Availability
Outside of cat care, I am a freelance trombonist and music educator in the Bay Area, and I'd love to care for your pets between my rehearsals, performances, and lessons. My flexible schedule generally allows for care at any time of the day and as often as needed. At this time, I cannot commit to specific time requests unless needed for medical reasons. I will do my very best to have your visit within +/- 90 minutes of your request time and will work with you to fit your pet's needs into my schedule! The summer season and November-January is when I am the most flexible with scheduling.

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets by following all instructions and routines that they are accustomed to. Whether it be through their feeding schedules, preferred toys and treats, or by giving them the space they need to get comfortable, I strive to give every pet the best experience possible when their parents are away.
Information Miriam S. would like to know about your pet
Please be sure to share any specific care requests or need of your pet ahead of time! Let me know where their food, water, and litterboxes are, if they require any medication and the dosing information, where they like to hide, their favorite toys, and anything else that will allow me to provide the best care. I am happy to cater each visit to the needs of your cats!
A typical day
When I care for your cats, I will first make sure basic needs, such as food, water, litterbox cleaning, and any other tasks are taken care of. I will then spend the rest of our time together playing, cuddling, and giving pets!

Cat care experience
I've had cats my whole life and have always loved caring for them! Feeding, playing, lots of pets, and cleaning - I will do it all! I am a former SFSPCA volunteer. That training allowed me to become comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities. I have worked with newborn kittens, extremely shy and anxious cats, and cats who have nervous tendencies around unfamiliar people. No matter who your cat is, I will provide them with care that allows them feel as comfortable as possible. I have experience caring for diabetic cats and can check and interpret blood sugar levels, administer insulin, and deal with hypoglycemic episodes. I am also comfortable administering subcutaneous injections and oral medication via syringe.
Reviews
Very grateful for Miriam’s great care of my cats! She was very flexible as I worked out what would be best for Peanut’s care / meds. She also made a point to check on our shy one (always hiding) and that he ate.
Miriam was wonderful with our cats while we were away for 2 weeks! She followed our care instructions perfectly. She was punctual and dependable, we received daily updates and photos from her. After the first few updates, we knew our cats were in good hands and we were able to enjoy our time away and not worry about them. Miriam provided plenty of play and TLC. One of our cats took some time to warm up, but Miriam gave her space and gently, persistently worked on befriending her. Both our cats warmed up to her by the end of the visit. We came back to a clean litterbox and happy cats, thanks to Miriam. We'll definitely book her again for future trips. Thank you Miriam!!
Super communicative and took great care of Cleo! Would book again!
Miriam was a fantastic drop in for our two kittens during our weekend trip. She gave lots of pics and details throughout her check ins. When we got back, they seemed relaxed, almost as if they barely noticed we were gone. Would definitely work with her again and recommend her to others.
