Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient, loving cat care
Experienced Caretaker 💛 I’ve cared for my own calico cat for over 6 years and she can be a little spicy🌶️✨ so I’m experienced with cats who have strong personalities. I also regularly look after family and friends’ cats, from playful kittens to independent adults so I know how to engage cats with different personalities in a way that is natural and stress-free. More than 1 cat? 🐈⬛ Not a problem! I provide care for multiple cats at no additional cost. My rates cover multiple felines in a household. (Note: for drop-in visits, if the time required to fulfill required tasks exceeds more than 30mins, then a longer visit may be necessary) Quality Drop-In Visits 🏆 Visits are tailored to your cat’s personality, whether that means full-on play sessions, gentle companionship, or quietly refilling food and water like a humble servant. I maintain routines, keep litter boxes clean, and provide enrichment suited to your cat’s style. House-sitting 🏡 I work from home, which lets me offer daytime house sitting, which is perfect for cats who can get lonely and prefer gentle companionship while you’re away. I’ll arrive in the morning and stay through the day, feeding your cats, playing with them, and taking care of litter boxes, with brief breaks for errands or food. I head out in the late evening rather than staying overnight. Understanding Feline Behavior 😸 I volunteer weekly as a colony feeder with OC Community Cats, which has given me strong experience reading cat body language and respecting boundaries. I enjoy learning about feline behavior to better understand what each cat needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Feeding & Tech 🍽️ I’m comfortable following feeding routines, including adding supplements or preparing raw food, and I can give medications mixed into food (though I don’t pill cats). I’m familiar with automatic feeders, fountains, and Litter-Robots so I can help with any cleaning maintenance if needed. Updates & Peace of Mind 📸 I provide regular updates and photos so you can rest easy knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and properly worshipped while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Annie is amazing! It was my first time having her take care of my cats and I highly recommend. My cats are shy and don’t meet very many strangers. They warmed up to Annie right away. She sent me very detailed notes on her visits and lots of cute pictures. I came home to happy and relaxed kitties who had been very well cared for 😊
Would recommend to anyone who needs peace of mind with their cats.
Annie is incredibly responsible, responsive, and caring for our pets. I was genuinely impressed by how well she took care of our cats. She was able to get so many of the specific parts right too, and communicated very well to confirm instructions. She fed our fat cat a little less while making sure the skinny one ate more, she gave meds when needed, and she was also very accommodating and flexible for timing things when one of our family members couldn’t come to take care of the cats. Would highly recommend her.
Annie was awesome! She booked me last minute and was wonderful to the kitties. She sends great photos and is very good at communicating. She even writes very detailed synopses of her visit, making you feel like you’re right there with her. I would absolutely book again.
Annie is a great catsitter - she is communicative, responsible, thoughtful, and kind. It meant a lot to me that she took her time warming up to my skittish calico, Truffles, & I saw that Truffles warmed up to her fast through the photos that Annie had sent. Truffles avoids people easily so for Truffles to be in close proximity to Annie and to bunt her hand speaks volumes about Annie being an approachable and welcoming catsitter. My male cat, Soba, was also happy to be fed treats from Annie. I appreciate Annie’s detailed check-ins and would highly recommend her!
Annie has been the most amazing fur-baby sitter we have had! She not only communicates well but is also detail-oriented, which is deeply appreciated. She is so great with both our rescue cats and bonded quickly with both! Her pictures and videos bring us great joy and we are comfortable knowing we can be away from home without worries. We already booked Annie for our next trip!💖

Schedule
Flexible Schedule💻 I work full-time remotely on weekdays, which allows me to spend extended, attentive time with your cat (Wi-Fi-permitting). I travel between San Francisco and Orange County throughout the year. Typically, I am in San Francisco during the Christmas and New Years season until March.
