Sarah can care for

Cats

Availability

Since I work remotely, I have some flexibility to go see your fur baby on my lunch break, but I prefer to not have to rush so I can provide them with all the love and attention they need (I tend to go over the 30 minutes, especially if the kitty is looking lonely or wanting a lot of attention.) I'm completely available outside of normal office hours, so just let me know what works best for you and I'll be there 😊

Safety, trust & environment

I'm well accustomed with providing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, playing with, and making your fur baby feel comfortable! I've cared for cats at all life stages, from kittens to almost 20 years old! I also feel it is very important to be respectful of your home, if I or your kitty makes a mess, it will definitely be cleaned up! Things should look exactly the way you left them (or even a little cleaner 😉).

Information Sarah J. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to tell me if there's anything helpful to know about your fur babies ahead of time! If they are shy or hesitant around new people, let me know any tips or tricks to gain their trust. A favorite toy, a favorite area to pet... Just let me know how I can make them comfortable and happy!

A typical day

First order of business is always to ensure all food, water, and litter is refilled and good to go (and then double checked before leaving). Then as the kitties warm up to me, I'm always happy to provide some attention, affection, and play time! Getting to pet and snuggle with them is the best part and I'm very good at getting kitties to like me 🥰

Cat Lover Ready to Help! 😸💕

Cat care experience

Certified Cat Lover 😸💕 I have loved and owned cats my entire life! I've previously helped with TNR and volunteered at various cat rescues, the most recent of which are Forever Fortunate Felines and Famous Fido. I have two fur babies of my own, Tink and Socks, and they are my life. I work fully remote so I am available after 5 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends (or on my lunch break if you're really close by!) It's really nice to be able to get out of the house and do something I love: meeting all kinds of kitties! I'm happy to help out however you need, and your fur babies will be in good hands!

Sarah is honestly the best sitter in this area. She takes really good care of my cats who are super picky, thorough, and super attentive to instructions. Another plus is she takes awesome photos. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah is the best cat sitter ever! She took amazing care of my cat, spending lots of time playing with him and writing detailed notes after each visit. She even helped with a bit of cleaning, which was such a nice add. I couldn’t recommend her more—she’s truly fantastic!

Sarah is such a star! I have had her do drop ins for my cat Aja twice now, and both times she has been so thoughtful and attentive. Aja clearly loves her, and she always leaves a ton of photos and a thoughtful summary after every visit, which I really appreciate. Can’t recommend her enough!

Sarah is amazing. This is my second time having her take care of my cats, and its been amazing. My cats are really picky too but they seem so calm and happy when I’m back.
