Kitty Sitter Extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

✅ Topical Ointments/Flea Preventatives ✅ Eyedrops/Eardrops ✅ Oral Medication/Pills ✅ Insulin Injections/Diabetic Management ✅ Subcutaneous Fluids ❤️ PLEASE NOTE* I service primarily cats and prefer to accept reservations only for cat families. That being said, I am happy to consider exceptions for multi-pet households, and do have experience petsitting dogs, guinea pigs, chickens, rabbits and parakeets as well. 🧡 SERVICES OFFERED: drop-in visits to pet's home 💛 SERVICE AREA: west of I-15, between Torrey Pines & downtown 💚 WHY CHOOSE NATASHA: 7 years veterinary technician experience, 7 years of regular petsitting, and a lifetime of loving cat ownership 💙 MISCELLANEOUS: I'll also take care of any household things you may need done while you're away (watering plants, feeding fish, bringing in mail, etc.) ________________________________________ Hi guys! My name is Natasha and I'd love to take care of your kitty kids! I have 7 years experience in the veterinary field working as a technician, and have been regularly kitty-sitting for 7 years. I've taken care of all kinds of kitties: senior cats, kittens, diabetics, kitties who need topical and oral medications, cats who need subcutaneous fluids, affectionate cats, shy cats, aggressive cats, you name it! I'm comfortable providing whatever medical care your kitten may require while you're away, and of course will make sure they get all the fun and affection they need, all in the comfort of their own home! I have a good understanding of the different personalities, behaviors, and needs of cats and strive to provide the best sitting experience for them, whether it be lots of playtime action, super snuggles, or just to respect their personal space. I understand that each and every cat is different and requires individualized care. I like to spend a little time speaking with kitty parents to find out what their routine is and what their cat likes, and do my best to stick to their daily schedule, because we all know cats can be a touch stubborn and appreciate things be done a particular way. And as a bonus, I love taking pet photos, so I'll be sure to provide you with a Dropbox file (at no additional charge) so you can get plenty of pictures and videos of your kitties while you're away (as long as they permit it of course... some kitties can be a bit camera shy). I've been a cat lover and owner for all my life, and currently have 3 of my own: Caesar and Sphinx (littermates I've had since they were 4 weeks old; they're 12 years old now), and Jasmine, a rescue I've had for about 6 years. My cats are quite intelligent, so I am always putting out different toys for them to play with and puzzles for them to solve. Jasmine has even learned to do some tricks, like wave, spin, and high-five (check her out on YouTube!---> bit.ly/Jazzycat) I think it's really important to provide our pets with an enriching life regardless of whether we're home or away at work. A lot of people don't realize the abilities of cats, but their mental capability is astounding, it just requires a bit more patience to discover. I hope you choose me as your kitty-sitter and I look forward to speaking with you! Please feel free to message me anytime with any questions.

Natasha did a fantastic job watching our diabetic senior kitty! She had no issues giving him his insulin and medication and encouraging him to eat despite him being a picky eater. She made sure to give him plenty of pets and cuddles, even introduced him to a laser pointer which he loved! She wrote very thorough report cards and took the best pictures. We will definitely be hiring her to watch George in the future! ❤️

Natasha always takes such good care of Archie! She understands his needs and does his favorite exercises and games. She is very knowledgeable with cats and helps out this first time cat owner a bunch! He is always well cared for and happy and healthy when I come home :)

Natasha was the ideal person to take care of our cat, who needed his sub-cu fluids while I was gone. She is an experienced vet tech and did an excellent job overall. We will definitely ask Natasha to help out again.

This was my first time with Rover and with Natasha and it couldn't have been smoother! She communicates in detail, takes amazing pictures, and takes the best care of Archie!! She even made him a little box house; Archie has lots of fun with her!!!
