Pet care experience

Peace of mind your cat feels safe

I’ve been caring for my precious cat, Poppy, for over three years. When I adopted her, she was the most timid cat at the shelter, which taught me the importance of patience, trust, and respecting boundaries. By learning to recognize signs of discomfort and stress, I was able to create a calm, safe environment where she could truly feel secure. I take pride in staying attentive to her physical and emotional well-being—keeping up with daily tooth and fur brushing, providing enrichment and stimulation, and making sure her routine supports a happy, healthy indoor life. Caring for Poppy has given me a deep understanding of how to help cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their humans are away.

House Sitting • May 06, 2026

Mae was absolutely amazing, so trustworthy and reliable. She stayed at our house for a week, taking care of my dog and two cats. She sent photos, took them for extra walks, and gave them so much love. When we came back, she had folded the laundry, and it looked like no one had even been in the house; it was left that clean! Will definitely use her again for all trips. It can be scary having someone stay in your house after meeting them once or twice, but everything turned out great!

Mae was amazing! More than I had hoped for. She took care of my babies while I was out of town, sent me pictures! She didn't make a mess and she cleaned up after the dogs. She was responsive and trustworthy. I cannot wait to book her for my next trip!

Mae was absolutely fantastic while watching Chunk for the week! She provided regular check-ins, walks, and plenty of photos that made me feel completely at ease. Her communication was excellent the entire time, and it was clear Chunk was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated how reliable and thoughtful she was. I would definitely book with Mae again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!

Schedule

Starting in April, my availability will be updated on a biweekly basis as I begin a full-time position. Because of my work schedule, it will be more difficult for me to commit to recurring services such as weekly walks, so most bookings will need to be scheduled individually based on my current availability. For pet sitting/house sitting, I am still available; however, I will be away for approximately an 8-hour workday. If your pet is comfortable being alone during that time, I would still love to help! If your pet requires more frequent daytime care, it may be best to book with a sitter whose schedule better fits those needs. Drop-in visits will typically be available before and after my work hours, and I will keep my calendar updated regularly as my schedule changes. Thank you for understanding, and I appreciate the opportunity to continue caring for your pets!
