I specialize in Cat Care!
Pet care experience
I exclusively specialize in cat care! I am a true cat person at heart and always have been. I've had my cats/kids for 14 years now, and have been working with cats for even longer. I have also spent time working with our local veterinarian. This is what I love to do! I work with cats of all ages, but also specialize in older cats, and those with pre-existing conditions. I have a lot of experience administering injectable medications as well as oral medications in the most gentle and anxiety free way. I also have experience with cats that are a little more ornery/un-friendly, or very shy. I am extremely gentle with my approach, and understand that a kitty must come to you, instead of the other way around. I can always ensure and absolutely guarantee that your cat will be in great hands, and I will treat them like my own! I promise your cat and I will become great friends in no time :). All of the cats that I care for and their parents become like family. My goal is for you to have peace of mind, and feel like you can easily relax while away from your little one in my care. My success rate is 100% in this area! I have experience and knowledge, but also, cats just really like me! I am currently self-employed and am very flexible with my time! I have availability 7 days a week, the hours of 8 AM to 8PM. I currently have a 2 cat household. Completely cat-proofed. Lots of space to roam and play. Multiple litter boxes available throughout the house, any toys galore. I have a very flexible schedule and am always happy and to work with my pet parents on scheduling and drop in times! My goal is to help prevent and reduce your kitties anxiety by keeping them in their happy and consistent routine. I have a reliable vehicle, so weather rain, snow or shine, I will be there for your fur baby. I will bring a variety of toys, treats and entertaining games to play with your kitty (with your permission). I always bring a change of clothes with me in case your kitty is sensitive or offended by other animals scents.
Reviews
Cara did a great job watching our cats while we were away for a few days. She’s very responsive, took time to play with my kitties, and had great updates while we were away. The cats also seemed happy to have her around as well!
Cara took such wonderful care of my elderly cat. My home was also well cared for and smelled clean and fresh when we got home. This rarely happens with pet sitters on week long trips. She is a gem!
Cara was an excellent pet parent during our 10 day trip, looking after our 4(!) very skittish kitties. We got daily updates and pictures and she made sure they had proper food, water, and litter, and helped bring in some packages and save our poor Roomba. Great communications and service, would book again!
No one better!

Information Cara R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know everything about your kitty! Favorite things, usual habits, also uncommon behaviors (their safety is of my highest priorities). Every cat has such a different personality and they usually know exactly what they like!
A typical day
I always start my visit on the ground to get on their level. I talk to them softly and use the butterfly eye technique. I let them know I'm safe and a friend. I will always include play time in our visit, and bring a variety of toys (if that's what they like).
