Experienced cat loving couple

Pet care experience

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. (Checkout our foster instagram @the_little_rascalz for adoptable cats). 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!

Colleen and Sachi were wonderful with our two cats! They are both lovely, kind people and took great care of our boys. We will definitely book with them again!

Wow! Colleen and Sachi were beyond incredible with my boys. I just moved to the area and was anxious to leave my boys alone. I’m so grateful to have found these two. It’s clear that they’re animal lovers and that the animals love them back! Even my shyest cat came out for them! They provided detailed information from their check-ins and plenty of pictures to help keep me connected! Can’t wait to use them again and can’t recommend them enough!!! 😸💛

Colleen & her partner were absolutely amazing pet sitters. Each day we got great photos of them playing together & a detailed update on our cat's behavior. The difference in our cat's demeanor when we returned home from vacation was astounding - in the past we've had friends feed him, but they were not meeting his social or play needs and were not "cat people", so he'd always be a bit down. Not this time! It's clear they can read cats very well and kept him happy and entertained. I will always check to see if Colleen is available when booking any travel going forward!

Information Colleen D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything I need to know before sitting for your let. I prefer to work with well trained dogs as I have had negative experiences with anxiety prone/un trained big dogs and will not be pet sitting if your dog is like this. We LOVVEEE to work with any type of cats.

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.
