Cat Mom of 4

Pet care experience

As a cat mom of 4, I am thoroughly experienced with cleaning litter, brushing, feeding and administering oral medication. I however don’t do injections. Any oral form of medication like liquid, pill or powder, I’m perfectly fine with doing and have the most experience with. This goes for dogs as well. Oral medication is just fine for me. I have experience with all sorts of cats from ones that act like dogs, to shy ones, to feisty ones and also elderly ones. I understand that with elderly cats it takes time for them to take their medicine and sometimes need extra focus as well as extra maintenance.

Jori a sweet girl. Chester liked her right from the first day they meet. She has a gentle soul that my boy loves. He has Narcolepsy and needs some one to stay relaxed and be patient with him. I would definitely use Jori again. The Wipf family

Jorie is great with my cat. She’s quick to respond and had no problem adding additional drop in visits days to her schedule when I extended my trip last minute. I feel safe knowing she’s taking care of my cat awhile I’m away

Jorie takes great care of our cats when we’re away! She’s very communicative and always sends us the cutest pictures of them. We recommend her to anybody looking for pet check-ins.

Information Jorie Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any health concerns for your pet(s) so I know what's normal and what's not. Any other diet habits, play habits, or overall behavior's are most appreciated.

A typical day

I'm more than happy to play with your cats and dogs. Whether its inside with their various toys or playing fetch in the yard. I'm willing to take your dogs on walks and bathe them if needed. I will make sure to carefully follow whatever instructions are left for me about your pets eating and walking times.

I also have tons of experience with stray dogs and stray cats. I’ve dealt with plenty of cats who want nothing to do with me and will act extremely territorial. I’ve also dealt with dogs who will bark at me and not let me go near them as they are simply being cautious about not trusting strangers. I don’t take any of these behaviors personally, as to me this makes sense because I’m in their space and they’re just trying to protect it and their safety. The stray mentality is one I have come to understand to a science. If you have a dog or a cat who has trust issues or separation anxiety, I assure you I will be patient and not overstep my boundaries, while trying to let your pet know I’m a safe person to be around.
