Looking forward to making sure your pets have everything they need to be as happy, comfortable, and safe as possible while their humans are away. I am confident administering medications of all sorts (topical, injectable, oral- liquid or pill) and tailor my technique to your pet’s disposition to minimize (or eliminate if possible) any stress.

Pet care experience

Hi! I specialize in cat care and aim to provide thoughtful, reliable visits so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life and have long been the go-to sitter for friends, family, and coworkers. My experience became more specialized when I adopted my own cats—one who is now a 12-year-old senior, diagnosed with lymphoma over a year ago. Managing her care, including medications, inspired me to start offering pet sitting through Rover. I’m very comfortable with oral medications and injections (including insulin), and I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are for cats with medical needs. I’m especially happy to work with households that need reliable, routine care. Due to a full-time work schedule, I offer limited, focused availability and prioritize bookings that are a good fit for my schedule and care style. For the health and safety of my own pets, I’m unable to accept bookings for cats or dogs with known contagious illnesses (such as active respiratory infections).

I really appreciated the notices of when Kelli was there to feed and check in on my cats. It gave me peace of mind knowing that they were cared for.
