After 21 years working in social services supporting adults with disabilities and mental health issues I’ve left the field and do cat sitting. This has changed my life!

About Courtney B.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I’m known in the rescue I volunteer with as being especially good with shy/scared/feral cats. I give them lots of play time to break through their fear and win them over so they can get some love. Churu tubes are always a win as long as the kitties don’t have allergies. I ensure feeding and medical schedules are followed and make suggestions on things that can be done to prolong a healthy cat life or ways to enrich the environment for them. Things like, adding water to wet food as felines don’t drink nearly enough. Tools that can be used to redirect cats that scratch up furniture so they use their trees, scratch pads, etc. I promote healthier and more environmentally sustainable litter options that maybe cat people aren’t aware of. Certified in surrender prevention I can offer consultations for undesirable behaviours (litter box/aggression issues, etc)

Information Courtney B. would like to know about your pet
For the cats I care for, it’s important to know their feeding schedule, diet, medications they may require/dosages and times, their likes and dislikes, if they have any allergies or any special needs. Any particular behaviours they may have that are typical for them. (Hunger strikes after day 3, sometimes had blood in feces but takes certain medications, etc)
A typical day
I’m here for cats, so a typical day involves cleaning water and food bowls, giving them fresh water, feeding dry kibble and wet food with added water. Administering required medications and checking over the cats’ body to ensure there are no sore/dirty areas that need tending to. If any wounds or tenderness is present, I clean the area and assess whether they should be seen immediately or if an appointment can be made for a vet visit within the next 3 days. Give a thorough brushing, clip nails if needed. I then clean the litter boxes, give them a wash if needed. Look for messes and clean them up. Play time can include throwing the ball or springs (2 of my own cats play fetch) laser pointer play, wand toys or interactive toys. Cuddles include head kisses, paw pets, belly rubs if tolerated, chin and neck scritches. Repeat play time in the afternoon. Repeat full morning routine at night.

Cat care experience
I’ve cared for many kitties since I was a kid. Caring for sick cats, administering medications, socializing shy/scared/feral cats and giving them all the love they deserve is what I live for. I volunteer with a local cat rescue and also foster for them. I’m passionate about providing enrichment for indoor cats and guiding cat parents who may be having difficulties with behavioural kitties.
Reviews
We are really fortunate that Courtney was available and could accommodate our last-minute request. She opened her arms to our cats and communicates effectively. Her love for all animals is apparent, and I am glad she has so much experience.
Courtney is absolutely amazing. My cats are always well taken care of and she goes the extra mile to make sure they get lots of cuddles and care.
Courtney is always a gem. She always take care well of my kitties. She does extra as well swept floors, shoveling etc. I always have a peace of mind when I ask her to take care of my kitties as I know they are in good hands. :)
Courtney is an amazing cat sitter she truly care about the wellbeing of my furry friends. She goes above and beyond and make sure my kitties are well each time she goes. She also look after the house at the same time. Can’t ask for a better cat sitter.
