Cats

Availability

I'm a full time professional pet nanny which means I make myself available nearly 24/7. I frequently visit pets twice per day in order to maintain their medication cycle or to visit cats that are accustomed to having social time with their family.

Safety, trust & environment

Being a pet owner myself, safety comes as second nature to me. This includes not only avoiding escapes, but ensuring no toxins or choking hazards are left within reach.

Information Elaine B. would like to know about your pet

Thank you for trusting me with your pup, but I am not currently booking any dog walks. At this time, I am just booking appointments to care for cats.

A typical day

I try to meet your cat where they are at. Does your cat like to play? Game on! I know games they've never played and my favorite are the games we create together! If your cat wants to sit in their tree from across the room and silently judge me, fair enough. I can just hang out so they know they haven't been forgotten. Even curmudgeons need love, some just need it more discreetly than others.

Cat Charmer

Pet care experience

Cat nerd for hire! I love all animals and have spent my life around them. My house is always filled with as many animals as I can care for. Right now I have four cats, two domestic and two feral. I pride myself on being the cat nerd that can charm even the most shy of cats. More clients than I can count have assured me that I probably wouldn't ever see their cat but I generally end up receiving an opportunity to give out a pet or scratch. I've worked at veterinary clinics and have had 15 cats, most that have lived into their teens. I'm familiar with using inhalers on asthmatic cats, injecting insulin, pilling cats, trimming nails, etc. I will talk your ear off about catios so if you are considering one, let me know. I've been an animal rights activist for decades and an ethical vegan for 36 years so if you can't trust me with your critters, who can you trust? I care for pets full time and generally make myself available by text 24/7 as well as early and late evening bookings. I'm well versed in escape artist cats, and parent one of my own. My cats are royalty at home as yours should be in theirs. I am a full time pet caregiver and am generally able to accommodate most schedules. Let's chat and see what times I can help you out. Please note that I require cats to be checked on at least once per day, I do not do every other day bookings. Even if cats do not desire physical touch, they need someone to check their physical well being and to reassure them that they haven't been forgotten. I have an escape artist cat so I'm quite adept at not letting any rascals out that aren't supposed to be. While I think it is often best for the pet to meet me prior to my entry, I realize that isn't always feasible and frankly some pets are cool with any friendly human walking in.

My cats love when I go out of town because auntie Elaine comes over and spends lots of time spoiling them. I trust Elaine with my three kitties who all have individual needs and personalities.

Elaine did a wonderful job! She was very communicative and asked great questions. She and Nova clearly got along, and when I came home, my house was in great condition and so was my cat.
