Pet care experience

A cat lover's dream!

I have had family cats for the past 30 years and have always loved cats. I rescued my own cat, Mimosa, from the barn I work at after she was dumped there. My experience nursing her back to health has given me experience with pilling cats and some special needs care, and emergency care experience. I also have taken City Kitties' foster training and also foster actively with them. I love making sure your cat has a clean and enjoyable litterbox and meeting any needs that they have. I am attuned to your cat's temperament and used to comforting shy cats, playing with high energy cats, and soothing anxious cats.

Kristen is such a great sitter! She is so responsible, and every photo she sends of my cat he looks so happy to have her there. Very grateful to have found her!

Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, even when he had some complex medical needs to look out for. She’s a fantastic pet person!

Kristen has been my spouse’s and my catsitter for our cats for more than two years. She takes excellent care of our boys and treats them like her own and is very reliable and sends us wonderful updates to put our minds at ease. Whenever we travel, we know our cats are in good hands.

Kristen is a lifelong animal lover and the most trustworthy person I know! She has had cats & horses her entire life and has always taken nothing but exemplary care of all animals in her charge. She is vigilant about following care instructions and does not hesitate to seek out medical care as soon as needed for her pets (feline & equine!). I would not hesitate to leave my pet in Kristen's care as I know it would be exceptionally well looked after and adored.

I work 9-5, M-F and am in the office twice a week, so I am available mornings and evenings most days. I tend to have longer visits in evenings to do most cleaning, additional playtime, etc, but can also do this in the morning.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, cats are kept in separate rooms and each room has a litterbox, scratch pad, toys, plus food and water. I will spend several hours in each room so each cat gets plenty of attention and companionship. I have 1-2 cats (my one resident cat, plus a foster) that I care for on a regular basis In my client's homes, I am a shoes-off person who likes to leave things clean and tidy. I make sure your cat has clean food and water bowls, plus a tidy litter box and can sweep up any messes. I like to spend time with your cat in the way that they prefer, whether that's active playtime, or peaceful companionship

Pets

A typical day

I love to make sure that cats feel comfortable and that I meet their respective needs. If your cat likes a peaceful, unobtrusive vibe, I'm happy to sit on the floor and read until they feel comfortable coming over. If you have a playful kitty, I love hearing about their favorite toy and making sure they get plenty of stimulation! If your cat likes being brushed, just let me know and I can brush them too.
