Cats! Cats! Cats! 😻

Pet care experience

I’m a responsible, dedicated animal lover, self-proclaimed “cat aficionado” ;) who owns two elderly kitties, but often cares for far more. I will care for your fur babies as if they were mine. Will send you pictures (if you wish) and will follow your instructions every time! I’m a good communicator and will always provide feedback on all the details you requested. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I own a car, so just ask and we’ll see what our options are to accommodate your needs! I like to meet up and get acquainted with you and your cats to see how we click and how we can work together. Your kitties will be fluent in Hungarian and Romanian by the time you come back from vacation, so get your dictionaries out!

As usual, Melinda is reliable, sweet, and wonderful with our cat. We love getting heartwarming messages and videos from Melinda updating us about their days together. We usually book Melinda for hour-long drop ins and our cat thinks the extra time and attention is purrfect! Melinda also always helps us bring in mail or packages while we're gone. We will be reaching out to Melinda again next time we're away!

Melinda is our go-to cat sitter and is always a pleasure to work with. She most recently looked after our cat for a week. Communication and scheduling with Melinda is always easy, clear, friendly, and professional. Melinda's clear love of cats (and wonderful photo updates!) always leaves us reassured that our people-person cat is left in good hands and good spirits while we're away. We can't recommend Melinda enough!

Melinda was the best! She was able to give medication to our cat with for congestive heart failure. Sent us videos and communicated with us throughout visits. She is very caring.

Melinda watched our elderly cat for a week while we were away, and I felt totally confident that her needs were met. We received regular updates on her wellbeing as well as many photos, which was a delightful bonus! She clearly has a great deal of experience caring for cats and gave our cuddle-loving kitty lots of pets for us while we were away. We would be delighted to hire Melinda again!

My two cats would be ok if I visited your fur babies, however boarding is not really feasible (unless it’s a really tiny baby) at this time; they are too territorial! I had pet sitting jobs that required visits even twice a day and I was able to accommodate when the distance was feasible. Just ask, we’ll discuss!

Information Melinda I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there’s anything specific you want me to do or to pay attention to, if you want me to feed them in a special way (I feed my cats in separate places, give them different amounts) I understand that each pet is different and unique in their own way.

A typical day

I will spend quality time with your fur babies and send you pictures! If you need me to pay special attention to a pet, I will make sure to do it and provide you the feedback.
