I understand cats

I’ve taken care of friends’ cats, clients’ cats, and my own cats. I’ve experience with both friendly and shy cats, so I understand that cats often like a little bit of time to get to know me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to visit your home and provide the care your cat needs. I have a cat so unfortunately I cannot care for pets in my home. Due to allergies, I can only work in smoke-free homes. Due to safety concerns, I don’t take care of dogs, or cats that live in homes with dogs present at the time of my cat sitting visits, or cats that eat raw poultry (due to avian influenza risk). I also cannot accept appointments where people will be present. Entering a home for cat sitting visits with strangers is a safety concern. I also am unable to administer medications unless they can be mixed into their food. Please feel free to reach out to me when you’re ready to do a meet and greet and book! I unfortunately cannot hold my schedule until we know we are a good fit and the booking is complete. Thank you!

Gretchen was great! Again! In addition to looking after our kitties, she also took care of our plants, fish and ducks. We will definitely keep using her if she is available!!

Gretchen not only took the best care of my baby, but is so considerate and loving. She updated me every day twice a day with pictures, a note and if he went to the bathroom or ate or not. She did litter box scoops, and followed everything to the T! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. SHE IS THE FREAKING BEST. Even wanted to meet my cat beforehand to make sure it was a good fit.

Thank you once again Gretchen for taking good care of my aging kitty Gracie. I appreciate knowing that my girl is being well taken care of while I am away. 🩷
