Safety, trust & environment

I reside in a cozy apartment with my trio of furry companions. Equipped with lots of surveillance camera, I ensure their safety while maintaining a smoke-free & dust-free environment vacuuming and mopping the kitchen floors daily with pure water, ensuring a chemical-free environment. I avoid using scented products since some cats are very sensitive to smells. I'm happy to provide daily updates with photos and videos, so you can keep an eye on your beloved pets from afar 🥰

Information Michelle "Mitty" G. would like to know about your pet

‼️Please make sure your pets’s most recent annual record/vaccination/rabies are up to date to keep the safety of both parties. Please don't hesitate to share if your cat(s) have any specific needs. I have experience caring for various breeds, both short-haired and long-haired and various cats with medical conditions. Additionally, I will set up an individual room specifically for shy cats seeking their own peaceful sanctuary. They will have a safe place where they can relax and feel secure by themselves.

A typical day

Every morning, as I wake up, my cats would come up to my bed and cuddle with me and ask for scratches. Together, we perform our morning rituals, with them leading me to the food bowl station where I sprinkle with daily supplements and watch over them as they dine. While they eat and get distracted, I groom them so it will keep their coat free from tangles and removes the loose hair to reduce the likelihood of hairballs forming. I feed them with necessary supplements (hairball supplements/immune boosts) during that time as well. If it’s a sunny day, I’ll stroll my cats in a cat stroller around town. My cat Juicy loves to ride in a car, so if she wants to go outside, I will take her in for a short ride around the town and she’ll be super happy. I watch Ricey eat A LOT. During the meantime, I play with them everyday with cat teasers, razor pointes, and cat toys. Ahri enjoys human interaction a lot and he loves to play fetch with me, he’s trained to press buttons so if he wants something he will press it to get my attention, he’s favorite buttons are “eat, treat” xD

Cat care experience

I’m the purrrfect companion for your furry friend. 
I’ve been a cat parent for 8 years to my senior cats, Juicy and Ahri, and 2 years to little Ricey. I enjoy taking care of fur babies and interacting with them. I follow strict feeding routines that are set by pet owners and stay alert to any medical condition, allergies, special dietary needs, and any toys (long strings/small balls that might be ingested) that could be unsafe when left unattended. Typical day for me is get up with cats beside my bed-prepare their food-watch them eat while combing them-brush their teeth-play with them-clean litter box-eat my food-work-play-work-interact with them-prepare for second meal-eat my dinner-interact with them 🤣 I’m always mindful of behavioral changes and treat every cat client with extra care. Your cats will be under a safe & controlled environment! One of my hobby is to train pets to learn fun and practical behaviors using pet-friendly, positive reinforcement approaches. For example, I’ve helped my cats to learn to reduce their stress with dental cleanings, stay calm for bathing, oral/injecting medications, outdoor activities, introducing new people or cats to the household, or loud noises. I’ve trained my cats to get used to dental cleaning/hair combing/monthly nail trimming. Juicy & Ricey knows tricks like high-fives & sit, while Ahri to learned how to use buttons to express clearly of his needs, such as “Pet”, “Cuddle”, “Play ball”, “Play teasers”. These trainings will strengthen cat-human bond as well. I WFH part-time so I have plenty of time to give loved and cuddles to my fur babies. I love to show them how to have fun and enrich their daily lives by caring for them & giving lots of love by DIYing toy enrichments and lots of interacting activities. Your cats will NEVER be left alone with me! Over the years, I’ve also cared for multiple cats with different temperaments at once without leaving anyone feeling left out, keeping their daily routine, monthly maintenance (litter box clean-out, trimming their nails, brushing teeth, combing), and one of my proudest moments is when I kept 8 cats living together in harmony. My home is filled with playing & climbing areas, toys, and cozy resting cat beds so my cats and cat guests always have enough personal space, enrichment, and comfort. There will be an individual room prepared for initial isolation. Will always update pet owners daily pictures or videos on how their pet’s are doing. I will always be in contact and have never ghosted anyone. My cats’ vaccinations are always up to date so I expect to see my boarding request clients provide me with their most recent vaccinations as well. I genuinely enjoy observing what each cat needs and adjusting care to keep them comfortable and healthy. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, loves & cuddles, or need training, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for 💕

Mitty was so great for Sage. She took extra time and care to help our kitty get comfortable. She gave detailed visit recaps with photos and videos. She went above and beyond caring for Sage.

Mitty was amazing with Chicky! She was very patient and spent time playing with her, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured while I was away. She was also very professional and always quick to respond to messages. I really appreciated how caring and attentive she was with Chicky, and I would definitely book with her again!

Mitty did an excellent job looking after my cat when I was away. She played with my cat a lot and was very attentive to my 13 year old cat’s needs. I received many videos and photos updating on my cat’s adjustment to a new environment. I would definitely recommend Mitty!

She took care of my precious cat and took so many pictures and videos to show me, I never once got worried due to the amount of pics and vids she had of Sake! I will always come back if I ever needed to, and from my experience, they are trustworthy and very reliable.
