Safety, trust & environment

Being a pet parent, I understand how important it is to know your pet is well taken care of while we have to be away. As your cat sitter I will stick to your specific feeding routine and litter schedule, replenish water, and will make sure to give your kitty playtime/pets/scratches once they feel comfortable with me. While you are gone longer than one day, I can also: Bring in the mail/packages Take garbage to the curb for pickup and return receptables after Leave on/rotate lights so home looks occupied Open/close curtains or blinds Wash food and water bowls Water plants Just ask! Medication: I am comfortable administering oral vaccinations as three of my previous pets took medications daily If you ever have questions/concerns during your time away don't hesitate to reach out via text or call. I absolutely love making new animal friends and getting to know their unique personalities. Can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Information Alex J. would like to know about your pet

Their schedule and routine. Do they like cuddles and pets, are they active and like to play, how are they with new people, what are their likes and dislikes and favorite activities. Does their appetite change when you are away?

A typical day

Your cat has an automatic feeder I will typically pet and play with them at the beginning of the visit. Then I will check waters and clean litters and give any medication as needed before I leave.

Alex was great with my two cats! She was reliable and sent detailed updates and pictures twice daily. She gave them food, made sure the water fountain was full and scooped both litter boxes. She played with them, gave pets and scratches, and brushed them as well. She went above and beyond to get to know them and understand each cat. She was patient with my scardy cat Milo. It was such a relief to be able to feel at ease, knowing she was there caring for my cats. Both were happy and content when I got home. I highly recommend Alex and would definitely use her again to watch my two cats.

We always enjoy the opportunity to have Alex as our pet sitter. She is very kind, caring and an animal person. I’m always at peace when she is taking care of my kitties.
