My goal is to be your go-to sitter!
Pet care experience
My husband and I have been passionate animal advocates since adopting our first baby, a senior cat, almost 15 years ago. Our family has grown to 2 dogs and 2 cats who were all rescues as well as our beautiful almost 7 year old daughter. I worked as a pet sitter, animal behaviorist, and cat foster mom for years but took a few years off after my daughter was born. I am so excited to have the opportunity again to meet some new feline friends and their guardians. While I love dogs I feel my true strength is with cats so I am only accepting new cat clients at this time. Daily check-ins include house sitting activities like watering plants, taking out the trash, bringing in the mail, est. I take security and safety of both my clients babies and their home very seriously and have the experience and track record to back that up. My goal is be your go to whenever you have to be away. I want my clients to have peace of mind while they are away that their pet is getting plenty of TLC.

Information Shelly N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the general temperament of everyone I will be taking care of while you’re away. Special diets and medications are no issue for me but in those cases I require a meet and greet beforehand in order to properly provide the care they need
A typical day
While cats are often stereotyped as aloof they really are sensitive souls that require more than food annd water while their guardians are away. I meet every cat where they are at whether that’s a 20 game of cat and mouse or hearing a reassuring voice while sitting outside the closet door so they know they aren’t alone or forgotten.

I recently left my corporate job to be home with my family and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to once again work directly with animals. My new schedule means I’m available most days.
