Trusted, Loving Care for Your Cat

Cat care experience

I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior companions. I understand their unique behaviors and needs, providing attentive care that includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your cat is independent or loves constant cuddles, I ensure their routine is maintained and they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in your absence.

Marissa took excellent care of my cats for a week. I usually feel anxious leaving them behind, but she kept me completely at ease throughout. Highly recommend.
