Cats

Availability

I am currently in college studying child development, and spend my time training a therapy puppy, going on adventures such as hikes and beach runs, or doing homework! I love animals and playing with pets, so it doesn't even feel like work when I'm with your adorable fur-babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a dog mom to the most goofy but high-maintenance golden retriever and also just adopted a labrador puppy which I am training to be a therapy dog. They are spoiled as can be and I treat them like real babies! I provide pet care that prioritizes comfort and well-being, whether in my home or a client’s. For dogs, I ensure a safe environment with fresh water, regular exercise, and adherence to their feeding schedule. For cats, I create cozy spaces, maintain a clean litter box, and engage them with play while respecting their personal space. I focus on maintaining their routine and ensuring they feel secure and happy while their owners are away.

Information Cait D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their personality, dietary needs, litter box routine, favorite toys, and any health concerns. I also ask about their preferred hiding spots and make sure to have emergency contacts on hand for peace of mind.

A typical day

I create a cozy, stimulating environment indoors with spots by windows for bird-watching and play with feather toys. I let them explore new boxes or hideaways and always respect their space, offering gentle pets and cuddles when they’re in the mood, with treats handy for special moments.

Purr-fect Care When You’re Away!

Cat care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience caring for pets of all ages, including elderly cats and kittens. I have administered shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m comfortable with special medical needs. I also take pride in keeping the house clean and tidy, creating a welcoming environment. Plus, I love giving plenty of scratches and affection, ensuring pets feel loved and happy while their owners are away.

Cait is the best! She’s reliable and takes the time to play with my kitties & even got my shy girl to come out of her hiding spot! 100% will ask her to come next time we go out of town

Cait watched our cat over the Christmas and New Year holidays and was great! She communicated clearly on each task (feeding, litter, etc.) but also gave updates on Nico’s mood and behavior. It was our first time hiring Cait so appreciated the care and consideration! She even went above and beyond to take a photo for an appliance service situation we had while we were away. Look forward to hiring Cait again.
