Full-time Cat Momma

Cat care experience

So my life basically revolves around cats!😋 I currently have two boys of my own- Graw and Pancake🫶🏻 I've lived with, "owned" (oh please, they own you! 😹) and loved cats for over a decade. As l've been pet sitting these past couple years, l've become very passionate about wanting to make a career in working with cats🙂 I'm currently focused on cat-sitting full time, and do Instacart in my downtime to stay available. When I'm not working, I'm reading about cats, volunteering with rescues like the CNY Cat Coalition and CNY SNAP, and of course hanging out with my own cats😻 I have big plans for the future too- like owning my own company, having cozy boarding facilities, maybe even a cat cafe! I did try to warn you that I'm a crazy cat lady😹

Jennifer cares for my cats beyond her duties of making sure they are fed and watered. She truly cares about their well-being and brings them toys so they feel less distress while I'm away. I truly appreciate this level of care!!!!

Jennifer is always so amazing! She brings our cat treats and toys and so good with playing and taking care of her. We always appreciate her and feel comfortable with her taking care of our cat when we need a sitter !

Safety, trust & environment

As every cat is different, my approach is to take things at their speed always. I’ll gladly play, snuggle, provide chin scratchies, etc! But I respect their boundaries and will even work with them to come out of their shell:) I bring around a goodie bag of toys, treats and catnip so you know we’re in for a good time (heehee!) No matter what, I’m there for them basically as an emotional support human while their family is away:)

Information Jennifer V. would like to know about your pet

The more info the better! I’ll need to know feeding instructions and medications if needed. Do they have allergies/can I bring treats from home? Any places they aren’t allowed, spots they don’t like touched, favorite toys, typical hiding spots.. Any details you want to provide, I’ll happily read it all!😊

A typical day

Each visit I grab any mail, greet the babies, tend to food and water, clean litter if needed, check for any messes, recover “lost” toys lol..😋 After the necessities, all attention is on the babies! We can play with their favorite toys or things that I bring over (laser pointer, tunnels, scratchers, toys etc 🙂) I’ll pet them, give chin scratchies, even put on relaxing music if I think it’ll help🤗 I’ll groom them if they enjoy that (or need it). I’ll open the window and we can watch birds, I’ll put on cat tv.. or I’ll just sit at a distance and talk casually if they don’t like the attention! I get to know each particular cat to provide the best possible care:) I want them as comfortable and entertained as possible!🫶🏻

Availability

My top priority is cat-sitting, and I need to be available for when I’m needed!:) Everything else that I do (Instacart, volunteering, gym, chores, whatever!) lets me remain flexible to be there when you need me!:)
