About: What Sets Me Apart in Pet Sitting Services: ✅ Cat-Centric Experience – Many sitters focus on dogs, but I specialize in feline care. I understand cat behavior, body language, and how to build trust—even with shy or anxious cats. ✅ Personalized Attention – I don’t just “check in”—I engage. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. ✅ Reliable & Communicative – You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I send consistent updates, photos, and even videos, so you stay connected while you’re away. ✅ Medication & Special Care Expertise – Comfortable administering oral medication, eye drops, or specialized care for senior or special-needs pets. ✅ Calm & Trustworthy Presence – Animals (especially cats!) respond best to calm energy and a gentle approach. I pride myself on being a steady, stress-free presence in your pet’s routine. ✅ Respect for Your Home – I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets—leaving it tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it. I currently work full time, 2 off days typically during the week. I can come early in the mornings before work to feed/let dogs out. Then in the afternoon I can come back walk dogs/play with pets and feed them. I do not offer care for pets in my house. I only offer pet sitting at a clients house. Let me know if you have any questions.
