Safety, trust & environment

I will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your cat is in good hands while you’re away. My house sitting services are not overnights, this is just the best way for me to offer a more affordable rate for a larger block of time. This service is 4 hours of care per day, either in 1 time block or broken up into 2. For cats who need more companionship than this, we can discuss a custom rate!

Information Sara Z. would like to know about your pet

Medications, patterns of behavior, hiding spots, and what your cat would prefer out of my time (play time, lap time, brushing, or calm social exposure for more nervous cats)

A typical day

Care tasks I offer, tailored to your cat’s needs: Meals, administering medication (oral/pills, inhalers, injections), refilling water bowls, maintain litter boxes & sweeping litter, brushing, enriching playtime, and providing companionship/cuddles. I will also bring in the mail and water houseplants if requested.

Cat care experience

Available Memorial Day Weekend! Hi I'm Sara! A cat lover with many years experience providing quality care for our feline friends. I have cared for 40+ cats over the years, from 2 week old kittens to senior cats over 16. I grew up with 6 beloved family cats before adopting 2 of my own in adulthood. On top of my extensive experience caring for cats, my mother is a veterinarian specialized in feline medicine & surgery. So I got to learn a lot of tips from a specialist! This knowledge has led to me help clients tackle their cat’s lack of appetite issues, stress & destructive behavior, and giving confidence to even the most timid kitties.🐱 I understand that cats are unique individuals with their own personalities and needs. Whether your cat is an independent explorer or a cuddly lap companion, I tailor my care approach to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. From administering medications to managing special dietary needs, I handle all aspects of cat care with the utmost attention. Additionally, I have owned both salt water and fresh water aquariums and am equipped to care for your aquatic animals too!

Sara is fantastic! I think Winston might miss her when we come home more than he misses us while we're away!

Sara did an amazing job caring for Winston! He is about to turn 18 years old and needs extra patience and attention, and Sara handled everything beautifully. She was thoughtful, reliable, and clearly understands the needs of senior pets. We felt at ease knowing our cat was in such caring hands. Sara kept us updated and treated our lil furball with genuine kindness and respect. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Sara took care of our kitty Nala for a week over the holidays. She was prepared, organized and a great communicator! Always gave detailed updates on how Nala was doing giving us some peace of mind while traveling for so long.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Sara provided for our four cats over Christmas. As a cat-only sitter, she brings a level of expertise and intuition that is immediately apparent. She was extremely thorough and attentive, and her years of experience with cats really shines through. We highly recommend Sara and will absolutely use her services again!
