Pet care experience

The epic Bavarian Cat Oasis!

Cats are my preference and expertise. I have 4 of my own and I truly pamper and give every cat attention and affection. I stock a large assortment of toys, scratch posts, heated beds and anything to keep the felines I watch happy. I’ve had cats since I was a small child.

Sara is dependable and is awesome with communication. I did not stress at all on vacation knowing my cat was well taken care of.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with my cat Snooki and made her feel right at home from what I could tell from the updated pictures she sent me over the weekend ❤️. She responds quickly and even helped me understand how to use this app for the first time. I highly recommend her and will be letting my other friends with fur babies know about her work 😁 !

Sara Hemingway has taken care of my elderly cat for 3 years now. She sits and visits with her for quite a while. She is trustworthy and loves animals!

Schedule

I am a stay at home college student. I bring my school work in with my kitties. They usually help me get the school work done. Until they demand play time. Essentially whatever the feline royalty demands, I am within close reach! While it may differ day to day, I am home a solid 90% of the time.

Safety, trust & environment

For cat sitting we have an upstairs apartment which would be dedicated for our feline guest. Cat tree, hiding spots and litter box included, with toys all around. Please bring your pets preferred food and treats!

A typical day

When I have a cat visiting in our dedicated cat room (the apartment), make sure they are comfortable and relaxed; sniffing around, all the good stuff. Once situated, most activities that can be done in another room would be moved to the cat’s location! TV on the couch, schoolwork, games, eating. Our place has a cat tree, toys, and plenty of cardboard boxes for your cat to scratch on. As well as plenty of places to nap in. While I don’t do much dog sitting, dogs will have an enjoyable walk, just let me know if they enjoy 30 minute walks or 15 minute walks! I will adjust accordingly! We have lots of things to smell and see.
