Katie can care for

Cats

Availability

I currently work full-time, so I can do morning and evening weekday drop ins. Mornings are more location dependent than evenings, but reach out and let's see if we can make it work! I have availability through out the weekend. I have a car, so I can visit kitties that may be a bit farther away.

Safety, trust & environment

One of the reasons I love cats is because they do what they want when they want to. With that knowledge, I follow their cues and go at their pace. However, if there is a situation where they need something (like medication) and they aren't cooperating, I know how to safely handle them. I will care for your cats like they are mine for the time you are away!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your kitty has any favorite hiding places in case they disappear during a visit. I also like to know what may spook your cat so I can be prepared and help them stay calm and comfortable while you are away.

A typical day

I've got a favorite laser pointer and Cat Dancer wire toy that come with me to visit kitties. Of course, if your cats have a favorite toy, we'll play with it too!

Let Me Spoil Your Kitties!

Pet care experience

I know how hard it can be to leave your feline family behind when you travel. My goal is to provide you with a sense of calm knowing that your pets are being cared for by someone who has spent her whole life around cats. I currently have 4 cats, and I'm always ready to meet more! And as a multi-cat household, I am pleased to offer a discount to owners with 3 or more cats--the more the merrier! I've spent the last dozen years volunteering with local rescue organizations, and I spend my spare time volunteering with Project Meow in West Philadelphia. I have significant experience with medicating cats from both my volunteer experience and having senior cats with health issues. From administering pills to asthma treatments and injections, I am comfortable giving cats what they need to stay healthy.

Katie took fantastic care of our cat. She went above and beyond, providing food, scooping, play and pets -- all with very thorough documentation and updates.

Katie does an amazing job taking care of my cats and their needs. I love the reports she gives, they're funny and really helpful. She's also great at communicating any time conflicts or issues that arise.

Katie is absolutely wonderful, I got super thorough reports on my cat every day and so many great photos. Definitely the best experience I’ve had through Rover, and made it a little easier to be away from my little guy. Thank you, Katie!!
