Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient Care for Cats of Every Age
I have many years of personal experience caring for cats, including senior cats and cats with chronic health conditions such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. My experience includes following detailed feeding and care routines, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring appetite and water intake, maintaining clean litter areas, and watching for changes in weight, energy, behavior and bathroom habits. I have also helped one of my own cats recover from a wound that required consistent cleaning, prescribed topical treatment and close monitoring. That experience reinforced the importance of patience, careful attention and following care instructions consistently, even when a cat is less than thrilled about the process! Caring for senior and special-needs cats has taught me to recognize subtle behavioral changes and respect each cat’s individual comfort level. Some cats welcome immediate affection, while others need time and space to build trust. I never force interaction, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully while adapting my approach to the pet’s personality.

Safety, trust & environment
Before a first booking, I prefer to meet the pet and review feeding instructions, medication routines, emergency contacts, veterinarian information, entry procedures and any household safety concerns. I follow written care instructions carefully, I will never force interaction with a nervous pet. I'll confirm that doors and entry points are secured, and provide photos and detailed updates after each visit.
Ratings and reviews
My name is Chrissy Leitch. I would like to give a Testimonial for Ms. Arlana Smith. Arlana has been a dear friend of mine for over twenty years. She would care for my elderly cat if needed and give her the medications that she required in a daily basis. I hated to leave Miss Kitty and would not entrust her to many people, only family. Arlana has come to my ‘personal’ rescue on many occasions as well. I am a senior and Arlana has helped me with technical systems and issues that were a little too complicated for me to figure out. Atlanta is the kind of person that many people depend on. She is a treasured friend of mine and our community. You would be very fortunate to secure her services. Thank you, Chrissy Leitch
Arlana, has always had a loving heart for pets, she will be an extraordinary, loving & trustworthy petsitter. You & your pets will not be disappointed.
I had a family emergency earlier this year and had to go out of town abruptly. I called Arlana and she not only came and took care of my cats and dogs, she ordered their food for them to help me out. Now every time she comes around my dogs flip out with excitement. I actually think they might love her more than me. Haha. She’s a very sweet, kind soul. The cats can sense it and snuggle with her. You’d be lucky to have her take care of your pets. I know I am!

Schedule
My schedule is currently flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits based on availability. I keep my service area intentionally small so I can arrive reliably, spend the full scheduled time with each pet and avoid overbooking.
