Jan can care for

Cats

Availability

I am a retired and active senior. So, I am flexible. I am available any day between about 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. I weave my other commitments in with my cat sitting commitments. I am a friendly, reliable and playful cat sitter available to cat sit in the Sacramento area. That is a large area and I try to keep my commute time to about 30 minutes to and from a cat sitting appointment. I will commute longer for an overnight visit. That area generally covers Natomas, West Sacramento, Midtown, East Sacramento, Curtis Park, Elmhurst, upper Land Park, McKinley Park and the Rio Linda area. Feel free to check with me about your area, if you have any doubts.

Cat care experience

I have lived with and cared for my own and family cats most of my life. I have learned many ways to give cats oral medications and I have given my cat subcutaneous vitamin B12 injections. I volunteered with a cat rescue where I fostered kittens and adult cats … some with health issues and some with behavioral issues. I have also volunteered cat sitting for friends in the past.

My wife and I truly love our cats, and they are very precious members of our family. Leaving them in someone else’s care is not something we take lightly, so finding Jan was such a blessing. Jan cared for our cats for 4–5 days, and from the very beginning we felt completely at ease. Our cats responded wonderfully to her, which says a lot because they are usually very particular about new people. Jan clearly has a natural connection with animals and treated them with genuine love, patience, and care. One thing we especially appreciated was the daily pictures and updates she sent us while we were away. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our cats were happy, safe, and well cared for. We trust Jan 100% and would not hesitate to hire her again in the future. If you are searching for someone reliable, trustworthy, responsible, and truly loving toward cats, I highly recommend contacting Jan and meeting with her to see if she is the right fit for your pets.

Jan is a dedicated, knowledgeable, conscientious animal lover as well as a kind and reliable person in general. I've known her for more than 25 years (I'm her husband!) She's cared for our pets and for others we fostered when she volunteered for a shelter. She's always been committed to their well-being, providing lots of loving attention, proactive veterinary care, the best of food, and the best living conditions she can. She learned to administer medications when that was necessary and has educated herself on pet health issues so as to spot warning signs of illness early. I don't know anyone I'd be happier to have care for any animal I loved. Even if she wasn't my wife I'd want her to take care of my pets when I wasn't around.

Jan is one of the best and most trustworthy people whom I have known for decades, as both a colleague and friend. Jan has cared for many people’s cats, young and old, with all kinds of personalities. She is highly familiar with cat behaviors, and knows what they need. Whenever we’re together, our conversations often turn to our favorite cat stories, full of endearment and laughter! She cared for our elderly kitties on many occasions and took excellent care of them, as well as keeping a good eye out for the security of our place when we were out of town. Also, Jan is an intelligent, thoughtful, great communicator. Hands down, you can have peace of mind when Jan is watching over your home and your fur babies.
