Parent to medically complex kitties
Pet care experience
I’ve been a cat lover my whole life and would love to meet yours! I have 3 medically complex 4 yr old kitties with allergies, autoimmune conditions, urinary issues, and anal gland infections. I administer oral pills and liquid twice daily for them, and have experience with subcutaneous injections. The first cats in my life were outdoor cats in rural Michigan. Some of my fondest memories are of the excitement on the bus ride home from school to play with my cat when I got home. While in college, I raised a kitten with my partner at the time and introduced a second cat a year later. They were both super energetic and loved play time with catnip toys! After that, I adopted a senior kitty who ended up being my first medically complex fur baby. She had her remaining teeth removed recently when I adopted her, but we dealt with chronic ear and eye infections as well as inflammatory bowel disease. A few months after she passed, she sent me my current three medically complex fur babies to look after. My experience with dogs is less extensive, but I’d still love to meet yours! Growing up we’d dog sit for my grandpa’s medium sized dog and my best friend had 2 wire fox terriers. More recently, I’ve watched my friend’s tiny chihuahua for a few days who got along well with my cats 🐶🐱

Reviews



Rachael was great! She handled our indecisiveness very well. I loved the pictures every time she came out to take care of the cats. She is a very kind human. We would absolutely use Rachael again! Highly recommended.


Rachael did an amazing job taking care of our babies! We loved the photo and video updates at each session! We would definitely rebook and recommend anyone else to book with Rachael! Thanks!!


Lovely updates and photos makes it feel like you know what’s goin on with our ladies while we’re out! Thank you for the care and love given to our kitties. Much appreciated


We had a wonderful experience! Rachael cared for our two cats while we were away and was patient with their very different personalities. Rachael took the time to give attention to both cats, kept us updated, and even helped out with a package and a couple kitty messes. We will definitely book again and highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!!
