Pet care experience
Your Cat's 2nd Favorite Human
Hello Cat Pawrents! My name is Dixie, and I am a caring godparent to two cats in the Bay Area. My cat experience consists of the following: - Pet care (I will provide optimal attention to detail on your behalf ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) - Oral and Topical administration of drugs (I understand the importance of adhering to medication schedules) In the past, I have: - House-sat multiple cats and kittens - Nursed a cat with a chronic UTI back to health - Provided extra litter-cleaning to match the cat's needs - Dropped in on cats while providing them with 100% attention and leaving the place in the same or better condition - Ensured cats with high anxiety and low appetite were given the proper care and attention to unwind and eat - Ensured curious cats did not get into anything they shouldn't be in by keeping human food up, away, and in pet-proof containers - Provided a safe and inviting environment to ensure shy cats can open up and rely on me while pawrents are away - Provided an optimal number of pictures and videos of cats while pawrents are away

Ratings and reviews
We are thankful for having met Dixie and for her expertise in handling two elder dogs. One who is usually very anxious when we leave took to Dixie with no problem. Looking forward to future sitting from Dixie. Thank you so much and we felt our furry family members were in good hands.
Dixie is our go-to care giver whenever we're away from home. Our cat likes her very much, and we surely enjoyed our vacation worry-free!
Our fur babies love Dixie! She goes above and beyond any other sitter
Dixie was the sweetest and sent tons of pictures and videos! We hope to hire her again soon!
Dixie did a great job caring for our cat, Mango. She was very organized and on time every day. She sent us pictures and videos of our cat as well as his bowls (showing how much he ate ) and a checklist of the tasks she completed during her visit. There were no issues. Thanks for being so caring and reliable!
Second time with Dixie, she is amazing. Very thorough, we feel super relaxed when she is watching our cat and dog.
