Kitty Cat Care and Snuggle Expert!

Hello there! I’m Haleigh. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets cats, you’re in the right place. I’ve spent over twenty years living with and caring for feline friends. I love all animals but cats are my absolute passion. In addition to being a lifelong cat mom, I’ve spent time working as a professional caregiver at a luxury cat hotel and pet sitting through multiple platforms.Through all of that, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to provide top notch care and a little extra pampering for even the most discerning felines. I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who demands endless chin scratches or a shy soul who just needs a quiet, patient presence, I tailor my time to whatever makes them feel safest. I’m also highly experienced in managing different feline behaviors, special needs, specific dietary requirements, and expertly administering medications, including insulin injections. Our pets are family, and leaving them can be stressful. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. When I'm visiting, you can expect: • Personalized love and attention: Plenty of playtime, snuggles, and affection based on your cat’s terms. • A stress-free routine: Keeping your home secure, cozy, and running smoothly. • Keep in touch: Regular photo and video updates, along with open, easy communication so you never have to wonder how they're doing. You can completely trust me to ensure your fur baby stays happy, healthy, and safe. I honestly can't wait to meet them and spoil them a little rotten while you’re gone!

Haleigh was absolutely incredible with my cat Lemon. She has separation anxiety and hates when I go out of town. Haleigh made her feel so loved and taken care of that when I got home she acted like I hadn’t even left her. She went above and beyond. Always sent me updates on their day, was very communicative of her schedule, sent pictures every day. Could not recommend her more. I will definitely be using her again◡̈

Haleigh was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cats and our home, and the frequent photo updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You could genuinely tell from every picture that our cats were happy, relaxed, and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. She also went above and beyond by taking care of household chores and leaving everything spotless when we got home. We’ll definitely be using Haleigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

Haleigh was amazing with our kitty during Christmas week! She followed all our instructions, provided the cutest photos during her check ins, and even left us a hand written note with a Polaroid of our sweet baby. Haleigh will be our primary cat sitter moving forward!! Definitely recommend her!

Haleigh went above and beyond while I was away for the holidays. She gave the best updates, was thorough, kind, and was very tidy staying in my home. She will be my cat sitter moving forward! My cat loved her and I’m sure any others would as well.

Haleigh is the ideal pet sitter. I have gone to her for help many times over several years for cat care, house sitting, and other similar work. She always rises to the occasion and has a deep care and compassion for all living things. She is also a diligent worker and a dependable person all-round. Eager to please, she makes herself readily available and easy to reach. She will love your pets as her own.
