Low-Stress Cat Care with an LVT

I've been caring for cats for over 30 years and have experience with kittens, adults, senior cats, and those with special medical needs. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with emergency and general practice experience, I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring for changes in health, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I believe the best care starts with respecting each cat's personality. Whether they're social butterflies or prefer to observe from across the room, I use calm, low-stress handling techniques and work at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll provide fresh food and water, litter box care, playtime or quiet companionship, medication administration if needed, and detailed updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is receiving attentive, compassionate care. I'm happy to administer medications as part of my visits at no additional charge. If your cat has unique medical or behavioral needs that require significantly more time or specialized handling, we'll discuss those details before booking. Please note: I ask for at least 14 days' notice whenever possible. This helps me plan my schedule and ensure I can provide your cat with the attentive, reliable care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Your cat's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I respect your home, follow your cat's established routine, and use calm, low-stress handling techniques to help minimize anxiety while you're away. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician, I'm trained to recognize early signs of illness or injury. If I notice a medical concern, I'll contact you immediately and follow your emergency instructions, including transporting your cat to your preferred veterinarian if necessary.

Kim was great with my boy Tyson. Her dogs also accepted Tyson as a part of their pack. I even feel like Tyson didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. Lol. Thank you Kim! A+

Kim-Elaine is so kind and good with our pups. One of our babies is getting older and has some issues and she treats him so well. We absolutely adore her! Thanks so much for everything. :)

Schedule

I currently work three 12-hour shifts each week as a Licensed Veterinary Technician. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care for your cat. For house-sitting bookings, I'll discuss my work schedule with you beforehand so you know exactly when I'll be in your home and can determine whether it's a good fit for your cat's needs.

Cats
Kim-Elaine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
To provide the best care possible, please let me know: Your cat's normal daily routine. Any medical conditions, medications, or special dietary needs. Whether your cat is shy, fearful, or has any behavioral concerns. Favorite toys, treats, hiding spots, and ways they enjoy interacting. Contact information for your veterinarian and an emergency contact. The more I know before your trip, the better I can make your cat's experience feel safe, comfortable, and as close to normal as possible.
