Pet care experience

Cat Pro | Kittens - Seniors & Meds

Hi, I’m Melissa! I’ve spent years caring for cats professionally through my work managing a cat cafe, where I’ve worked with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. My experience ranges from bottle-feeding neonatal kittens to caring for senior cats, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications and monitoring for changes in behavior or health. I understand that every cat is different. Some want endless playtime and attention, while others prefer quiet companionship and respect for their space. My goal is always to provide a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while you’re away. You can expect reliable communication, plenty of photos and updates, and care tailored to your cat’s individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting your feline family! 🐱💛

Safety, trust & environment

Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience caring for cats ranging from bottle babies to seniors, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring behavior changes, and following detailed care instructions. During visits, I’ll ensure food, water, litter boxes, and living areas are clean and secure while providing plenty of affection, enrichment, and updates so you can feel confident your cat is receiving excellent care while you’re away. 🐾

Melissa is so kind and great with my cat, Buddha. Really glad we found her--- feels great to have the peace of mind that Buddha is in good hands when I'm out of town.

Melissa was kind, responsive, and took excellent care of my senior cat with some medical needs. I would happily recommend her and book her again.

Melissa was the perfect cat sitter! Easy to get in touch with, prompt in her communications, and took care of our cat like she was her own during our one week vacation. Would definitely book her again!

Melissa took care of my cat for a couple days. Oreo got friendly with Melissa fairly quickly which unusual for him- he usually doesn’t like new people. Melissa stood with my schedule which is very important to me. Will definitely hire Melissa again when i need another cat sitter.

Schedule

I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, medication, playtime, feeding, or extra companionship while you’re away, I can tailor my visits to fit their routine. I understand how important consistency is for cats and will do my best to keep them comfortable and stress-free.
