Pet care experience

Pawsitively purr-fect care!!

Hi there! I'm Amanda, an experienced and dedicated Cat caretaker with 3 feline friends of my own (yes, I also take dog requests). With 31 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I specialize in providing personalized and attentive care to ensure your cat feels comfortable and cherished. I have had cats my entire life and have lived with every unique type of personality, allowing me to handle various needs, from daily feeding, exercise, playtime and grooming to administering medication and managing special dietary requirements. My 3 kitties are everything to me. Spaghetti is 6 and I’ve had since she was 9 weeks! Pulu is 12 years old and the mother of Zeus, my 11 year old baby boy! I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for your furry companion. Whether you’re away for a few days or longer, you can trust that your cat will receive the highest level of care and attention. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your feline friend! I do still take requests for dogs and am experienced and comfortable caring for them. Please note that I am a nanny during the week and sometimes my schedule can change. If your dog cannot be left alone for 6-8 hours, I will not be able to provide the care you seek.

Amanda did a great job caring for our two cats. It was a last minute request and she helped to fit us in. They were cared for so well and happy upon our return. Love working with her!
