Pet care experience
Experienced cat loving couple
Hello fellow cat lover!! We are Colleen and Sachi, a young professional couple living in the Quincy Center area. We have 2 cats of our own and have fostered 30+ cats and kittens -- therefore are very experienced with the spectrum of cat behavior and health issues. We always attend cat sits together because, well, 2 cat sitters are better than 1 for the same price, right? For drop ins! In your home, we will talk with you to get a better understanding of your cat's specific needs so that we can have a safe and enjoyable time when we are together. We are detail oriented and will make sure to follow all instructions carefully. We are dependable and very conscientious of the trust you give us when you allow us to pet sit for you. We are excellent at giving cats pills and oral medications and are very experienced with shyer cats and will take extra time to get them comfortable with us. We both work from home and have flexible work schedules to fit your cat in. As we have 2 cats of our own, we understand how scary it can be to leave them for vacation. We are responsive to any questions or concerns and make sure to send LOTS of pics and updates. :) We've been able to make great connections with our neighbors through Rover and petsitting and we would love to meet YOU!

Ratings and reviews
Fenn spent the day with Colleen because my apartment was doing a prolonged fire alarm testing while I was at the office. I wanted him to have a safe and quiet place to be. I’m so glad I decided to do that. I got two pictures and Colleen communicated with me throughout the day. I know he received loving care and would definitely leave him in her care again and highly recommend her.
Always takes the best care of our girlies 💕
Thank you, Colleen. Another trip I didn’t have to worry about Severus & Percy. It’s such a relief going away knowing they’re being genuinely being cared for. I’ll definitely reach out again soon!
Thanks so much for always taking wonderful care of our girls! Yall are the best
Colleen and sashi are the best! They watched my two cats Crouton and Crumbles. Crouton is normally very shy, but they managed to bring her out of her shell, which is no small feat! Crumbles the crazy cat seemed very happy with all the playtime and pets she got. They kept me updated with cute pictures and messages, which really put me at ease. I really highly recommend them for anyone looking for caring, attentive sitters.
Our kitten had to get an urgent but minor surgery right before the day we had to leave for an important trip. Colleen and Sachi took such amazing care of him! Initially we were really worried about leaving him but the care and updates they provided were very reassuring. Because of the surgery, we also had to add extra visits last minute and they were very accommodating. They both went above and beyond with our new kitten, as they always have with our other cat.

A typical day
For young cats and kittens: it is always fun figuring out which toys will stimulate your kitty to get them to engage in playtime with me—a stranger. For older cats: they are usually content to get their daily dose of love and hang out togethers. Senior cats are the best companions. They usually take longer to eat or need to eat in multiple smaller meals and so we get cuddle and play time in between.
