Your Cat’s New Favorite Human
Hey there, Julie at your service! I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud servant to two senior cats of my own, so I understand that every kitty has their own personality, routine, and very strong opinions about how things should be done. I offer drop-in visits in your home, where your cat feels safest and most comfortable. During each visit, I can take care of feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, brushing and grooming, medication, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. Whether your cat wants to chase a toy, curl up for cuddles, or silently judge me from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead. Senior cats have taught me to be patient, gentle, attentive, and respectful of a cat’s boundaries. I know that some cats become instant besties, while others require a formal background check and several business days to approve a new human. I’m highly responsive, dependable, attentive to details, and flexible with scheduling. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and keep you updated throughout each visit. You’ll also receive several photos of your cat every time I stop by, because I know you miss them! Expect a mix of cute portraits, action shots, and possibly one blurry photo of your cat leaving the scene of a crime. My goal is to make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and that you can relax knowing they’re in loving hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Your cat’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, double-check doors and locks, keep food and medications organized, and make sure your kitty has everything they need before I leave. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, or anything else that may seem unusual, and I’ll contact you right away if I notice a concern. I’m also respectful of your home and will treat your space with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. You can expect reliable communication, detailed visit updates, and plenty of photos so you always know how your cat is doing. Basically, I take cat care very seriously, even when your cat is pretending they’ve never been fed before in their entire life.
Ratings and reviews
Julie has always been great with my 2 cats. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about their well-being. Julie does an amazing job managing their specific routines to make sure each of them is safe, comfortable, and gets the attention they need. She always makes sure they have fresh food and water, keeps the litter box clean, and spends time making sure they’re happy while I’m away. One thing I especially appreciate is how patient and capable she is when it comes to giving my cat medication—she handles it calmly and confidently, which gives me so much peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable cat sitter.
I’ve known Julie for years, and one thing I can say without hesitation is that she absolutely loves cats. She’s incredibly caring, detail-oriented, dependable, and the kind of person I completely trust with my cat, Purrcy. She takes the time to follow instructions carefully, pays attention to the little things, and makes sure the cats in her care feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very particular about who I trust with Purrcy, and I would feel completely comfortable leaving him in Julie’s care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Julie was absolutely wonderful with my very shy cat, Dinah. I was nervous about leaving her because she usually hides from anyone new, but Julie was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding. She took the time to let Dinah warm up at her own pace and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for during every visit. Julie also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter, especially if you have a shy or timid pet!
Julie has been an empathetic and emphatic cat lover the entirety of the 25 years that I've known her. I've seen firsthand the care and attention she provides to her own cats and have heard nothing but positive feedback from the owners of cats she's cared for. She's cared for her own cats into their elderly years and provided care for their special needs as they aged. And she pays as much attention to their well being and quality of life as she does the health needs of her elderly cats. I would trust no one more with my own two cats than Julie.
Julie has taken wonderful care of my three cats—Angel, Nigel, and Frankel—and I trust her completely with them. Nigel has special needs and requires a very specific feeding routine, and Julie has always been patient, attentive, and meticulous in following his care instructions. What really impressed me is that Frankel, who is usually very antisocial and keeps his distance from almost everyone, has developed a special bond with her and genuinely enjoys her company. It’s clear that Julie has a natural connection with animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your cat’s usual routine whenever possible. Whether your kitty expects breakfast at sunrise, dinner at a very specific hour, or a midday check-in to confirm they still run the household, I’ll do my best to accommodate their schedule. I’m available for weekday and weekend drop-in visits, including both occasional care and recurring bookings. I’m highly responsive and understand that travel plans can change, so I’ll always try to be as flexible and helpful as possible. Every cat has their own routine, and I’m here to keep things feeling familiar, calm, and consistent while you’re away.
