Cat care experience

Hi! I'm a cat lover with over four years of pet sitting experience and two years of experience volunteering in cat enrichment at a local animal shelter. I've had my own cat for a year and a half, so I know firsthand the ins and outs of feline care. With my love for cats and attention to detail, I make sure each kitty gets the personalized care they need to feel right at home! I hope to create a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for your kitties :)

Shailja took really good care of our 3 cats, cuddled them and played with them during our week away from home. Highly recommended!

Shailja was a great catsitter! She was communicative and gave detailed updates and lots of pictures. She took great care of my cat while I was gone.
