Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

Once I locate the cat, I’m quick to clean the litter box, feed them, replenish water, and give out treats so that we can play and have some social interaction. I might just have a few toys with me!

Information Colleen H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know their behavior and temperament, how they are around new people, any medications they may need, their favorite toys, and if they like any treats!

A typical day

I will always follow the cat’s lead. While I love to give pets and cuddles I will never cross their boundaries! I always find that cats love to play with strings on a stick and bat around springs and balls. Let me know if your cat has a favorite toy!

Cat care experience

I’ve owned and taken care of my cats nearly my whole life. Because of that, I’m well versed in all things that come with taking care of one such as working on a feeding schedule, cleaning and refreshing the litter box, making sure they’re hydrated, and of course spending a lot of time playing!

Colleen was AMAZING! Our cats were so well taken care of and so happy. She communicated very well with us and sent so many photos. Would 100% use her again!

Colleen left our house spotless and both cats well cared for. We got lots of photos and updates and could relax while out of town knowing that they were being well looked after.

Colleen was amazing with Louie! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Louie was comfortable and well cared for with her. I would absolutely trust Colleen to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Colleen took great care of my kitty! She even brought her own toys so they could play. My normally shy cat seemed outgoing and affectionate immediately after meeting her. I highly recommend this sitter!
