Safety, trust & environment

Besides tending to your cat's needs, I can help make sure that your house or apartment does not look vacant while you are gone. This includes rotating lights, bringing in the mail, or taking the trash out on garbage day.

Information Lara P. would like to know about your pet

I strive to provide the same love and care that your cat gets from you every day. Let me know their routine and their likes and dislikes. Do they try to escape the front door? Do they have certain hiding places? Do they have a favorite toy or treat? Will belly rubs result in certain death to the belly rubber?

A typical day

I will let your cat lead. If they want to play, we will play. If they want scratches, there will be scratches. If they want me to keep my distance, I will keep my distance. Every cat is an individual and I will make sure their needs are met and their boundaries are respected.

The Cat Lady

Cat care experience

Our cats have certain expectations. She is a princess, after all. He is a prince. Bowls need to be filled on time, treats need to be given, water needs to be refreshed, toys need to be dangled, chins need to be scratched. This is true, even when we are on vacation. Let me be there for your little prince or princess when you cannot! A lifelong animal lover, I currently share my home with two pampered kitties. I will treat your babies like the precious creatures they are. Visits are tailored to your cat's needs and personality, but activities include refreshing food and water, scooping litter boxes, play sessions, and scratch sessions. If your kitty is shy and prefers not to associate with "the help," I will respect their space while making sure their every need is met.

This was Lara's second time looking after my cat and she did a wonderful job again! My kitty was so happy when I got home it was like I never left.

Lara was a wonderful sitter for my cat Ella! She followed instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in caring for my kitty. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pet!
