Trusted, Loving Care for Your Cat

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 was so great with Steve and sent such detailed report cards so I knew Stevie was having a good time. Stevie is usually pretty shy and warmed up to Marissa so fast. Thank you!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I prioritize creating a nurturing and consistent environment for the animals I care for by structuring my schedule to ensure pets feel loved and secure. Whether it’s planning around specific needs or providing flexible care during busy weeks, I’m committed to seamlessly integrating pet care into my life to meet both the pets' and owners' expectations.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is creating a seamless and stress-free experience for both your pet and your property. I meticulously adhere to established routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care requirements, ensuring your pet's comfort in their familiar surroundings. Beyond pet needs, I take great care to maintain the tidiness and integrity of your home, respecting your space while providing regular, reassuring updates. From playtime to administering medication or simply offering companionship, I aim to make your pet feel safe and loved, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting involves comprehensive care that prioritizes your pet's comfort and well-being. This includes consistent feeding and ensuring fresh water is always available, along with administering any necessary medication or tending to grooming needs. I focus on providing plenty of engaging playtime and enrichment, tailored to their individual preferences. I attentively monitor their behavior and overall well-being, offering companionship and reassurance to ease any separation anxiety they might experience. Beyond direct pet care, I am committed to maintaining a tidy and comfortable environment by regularly cleaning up after your pet. I send consistent updates to you, keeping you fully informed and reassured that your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for.
