Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat Lovers, Full-Time Care
I grew up with cats and adopted my current cat two years ago. Living with cats of different personalities has taught me how to understand their behavior and create a comfortable, enriching environment for them. What sets me apart: I love keeping cats engaged with interactive play, food puzzles, toys, and enrichment. I’ve even taught my cat tricks like spin and trained him to go on leashed walks! I tailor care to each cat’s personality and routine, whether they love cuddles and play or prefer their own space. Either my husband or I is almost always home to keep them company and supervised. My goal is to give your cat a fun, safe stay while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. For our first 10 customers, your cat will also go home with a Polaroid photo! 🐱📸
Ratings and reviews
Joyce is a truly caring and practical cat parent of Biscuit, her adorable 3-year-old, healthy, active, and handsome feline. Joyce meticulously plans and keeps track of everything, especially when it comes to Biscuit’s diet and any other measures to ensure his long life. She’s always brainstorming new ways to play with Biscuit, which helps him develop cognitively and stay happy. Reed is a responsible and active cat dad of Biscuit. He makes sure to play within the Biscuit’s playtime limits to ensure he gets enough exercise and is always ready to lend a hand when he can. Both Joyce and Reed are amazing cat carers, always ready to go the extra mile in their care. They come up with different strategies and consider Biscuit’s preferences to find the best solutions. I’ve seen Reed and Joyce taking turns doing cat chores or tackling heavier tasks like changing kitty litter without a word. They simply switch off when one of them can’t. Both of them are incredibly aware and respectful of other pet owners’ boundaries. They’re both considerate and love to care for animals in their own unique ways.
Joyce was a very considerate and loving care giver for my cat Sampa. Not only did she take expert care of Sampa in keeping to Sampa's feeding schedule and providing enrichment and entertainment for her, but Joyce would go the extra mile to send me photos of Sampa while she was in her care. Sampa would quickly start making biscuits on and cuddling with Joyce too, if that's not enough proof how much Sampa enjoyed her stay!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a spacious 2,000 sq. ft. two-story home with lots of windows, cozy spots, and places to climb and explore. Either my husband or I is almost always home, so cats have plenty of supervision and company. Cats who are comfortable around other cats can roam freely throughout the house, while our private room offers a quieter, more contained space for those who prefer it. We prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand for cats who will be roaming freely, so everyone feels comfortable. We’ve cared for curious, mischievous cats who love getting into everything, from kitchen trash cans to cords, so we take cat-proofing seriously. We're always open to requests to make sure your cat is safe. Our cat was a stray, so we know how curious and resourceful cats can be! He’s very food-motivated and has taught us to be extra careful about keeping food and anything unsafe out of reach. He’s also friendly with other cats.
Pets
A typical day
I have plenty of toys, food puzzles, and spaces for cats to climb, explore, and nap. Since one of us is almost always home, cats get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’ll tailor our time together to each cat’s personality. Some may enjoy cuddles, playtime, toys, and walks, while others may prefer to relax nearby while I work. I’ll also keep them engaged with food puzzles and enrichment throughout the day. I’ll follow their usual feeding and litter routine and make sure they have a clean, comfortable space to relax. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.
