Pet care experience
Expert Cat, Plant & Home Tending
I’m Janet. I’m a cat enthusiast and a happily retired court reporter, and I moved to Charlotte 28210 from Miami in 1997. When you need someone to care for your fur family, plants or home while you’re away, I would love to be your stand-in! My husband, Kevin, and I started cat and house sitting earlier this year, and we love it! I do the majority of cat drop-ins. Kitten Experience: I have raised orphaned kittens from the tender age of four weeks old, and I understand their unique feeding schedules, energetic play needs, rapid development, and how to gently socialize them into confident, calm adult cats. Senior & Special-Needs Expertise: Having lovingly cared for senior cats—including my sweet girl, Blossom, who lived to age 20, and Disco, my standoff-ish 13-year-old feline of the house—I am deeply familiar with the delicate touch, patience, and routine sensitivities required for aging pets, as well as administering medications in a gentle-handed way. Whether a cat needs space, gentle reassurance, or interactive play, I know how to read their cues to ensure they feel safe and understood on their terms.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize maintaining your fur familiy's exact routine to minimize stress. From feeding schedules and clean litter boxes to administering oral or topical medications, daily plant watering, and collecting mail, I treat your cat(s) and home with total respect. I offer patient, individualized attention—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship—and provide daily photo updates (if you’re down with that) so you always have complete peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Janet and Kevin were dream guests and pet sitters for our cat for over two weeks. They were communicative, kind, and left our house immaculate. We highly recommend them and hope they will sit for us again some time!
Janet and Kevin were great! They were very good communicators and took wonderful care of our cats and house! They reached out with questions and sent updates as needed. They lett the house nice and clean (even cleaner than when we left). We would definitely recommend them to others and hope to have them back to care for our kitties and home again!

Schedule
Because I’m retired, I have a very flexible schedule. Whether providing drop-in visits, administering meds, or spending quality downtime keeping your cat company, I am available to provide specialized care tailored entirely to your cat's usual routine.
- CatsJanet can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- To ensure I give your cat(s) the best possible care, please let me know about any medications, personality quirks, and favorite hiding spots they go to when they feel startled or shy. Please let me know who in your fur family is indoor or outdoor and what I can do to make them feel more comfortable in their surroundings until you return.
