Reliable & Thoughtful Care for Cats

Cats require a certain level of quiet care and observation—to me that means you have to let them show you who they are and what they need. When it comes to chatting with kitties I have a very soothing, loving tone. Personally I have the privilege of watching over two kitties with very distinct personalities. One is more anxiety prone and loves attention but on their terms. The other insists on cuddling in the crook of my arm at least 3x a day. As tempting as it is to cuddle and squeeze them all it’s not up to me. It’s what best for them! Beyond meeting cats where they are I am comfortable following diverse diet instructions, observing bathroom habits, and making sure kitties get the exercise and attention they need to comfortably take their cat naps during the day. I’m also pretty good with a camera and enjoy snapping memorable photos of cats.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I’ve been caring for cats for years now I know they can be any where at any time. I open doors slowly to make sure I don’t encourage their inner escape artist. I’ve also learned to look up for those cats that thrive on top of cabinets or in the least expected tight, dark spaces. I clean up wet food dishes, wash out cans, sweet up dry food, and make sure water dishes are cleaned every few days to ensure kitty is getting fresh water. I’ve learned to keep an eye out for hair ties, open windows, loose cables just in case they are feeling feisty!

Kristen was amazing with our cat Marvin! I would highly recommend her. Marvin is a nervous kitty and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but Kristen put him immediately at ease. Her calm demeanor and attention to his body language (not petting at first, letting Marv come to her) made him feel safe and by the end of her sitting with him, he was downright cuddly. If you are looking for an attentive, patient and well attuned animal lover to care for your pet Kristen is it!

Kristen is a wonderful cat sitter!! We have an outgoing cat and a shy cat, and she quickly earned both their trust! It always nerve-wracking having to find new trustworthy pet sitters when you move somewhere new…. But, Kristen is so capable, professional, communicative, and kind - we knew our kitties were in great hands! So so so glad we’ve found her :)

Schedule

I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule to care for your kitties with consistency. If you have good WiFi at your home I can stay longer and work from there while keeping your sweet kitty company. Sometimes all they need is a little extra time on a comfy lap!
