Pet care experience

Great with shy animals

I've had cats literally my entire life. Volunteered at a shelter where I met my big cat and was chosen to be his human. Great with the more shy or aggressive animals from my shelter days. Very used to giving oral or topical medication. I often babysit for a family that had an older lab, a new puppy, and two semi-aggressive cats.

Safety, trust & environment

Both of my cats are indoor only with plenty of objects to climb or jump on. Because my big boy came to me with a nasty wound, I'm used to dealing with cats that can't be around sharp edges, as that's how I still keep my home.

Karen always does a great job taking care of our cat Addison. She sends lots of pictures and notes, and keeps track of any behavior changes. We'd love to hire her again.

Karen is a great help to us and takes excellent care of our cat Addison. She sends notes and photos at each visit, and notices if anything seems different with Addison's behavior or health. We definitely look forward to hiring her again.

Please let me know if you pet has any special needs, is reactive, toy or food aggressive. Would prefer to meet prior to the first visit if so so I can make sure your pet gets the best care for them.
