The Purrrfect Cat Petsitter!
Pet care experience
I've been a cat owner/cat parent since I was a teenager. I had a diabetic cat for six years who required twice a day insulin injections. I'm the kind of person who goes to a party and hangs out with the cat (if there is one). I volunteered for two years at an animal shelter, socializing cats to make them more adoptable.
Reviews
Dawn is the cat sitter of your dreams. Regular updates, pictures, and care for your little one. I have no worries with Dawn. Thanks so much!
Dawn was very communicative and made sure I knew that my cat was eating each day. Even though my cat is a bit skittish and didn’t make an appearance for Dawn, Dawn made sure I knew her food was being filled and her water bowl was flowing. She showed up consistently and on schedule each day.
Thank you Dawn! You took such good care of Mini. We all know that cats are particular but I knew she took to you right away. She welcomed your pets and you were able to get her out to play. Thank you for the pictures every day and ensuring she was getting fed just the way she liked.
Dawn is great! Very communicative and a definite cat person. My two cats immediately approached Dawn when we had our meet-and-greet: a rare but important sign! Over our vacation we got updates on each visit with pictures, and I felt like my cats were in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety is my first priority! I take the utmost care to make sure your pet adheres to the "house rules" of your home.
Information Dawn H. would like to know about your pet
For cats, info on their personalities is helpful. Are they more introverted or extroverted? What's their favorite toy? What are their preferences at meal time? Please make sure you have an updated profile on your pets including all medications so that I can effectively assess my ability to care for your beloved pets before accepting the role of being your catsitter.
A typical day
A typical day spent catsitting involves reading the cat's body language and behavior to determine how much interaction they want. At feeding time, if the cat runs and hides I'll try some gentle coaxing. If the cat wants to be petted or a lap to sit on, or is ready for some play time, then hooray! I'll devote plenty of time to socializing with your kitties.

Availability
For overnight visits, please select the "Housesitting" option. This will book me from evening to morning, typically 7 PM to 7 AM the next morning. If you'd like me to also stay during the day in additon to overnight, please select a "drop in" visit for the daytime and I'll stay during daytime hours as well. I don't charge for extra cats. My typical 24/7 rate is $80/day. I make my own hours as a freelance copywriter, telecommute, and am available any time. I'm married and don't have children so I'm available to housesit while my husband takes care of our own precious princess, Ladybug.
