I work full time during the day til 5:00 and am remote 3 days a week (mon, tues, fri), with a compressed workweek that makes it possible to have every other Friday off. M-F I could do an evening visit only, and on days off (every other Friday or weekends) I could do one visit in the morning & one in the evening. Thanks to summer hours at my FT job I am available after 1pm every Thursday through August 28th.

Safety, trust & environment

My cats are spoiled ~ there’s 2 litter boxes, 2 wet food dishes, 2 areas with dry crunchy food, and a water fountain. They get Churu’s or treats every once in awhile. I keep the floors clean so they don’t find some random thing to chew on. So needless to say I would treat your cat like royalty pretty much. 😊

Information Colleen H. would like to know about your pet

It is definitely important to let me know if there are any special needs ahead of time — or what to expect from your pet. For example, if standing up intimidates your pet and sitting on the couch or on the floor helps them feel more open and comfortable. Or if there’s a certain spot where they do not like to receive pets. Etc.

A typical day

I am happy to play with any animal toys provided in your home that will make your pets happy and have a decent quality of life when you are out.

Pet care experience

I have previously worked at a cat shelter (approx 250-300 cats), I have been a cat owner consistently for 21 years, I have sat a “zoo” before ~ dogs, cats, birds, a frog, fish, etc. I love to spend quality time with pets, not just a quick 5 minute drop in. I will happily rub their belly on top of feeding them. I have never, ever met a cat that didn’t like me! Typically the complete opposite & they end up adoring me. 😅
