With 9 years of experience raising an elderly cat until her final peaceful days at age 17, I am eager to apply what I have learned and appreciate about cat companionship to loving cat parents in need of a helping hand. I am open to cat care of all ages, but do feel a special connection towards senior cats. Whether they prefer their own sunny, cozy spot or prefer to loudly profess their needs and desires to me, I am all in for meeting your cat's needs wherever they are. ❈ Boarding, House Sitting, or single day needs I’m available for the full range of cat-sitting services but particularly enjoy boarding. I primarily work remotely from my quiet, spacious 4-bedroom apartment, and go in-office once or twice a week for about 8 hours a day. I have a large enclosed garden and walking area if your cat enjoys outside time. My intention is to host a comfortable, attuned environment for your pet(s) alone (no pets of my own nor multiple-family sitting) lead by respect and deep listening to your cat's needs. ❈ A Helping Hand When my cat was diagnosed with dementia, I felt lost and confused. I was scared to hire a cat-sitter because of her urgent and particular needs. Years later, I have gathered an abundance of care practices surrounding cat dementia / cognitive decline, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and old age in general. The process of listening and learning alongside my cat was enlightening, and I realized I found my calling. Caring for and helping others care for cats is my favorite thing in the world. Whether your cat needs a day of play or a stable, long-term presence, I am committed to the well-being and joy of our cat companions. ❈ Specializations: • Reading cat body language • Cat training and conditioning • Harness and leashed walk training • Administering oral medications • Managing cat cognitive decline, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease • Crisis management (cleaning vomit, managing panic, etc. First aid training in progress) • Safe and professional vet visits where needed [Rates are flexible, particularly if we make arrangements outside of this platform]
