Responsible Teacher & Specialized Cat Sitter! 🐈‍⬛ As a local school teacher, safety, structure, and patience are at the core of everything I do. When I'm not in the classroom, I bring that same level of care, dedication, and organization to looking after your pets. While I love all animals and have experience with dogs (and chickens!), my current lifestyle is perfectly suited for the feline world (for housesits; for drop ins, I welcome a bit of dog time). I specialize in cat care, ensuring your kitty gets dedicated, low-stress, and reliable attention while you're away. 🐈 Multi-Cat Families: I believe a few extra head scratches shouldn't cost more. I don’t charge an additional fee for up to 3 cats—your base rate covers the whole trio. (If you have 4 or more cats, please message me so we can discuss a custom rate based on their routine.) (Note: If you have a mixed household of both dogs and cats, feel free to reach out! I'm happy to see if we're a great match for house sitting or drop-ins.) My Experience & Medical Care I've had a lifetime of pet ownership, including multiple cats and a sweet Dachshund named Hansi. One of my current cats is 14 with anxiety and asthma, and I am experienced at administering oral and topical medications. I haven't given insulin or allergy injections yet, but I'm absolutely willing to give it a... shot! :) For several years, I fostered for The Pixie Project, caring for cats recovering from surgery, tiny kittens, and those needing intense socialization (I’ve even braved giving sulfur baths for ringworm!). I only stopped when I became a proud "foster failure" and adopted my third kitty. My Pet Care Philosophy Because I am naturally low-key, quiet, and calm, I excel at reading the unique body language of cats and smaller dogs. I know exactly when they need their space to feel safe, and when they are ready to open up and play. 📍 My Routine Service Areas (more flexible in summer) To ensure I am always reliable, punctual, and available for ongoing care, I focus my services around my daily commuting hubs: NW Portland: Especially around Forest Heights/NW District/West Hills and surrounding neighborhoods (this is near my school). NE Portland: Centered around my home, stretching out toward 102nd Ave. Have a sit outside these specific pockets? Feel free to message me! If my work schedule permits, I always try to accommodate when I can.
