Sari can care for
Availability
I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs. If your cat requires medication at specific times, I will do my best to maintain their established routine and ensure time-sensitive medications are administered as scheduled. During busy periods, such as holidays and summer travel seasons, my schedule can fill up quickly. Clients who book well in advance and cats with time-sensitive medication schedules receive priority when planning visits. While I cannot always guarantee an exact visit time, I will communicate clearly with you before your booking and provide a reliable visit window that works for both you and your cat’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I will make sure to follow your house rules, and make sure to double check your fur baby is inside before leaving your home. Please let me know of any safety measures during our meet and greet. Please, please, please let me know if your cat has ever swatted, clawed or scratched anyone.
Information Sari C. would like to know about your pet
1) Please let me know if your pet swats, claws or scratches either while playing or as a fear reaction, it’s better to know ahead of time. 2) If there's anything they're sensitive to or areas I should avoid petting, please let me know. 3) Please let me know if they have any contagious illness (like feline herpes), this will help me take the right precautions to not spread it to other kitties.
A typical day
A typical visit may vary depending on your cat’s needs and how many drop-in visits you’ve booked, but my routine usually includes: 1. Wellness Check – I always start by checking on your cat to make sure they’re doing well, behaving normally, and showing no signs of illness, stress, or discomfort. 2. Daily Care & Housekeeping – I’ll scoop and clean the litter box, wash food bowls before serving fresh food, and rinse and refill water bowls with fresh water. 3. Enrichment & Playtime – Every cat has different play preferences, so I tailor playtime to what they enjoy most. Whether that’s chasing wand toys, hunting toy mice, or interactive games, I make sure they get mental and physical stimulation. I also bring a variety of toys and thoroughly sanitize them between bookings. 4. Affection & Quality Time – For social cats, this means cuddles, brushing, treats (if approved), and plenty of attention. For shy cats, it may simply mean sitting quietly nearby and letting them interact on their own terms. Building trust is just as important as playtime. Before I leave, I’ll send you an update with photos and let you know how your cat is doing so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

Cat care experience
I’ve cared for cats ranging from playful kittens to senior cats up to 17 years old, and I understand that no two cats are alike. I take the time to learn each cat’s personality, preferences, and routine so I can provide the best care possible while you’re away. I have a special love for shy and timid cats. I know that new people and changes in routine can be stressful, so I always move at your cat’s pace and work to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable. Some of my favorite moments have been earning the trust of cats who normally hide from visitors and helping them feel confident enough to come out, play, and interact. For energetic cats, I’m happy to provide plenty of enrichment and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Whether your cat loves chasing toys, exploring, or simply receiving extra attention, I’ll make sure they get the interaction they enjoy. I am also experienced administering a variety of medications, including pills, oral syringes, inhalers, insulin injections, and transdermal medications. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions carefully and ensure your cat stays comfortable and healthy. I know our pets are family, and I will care for your cat as if they were my own. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and attentive care tailored to your cat’s unique needs.
Reviews
Sari was, once again, the best! Our kitties love her & she always has the best action shots. ❤️
Sari cared for our dear Dalton and Finzel while we went to Erie. She is an outstanding feline caregiver - she plays with the cats, and reads their moods and reactions so well. Her updates are detailed, and knowing she's taking care of my lads always helps me to enjoy my travels. Thank you, Sari!!!
Sari is a reliable sitter who really enjoys spending time with animals. I would hire her again.
Always takes very good care of my cat.
