It’s good to know your cats temperament and how they react to strangers, as well as any quirks they might have. Any health conditions are also important to be aware of.

After the basics, food, water, litter etc. are taken care of I always care of your cats social, mental, and physical needs through playtime, snuggling (for the kitties who enjoy it!) or even just being nearby!

I love cats!

Cat care experience

Hi! I think cats are some of the loveliest and most interesting creatures on our planet and I’m ready to make friends with your kitties! I’ve spent my entire life around cats, and I love how individual each cat is, (even when they are tapping into the cat hive-mind!). I have experience for several years taking care of cats, including cat-sitting for professors in college and now having two kitties of my own for the past couple years. I have a flexible schedule and would love to meet your cats! I know that traveling away from your pets can be a stressful time for both you and them, so I’m here to take care of their daily needs while providing some socialization and playtime! I love that every cat is different and I love to follow their cues to keep them comfortable and safe. (No, I won’t keep petting your overstimulated cat). I’ve spent a lot of time learning about cat behavior and how to keep these little guys safe and what red flags to keep an eye out for healthwise. I don’t give out any food or treats that aren’t approved, and will follow your instructions, as you know your cat best! As a bonus you’ll get plenty of updates and pictures of your kitty so you can travel worry free. I’ll also be available for the remaining holidays of 2024. I can’t wait to hear from you!

Emily was great! We were out of town for the weekend and needed someone to check in our cat. She was very communicative, prompt, played with him, and made sure his set up was good while we were away. Would definitely use again!
