Safety, trust & environment

I take the time to learn what makes each cat feel safe, whether that means engaging in interactive play or quietly sitting nearby. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of boundaries, and I adjust my approach based on what your cat is communicating. My goal is to make each visit a positive, low-stress experience for your pet.

Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

If your cat requires extra care or attention, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated throughout each visit. I take the time to understand your cat’s routine, triggers, and comfort zones, and I’m always patient and gentle in my approach.

A typical day

A typical drop-in visit includes fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on your cat’s personality and preferences. I’ll greet your cat calmly, give them time to warm up if needed, and check in on their overall well-being. If they’re playful, we’ll spend time with toys and enrichment. If they’re more reserved, I’ll respect their space while still making sure they feel seen and safe. I also send updates and photos after each visit so you know how everything’s going while you’re away.

Trusted Cat Caregiver

Pet care experience

I offer drop-in visits for cats and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’ve spent years helping friends and neighbors with their cats and have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust while you’re away. Whether your cat needs playtime, quiet companionship, medication, or just a clean litter box and fresh food, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for. I’ll work with you to understand exactly what your cat needs to feel safe and comfortable in their own space!

Jennifer has taken care of my cats multiple times and I can’t say enough good things about her! Even my cat who is very shy ended up loving her. She goes above and beyond and is excellent at communication. Highly recommend. Thanks again!

The fact that I don't have to be anxious and worry about my cats when I'm out of town is priceless and rare I can't say enough good things. Thank you Jennifer, truly you're the best.
