About Elenore W.
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, we have two tuxedo cats, one who has special needs. They are indoor-only cats, and enjoy cat trees, cat shelves, and daily enrichment.
Information Elenore W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special requirements your cat may need, including medication and/or high energy play, as well as if you have dogs at home that will need care too.
A typical day
I'm happy to play/engage with cats as much as needed, but am mindful of their individual preferences and requirements. I enjoy providing as much affection, play time, or walks as requested.

Pets
Experienced, reliable cat care!
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for cats of all kind, including special needs cat, since my teens, and have also volunteered at local animal shelters. I currently have two tuxedo cats of my own: one with FIV and one high-energy Bengal mix. I’m comfortable providing more involved daily care when needed, and I especially enjoy working with high-energy cats who benefit from structured play and enrichment (including leash/harness walking when appropriate). I'm happy to handle basic dog care alongside cat visits as well, if you have a canine friend at home too!

Reviews
I highly recommend my wife as a cat sitter to anyone. While I may be biased, there is a reason she is my wife and I consider myself very lucky. Elenore grew up with cats and her mother worked as a veterinary technician for a period of time, so caring for animals has always come naturally to her. She also works in science and holds a PhD which shows in how attentive and detail-oriented she is. She has a lot of hands-on experience working in labs, so she can provide an almost veterinary level of expertise when it comes to administering medications and maintaining routines. Ele is quick to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and is very reliable when it comes to monitoring trends and following up on things. She will always err on the side of caution even if it requires extra effort. Beyond her experience, she is an empathetic person who genuinely connects with animals. Cats bring her a great deal of joy and she treats every pet with an abundance of love, patience, kindness, and respect. Our cats have special needs and she’s played a large role in improving their health and maintaining a high quality of life ever since we adopted them. She has a very intuitive understanding of cats and often understands and is able to remedy when they are “misbehaving.” As someone who did not grow up with cats, I can honestly say she is the reason I came to appreciate and love them. There is no one I would trust more to care for a pet.
Warm and compassionate, super responsive and reliable, Elenore is a devoted, loving cat Mom to rescues Rufus and Frankie, with years of experience managing pet health issues in both dogs and cats, and adopting within and supporting the rescue community since she was young. With a gift for quietly instilling trust in every pet she meets (including chickens!) your pet family will love her, and you will too!
