Pet care experience
Friends Call Me the Pet Whisperer!
Hi there! Growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters and parakeets, one could say loving and caring for animals is almost second nature to me. I have experience dog and cat sitting for neighbors, friends and family, providing drop-ins, overnight care, scheduled feeding, walking, grooming and most importantly, playtime! Currently, I work remote M-F, which allows me time to schedule breaks for those ever so important check ins on your fur family. Once hired, your pet is my priority while you are away. I’m comfortable harnessing, walking and cleaning up after small-medium dogs. If necessary, I can bathe your pet, following cues from your pet and any tips from you to make the experience smooth and nourishing. I love cats and understand their various temperaments and boundaries. Good with brushing, feeding, litter box cleaning, nail trim (animal permitting) and spot bathing for those ever fun dingleberries. A little about me: I have two cats, Suki and Wolfie - both rescued. I have raised them since they were young kittens. I volunteer with Viva Los Gatos and have actually fostered kittens for Dogs Unlimited Rescue. I recently returned from 18 months in Mexico, where I volunteered with a local rescue group and independently fostered and rescued as well. When I’m not playing with my fur babies, I love to cook, go on walks and act.

Safety, trust & environment
I require detailed instructions for the caring of your pet. Let me know any special needs, temperament, diet and medication. I have given insulin injections to dogs before and have hidden pills in treats. I will treat your pet like my family while you are away. I’ll engage them in playtime, cuddle time if they are willing, make sure their environment is secure and clean, ensure they have water and food as need (including those ever crucial treats). I am happy to provide plenty of pictures and maintain open communication with the client.
Ratings and reviews
She was attentive and did well with my cats, and they seemed comfortable in her care. She was also kind enough to feed my fish and checked in to make sure I made it home safely from my trip. With my dog, there was some initial stress around the routine I had set out, and they seemed to struggle to connect. Once we adjusted the routine, things improved and they settled into a better rhythm.
Had a great experience! Got thorough updates with plenty of photos daily.
McCall is a very caring cat sitter. My kitty Jack is very sweet but is shy around new people, he usually hides from cat sitters but she was able to make him comfortable enough to play and get some pets.
McCall has been amazing with my shy kitty while I’ve been out of town. Will continue to book with her, great experience so far!
We’re so thankful for McCall checking on and caring for our kitties twice while we were away. Based on the photos and videos sent, they seemed to very much enjoy having a friend stop by for pets, treats, play, and clean litter boxes. She was even able to lure our shy kitty out from hiding, which means she certainly has a magic touch! We will definitely consider McCall again for our next extended trip
So happy with our drop-in experience with McCall! We have a diabetic cat who needs insulin twice a day and she was super comfortable administering that and accommodating his and the other cats’ eating schedules. We appreciated all the reports and photos while we were on a family vacation and had zero concerns that our fur babies were in good hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would for sure hire again! Thanks so much!

Schedule
I work remote full time, M-F. I have an hour lunch break which I can easily use to check in on your pet. I typically start services at 8 am but can be available earlier upon request. Happy to check in on your pet as late as 9 pm (arrival time). Working remote allows me to have breaks, which I can dedicate to caring for your pet. Owner permitting, I am also comfortable taking my laptop to the client home to spend some extra time with your pet while working.
