Snacks, Snuggles, & Strolls

Pets are family; I’d 100% fight a crocodile for my cats!🐊 I offer drop-in visits for cats, any kind of birds, be it 🐓 chickens, 🦆ducks, 🦜parakeets, 🐹hamsters, etc., and 🐕small dogs; walks also available. Service area near Woodstock (3 or so mile radius). I usually get around by electric scooter to stay eco-friendly, but I’ve got backup options like a car if needed. I’ve had cats (and many other creatures) my whole life, and I was a volunteer cat socializer at the humane society. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of needs; from rescues to seniors on medication and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine. Meditations: If your cat has a very difficult time with medications, runs and hides, fights/scratches/bites, requires a 2nd person to hold them, cannot guarantee that I'll be able to administer in those circumstances and will have to pass. This is too important to hope for the best. I am very happy to administer oral or injectable medications to kitties very used to the process. 😸 Meals, snuggles, playtime, or just some non-contact company, I’m here to help. I know how much they mean to you; because mine mean everything to me. Ask about the shy kitty special, 10 to 15 minute daily drop ins for the cats who fear strangers. Please be aware that any requests received after 11 pm will not be seen or answered until the next morning. Thank you kindly!

Safety, trust & environment

For safety and planning, I ask that all clients upload a photo and basic info about their pet before booking. I follow your instructions closely, give pets space to warm up if needed, and always keep things calm, clean, and consistent. Their comfort comes first.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Beans. Charles gave Beans his daily medication, sent us lovely updates, and took so many photos. I especially appreciated how thorough he was in all of his messages!
