Safety, trust & environment

As a cat parent myself, I understand the attention your fur friends need while you're away so they’re not lonely. I will be sure to tend with care to your cat's basic needs, such as daily feeding & clean watering, litter box attention, and as much play & petting time as your cat requires and allows. I'm also experienced with administering meds, whether it's pills, injections, food additives, or another specialty prescription. You can count on daily updates during each visit, ensuring the highest level of care and attention is being met.

Information Shari R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your feline companion requires any special attention or treatment during my visit - let's chat about what he/she enjoys and needs!

A typical day

I'm happy to keep your kitty entertained with attentive play and generous pets and chin scratches. I'll also make sure that they are fed their favorite meals & treats if allowed on your instruction. Litter will be monitored on every visit and boxes cleaned daily.

I've been a cat owner and animal lover since childhood, and have volunteered with multiple non-profit animal rescues in Los Angeles and Pasadena. I'm experienced with all types of cats & kittens, from elderly and medical-needs cats, to high-energy, playful kittens, shy guys and everything in between. You can rest assured that my years of experience and attention to cat care and socialization will shine through in every visit to care for your feline companion(s).

We were a little anxious about leaving our elderly cat for a trip, but Shari quickly put our minds at ease. She clearly has a lot of experience with cats, and her daily updates were thorough and reassured us he was in good hands. We highly recommend Shari and will definitely contact her in the future.

Shari is a wonderful sitter! She was very communicative and took great care of our cat and home. I would definitely trust her to watch our cat again!
