Cats

As a full-time middle school teacher, I have a structured schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after school, in the evenings, on weekends, and during school breaks. Cat sitting is a great fit because cats typically do well with consistent drop-in visits, and I’m committed to making sure they receive the attention, care, and routine they need while you’re away. I’m organized, dependable, and experienced in following routines—skills I use every day as a teacher. I’ll communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can feel confident that your cat is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every cat according to their unique personality, routine, and needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter box clean, and provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime if they enjoy interacting. I also respect cats that prefer their space, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requirements. During every visit, I monitor for any changes in behavior or health and will communicate with the owner right away if I notice anything unusual. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their cat is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Information Patricia B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any of your pet’s preferences and possible health needs. For example, where your dog does not like to be approached or touched, or possible digestive problems when fed certain types of treats.

A typical day

I really enjoy interacting with cats and dogs equally. I know that some cats and dogs are cautious at first when meeting new people, so taking things slowly is important. I have 2+ years of volunteer experience at the RHSPCA working with new arrivals and I understand the importance of a soft, gentle approach.

Dependable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and caring cat sitter who understands that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or enjoys quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, cuddles (if your cat enjoys them!), and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to administer medication if needed and will carefully follow your cat’s routine and any special instructions. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your cat is doing. My goal is to provide the same level of care and affection that I would give my own pets, ensuring your cat is happy, healthy, and stress-free until you return. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!

Patricia took great care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend. One of my cats is a challenge and gave Patricia a hard time. She handled it like a pro and kept working with him until she was able to give him his meds. I highly recommend Patricia and will call her again!

Patricia is a highly experienced pet owner, pet foster, sitter, and animal shelter volunteer. She thrives with hard cases - pets with anxiety, pets in need of medications, pets in need of intensive support, etc. She is calm and not afraid of the dirty jobs associated with pet care and lives an active lifestyle. She enjoys taking dogs for walks. Patricia also has specialized training with abandoned kittens and senior pets. She also has taken dog behavioral courses with me. No one is more caring and responsible when it comes to providing love to animals at all stages of life. I highly recommend Patricia as a pet sitter.
