Cat Boarding & House sitting

Pet care experience

🗓 May availability 🗓 🏖 Now accepting summer & fall bookings 🏕 *Full-time* Professional tummy rubber & cuddler. My profile has many happy cat and dog client photos, for you to view. I love all animals unconditionally and I enjoy their company! If your furry companion enjoys attention or belly rubs- their new bestie (me) will adore them and give them lots of love. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs... including strong dogs, dogs who leash pull, and hyper dogs. I have been fortunate to have cat companions, throughout my entire life. I have cared for outgoing, dominant, agreeable, impulsive, and shy cat personality types. ________________________ ***** Cat only boarding ***** We have 3 catified bedrooms with multiple areas for your cat(s) to climb, jump, play, hunt, rest, and sleep. Tree room - Room #1: Ample room for 1-3 cats, in a single cat family. Tree/Nature theme cat tree and scratchers. If your kitties enjoy lots of human interaction, my daughter shares this room. Calm room - Room #2: Room for 1-6 cats, in a single cat family. This is a fully furnished, calm room with lots of areas to lounge and toys to play with. Honeycomb room - Room #3 Room for 1-4 cats in a single family. This room has multiple cat shelves and hexagon cubbies for your kitties to climb and lounge in. If your kitties enjoy human interaction, I share this room. Once a request is fully booked, your cat(s) room is reserved for them and only them (no shared rooms with other cat clients). Each room is thoroughly cleaned between guests. I wash food/water bowls daily and scoop litter boxes multiple times a day. A guest favorite is our catio! Your cat(s) can safely spend some time outside to bird watch, explore, or relax. Catio will be closed during July and August, due to weather. Prior to booking a stay, I can set up a virtual meet and greet at my home. This allows you to see where your furry companion(s) will be spending their time and to ensure we are a good fit. My daughter (16) loves hanging out and playing with our kitty clients. Our husky dog was raised by cats and knows her place in the cat social hierarchy (the very bottom!). We have an extremely outgoing and social orange tabby, that lived in a rescue for the majority of his adult life. Our furry pets will not have access to your cat(s) private, reserved room. During your cat(s) stay, they can have supervised free rein of our home. We can also section off your cat(s) room in our home, to ensure your kitty(s) has a stress free and enjoyable experience, away from the commoners (husky, orange tabby, and sometimes me). Up to date vaccination records and preventive flea/tick treatments are required for each kitty, prior to booking start dates. What to bring: - Please bring food and treats to last two days past the planned duration of your kitties stay - It would be great if you bring something that smells like you or your home (shirt or blanket). - It's okay to bring toys or comfort items (including water fountain). - Medication with detailed instructions. *Must notify me of medications at beginning of booking request. - If your cat(s) need to use a special or particular litter, bring enough to last the duration of their stay. *I supply regular scoopable cat litter (various brands) and litter box. I live in a three bedroom, one story corner house-with a 6 foot tall enclosed block back yard. Conveniently located off of Route 51 and Bell Road (North, on 23rd Street). ____________________ ***** House sitting ***** Pet sitters interpret house sitting differently. For me, I generally stay in a home 16-20 hours or more- in a 24 hour period. I try to be "in for the night" around 8pm. The longest I am out of the home is 3 hours at a time. I generally use this time for meal breaks, checking in on my house, and provide services for other clients. If you need constant care for your pets (you need someone to stay with your pets and not leave the house), please contact me. If my schedule permits, my rate is 2 times the regular rate (or holiday rate based on requested dates) listed on my Rover profile. I offer medication administration, feedings, play, letting out in back yard/patio, and cuddling. While house sitting, I usually request access to a bed/couch with bedding, bathroom with a shower, ability to adjust home temperature, access to washer/dryer, access to microwave and dishwasher, ability to store food/drinks in refrigerator/freezer, and Wi-Fi password. I also request being able to order food delivery to come to the home. If this is not allowed, I can make other arrangements for meals. With owner permission, my daughter (16) will accompany me during house sitting bookings. She loves pets, is a Girl Scout, honor roll recipient, kind, respectful, and responsible. During Christmas and New Year's holidays, I'll only accept request that will allow my daughter to accompany me. **********

This was our first time having our kitten looked after and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Monique was absolutely fantastic and provided such exceptional care for our kitten - She truly went above and beyond for our fur baby, ensuring she felt comfortable, loved, and right at home! Not to mention, the initial Zoom meet and greet really put us at ease, and Monique’s communication was excellent throughout the entire stay - She sent very detailed updates and plenty of photos to keep us connected and reassured. Our kitty also just absolutely adored her, her daughter, and the cozy honeycomb room she got to stay in! We had total peace of mind knowing our kitten was in such loving hands - We will definitely be booking with Monique again in the future!

Availability

My Rover availability calendar is up to date. My holiday rate applies to Easter weekend. Pet care is my full time job. I set my prices based on a living wage for my area and accounting for the costs of doing business. I don't add extra padding to the prices as I want to provide all my clients with the same great value. I love hanging out with animals and giving them the attention they need.
