Availability

I work as a banker during the day, so your cats will be at my home while I’m at work. My availability for drop off and pick up is a bit limited—I'm usually free on weekdays after 6 PM, Saturdays after 2 PM, and all day Sunday. I may be available at other times as well, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask! 😊

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on your cat’s needs, they can either have a private space in my bedroom, separate from my other cats, or they’re welcome to explore the house freely. I typically spend the first hour or so with your cat in the bathroom to help them get comfortable with me. Introductions to my cats are done slowly and under supervision over the first few days, based on each cat’s personality, needs, and comfort level. The safety of all cats is my top priority.

Information Kaylyn S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat has any special requirements or medical needs. I welcome cats of all ages, but senior cats hold a special place in my heart.

A typical day

I love keeping cats active and entertained! We'll play with fun toys like wands, they can run on the cat wheel, and climb or explore my cat walls. With the owner's permission, I can also take them for walks—either on a leash or in a pet stroller (I have both). I'm always happy to follow any specific activities the owner recommends. Your cat will get lots of love, attention, and cuddles! 🐾

Pet care experience

I have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior and attentive to their needs. I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the space, comfort, and companionship they need to feel safe and secure while you’re away.

Kaylyn knows cats and cares so much about keeping them comfortable and happy. She is a great communicator and her daily photos of my cats gave me peace of mind. I felt very safe leaving my two cats, Ender and Valentine, with her and her partner, and I will definitely book again.

I could tell Tina and Milo really enjoyed being at Kaylyn’s house once they got used to being in a new place. She took really good care of them and sent a lot of updates!

Kaylyn watched my cat Kushy for the longest time we’ve ever been apart, and she was great from planning to pick up. She asked all the right questions to be sure Kushy would be comfortable during her stay, and she was patient with her to help her adjust to the new space. Kaylyn sent pictures and updates without prompting, and was responsive and flexible which helped with my nervousness about the length of time I was away. I look forward to booking with her again, she is a genuine cat lover!

Just cannot say enough good things about Kaylyn (and Terrance). Great temporary abode for Ocho. Utmost care and confidence.
