Safety, trust & environment

I will provide the care to your cat that I expect with my own cats. I will provide you with peace of mind that your cat and house are in good hands while you are away. I am very attentive to my own cats. I am respectful, patient, organized, and have very good attention to detail. At the end of each visit, I will send photos and plenty of detail about the visit.

Information Ellyn C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your cat has special needs or needs adaptations ahead of time. Whether it be a limp, impaired vision/hearing, age, breathing issues, congestion, medications, unusual bathroom habits, etc. Also, any concerns you would like me to be aware of which I could relay details back to you each visit. I will also ask who your primary vet is or what ER you prefer. Lastly, is your pet an escape artist or likes to munch on certain things that they shouldn't when they're bored. I've seen it all, I'd like to know. No detail is too much 😺

A typical day

I enjoy playing with my cats and I know how important it is to engage cats in playtime as long as they are interested. I will offer your cats attention such as pets and affection. Teaser toys, balls, and laser pointers are always fun to offer. Every cat is unique and has their own preferences, so if they just want me to sit quietly nearby without petting or playing, that is ok too. I will happily offer a calm presence during my drop-in. I am also happy to help groom your cat with your permission and as long as they are happy with it.

Cat care experience

I love cats and cat sitting and I know how important quality care is! I have two cats of my own and I will treat your cats with the care and respect I expect for my own cats. Cats aren't just pets, they're family! My current cats are young and healthy, but I previously had a sick with special needs, elderly cat. I have experience giving multiple medications including tablets and liquids, subcutaneous fluids, and providing any additional care that goes along with an aging or sick cat. I adjust each visit to the cat's needs and interests. Every cat is unique and has a different personality. Some cats are shy and like to hide. For those visits, I will check to see where the cat is, make sure they are ok and then go about the visit dispensing food, refreshing water, and scooping the litter. For the remainder of the visit, I may simply sit quietly to let the cat know that they are being cared for. If the cat is social and active, I will say hello in whatever way the cat greets me. I will do the tasks of the visit (food, water, litter) and then offer playtime, pets, and cuddles. If provided, I can offer treats at the end of the visit. In addition to the routine tasks, I will clean up around the litter box if litter is scattered about and I will also clean food or water bowls. I may ask if the cat likes or is good with grooming. With permission, I can offer nail trimming or brushing as long as the cat is happy with the activity. If you have additional requests for your cat, I will happily accommodate!

Ellyn watched my cats for 5 days and she was fantastic. My cats loved her - coming out to play and see her each day. Her recaps are hilarious and informative. One of my cats was on medication right before and she was very flexible as we waited to see if Olive would still be on meds while I was gone. We will be sure to use Ellyn again in the future!
