding and spent time with him during each visit I would highly recommend Eve and plan on using her again when we go away.
