Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of cats since adopting my orange tabby Butters 15 years ago and now me and my significant other have five in total. I have experience with fostering kittens, giving medications (in pill, liquid, and gel form), syringe feeding, and specific diets. I’ve cared for cats from 4 weeks up to super seniors.
Reviews
Mark saved the day! We had an unexpected funeral out of town and needed a last minute sitter for our cat. Mark flawlessly stepped in and made sure he had some company. Our cat isn't the friendliest and a bit spicy, and Mark was able to get him to warm up. We'd absolutely recommend Mark for your kitty and will use him again!
Mark is a great caregiver - takes a lot of photos and our cats seem to love him.
Mark took great care and pictures of our cat Luna!
Amazing as always. Very attentive and accommodating. Thanks Mark!

In my own home - Food on a regular schedule specific to the individual cat’s diet (one senior cat has a kidney health diet). Water fountain that is constantly replenished. Home clear of dangerous items and any plants that are not pet safe. Litter is regularly scooped.
Information Mark E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet and greet! Virtual or in person works for me! I am fully vaccinated and boosted.
A typical day
With the cats I hope to watch, I tend to follow the cat’s lead. If they’re ready for play time, I’m right there with toys in hand. If they still need some time to warm up, I won’t push it. I am only taking care of cats at this time.
