Pet care experience
Worry-free cat care 🐱🐾
As a pet parent myself, I know all too well the anxiety of leaving your pet/s for a trip and having to trust someone else to look after them. I want to rest your worries and assure you that your furbaby is in great trustworthy hands 😌: I'm a petsitter who specializes in cat care (though I do have experience with dogs and rabbits as well) and have cared for all kinds of cats from my many years of experience doing independent rescues and fosters, as well as helping out at shelters (currently at VOKRA as a medical team volunteer). I've cared for kittens (as young as 4 weeks), adult cats, and older cats — from friendly/playful to shy/scared, and even cats with very strict boundaries. I've learned the best ways to approach all kinds of cats and have become skilled in keeping them happy, relaxed, and entertained (aside from also being able to administer medicine, prepare meals, and clean litter boxes) :) I've always loved cats since I was a child and started caring for cats back in 2015. I have 2 sweet cats of my own, and both are rescues whom I picked up when they were just kittens in the streets of the Philippines. I've also previously cared for and am comfortable with looking after dogs and rabbits.

Safety, trust & environment
Trust is very important to me and I always respect my client's homes during drop-ins. I want to make sure that both my clients and their pet/s can be at ease when I enter their homes.
Ratings and reviews
Charmaine is clearly an experienced cat-sitter. Her communication is excellent. Our shy cats appeared well cared for and even came out to see her during her visits.
My two cats absolutely love Charmaine! She takes extra care to play with them and provide cuddles to keep them happy when we are away. I found Charmaine to always be conscientious and tidy making sure their bowls and litter are always clean. Love getting the drop in updates and pictures to see what they're up to. I will definitely be rebooking, always a fabulous experience.
I’ve used Charmaine several times now for when I go away a few days. She’s very reliable, communicates well and cares very much for my cat Tiggs. I would definitely recommend!
Charmaine took great care of our cats and rabbit. She followed our instructions, meeting the unique needs of each pet. She was thorough and caring, with great communication after each drop-in visit. Even our highly anxious cat warmed up to Charmaine! We will definitely seek out her services again in the future!
Charmaine was great! I received detailed updates and lots of photos each day :) She was flexible in helping with my drop in time requests and my cat was happy and well taken care of.
Always happy when Charmaine is available to watch our cat.

Schedule
I'm self-employed and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can do drop-ins anytime during weekdays and weekends as long as they are scheduled in advance. I work best with flexible schedules or time ranges for drop ins.
