About Katie T.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I’m detailed in performing care as discussed with you to ensure your cats are happy and healthy while you are gone. Any remaining time during drop-in will be spent playing with cat or giving them attention (whatever they prefer). Unless you request otherwise, I will always spend the full 30 minutes at your home making sure your cat is comfortable even if your cat is hiding. Some cats need a little extra time to adjust so I always take my time and quietly talk to them, play some relaxing music and let them sniff me out from a distance. I find these tasks help cats adjust and can bring a shy cat out of hiding. I want your cat to feel as comfortable as they can with me so I’m best able to care for them and notice any changes while you are gone.
Information Katie T. would like to know about your pet
All cats that will be in my care need to have profile on booking. Let me know if your cat has any special needs or behaviors that I need to be aware of. Make sure to update vet information in your cat's profile section in case of an emergency. Please include all medications and dosage.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your cat physically and mentally. Activities for a drop in will depend on your cat. During our meet and greet, I will get information from you on your cat's favorite activities. Once I get to know what your cat enjoys, I will plan activities during drop in around what your cat would enjoy most.

Trustworthy cat lover
Pet care experience
I’ve always loved cats and consider myself a cat person. I grew up with cats, have 2 cats of my own currently and have over 10 years of cat sitting experience. I'm experienced with cats of all personalities, understanding their body language and boundaries. Every cat has a unique personality and I've always taken time to get to know each cat and find what works best for them. I enjoy working with shy cats and provide opportunities and the ideal environment for cats to come out on their own terms. I also have experience with administering medication. I have administered pills, liquid medication, ear drops/ointment, eye drops and oral immunotherapy. I understand the importance of making sure all medication is administered accurately. I know how hard it is to leave your cats at home while on vacation and I want to make things as comfortable as possible for you and your cat.
Reviews
Once again Katie did such a great job with our cat Tilly! She does all of Tilly's favorite things and Tilly is always waiting at the door for her. Thanks again Katie!
Katie was so caring and a wonderful sitter for my cat, Zero! I would absolutely recommend her services- she is absolutely a natural cat person!
Another great booking with Katie! I appreciate Katie taking the initiative to pay attention to little details--skipping plant watering when it rained, opening the window during her visit to give our cat some nature-watching time, etc. Thanks, Katie!
Thank you for helping with a short notice request!
