"God made the cat to give man the pleasure of stroking a tiger." (Francois Joseph Mery). I have enjoyed being friends with, and giving homes to my cats for more than 40 years. Some of my friends have cats or dogs, and trusted me to care for them in their homes during getaways. I have always been an animal lover, especially cats, dogs, and horses. I understand how important exercise, play, petting, and respect for personal space are to them. As a sitter, I will always work hard to make your furry friends feel safe and happy. I have been a sitter to 2 rescue poodle breeds for a close friend and her husband. Fed, walked, and played. The poodles were always happy to see me. Another friend had 2 domestic shorthaired cats and a labrador...same care, same licks and tail wags upon my arrival.
