Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your cats in your home, it’s important to me to follow instructions carefully and treat your home with respect. I meticulously follow instructions for feeding, water, litter, medications, playtime, and any other specifics. I always make a point to share thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel confident that your kitties are safe, happy, and well!
Information Shirley H. would like to know about your pet
If your cats have any special needs, special preferences, or off-limits activities I should know about ahead of time, please be sure to let me know!
A typical day
I love to play hide and go seek, play with your cat’s favorite toys, play them videos of birds on my tablet, and pet them gently if your cat welcomes touch! If you cat is a snuggler, I looooove to snuggle.

Loving and Reliable Cat Care
Cat care experience
I’m a lifelong cat lover who genuinely enjoys making new feline friends and getting to know their unique PURRsonalities! I have over 15 years experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including administering medications orally, topically, and with an inhaler. When getting to know new cats, I take care to respect their boundaries and meet them where they are so I can earn their trust at their own pace.
Reviews
I've known Shirley for 10 years, and she is one of the kindest and most conscientious people I know. She's good with animals. They're drawn to her gentleness. She's always enjoyed spending time with our cats, and they feel comfortable with her. If you entrust your animal friends to her care, you'll be able to rest easily knowing they're in good hands!
I met Shirley through a mutual friend, and she graciously offered to help take care of my cats for a weekend. I was delighted that she not only fed and played with my cat but was happy to help with my cat's medications - she has asthma and needed an inhaler administration. I strongly recommend Shirley as a pet caregiver, and I'm lucky we have her to help out when we're out of the house!
I can’t recommend Shirley highly enough as a cat sitter. Especially for anyone with a cat who needs a little extra love and attention. She has cared for my senior cat on multiple occasions, and every single time, I left home feeling completely at ease. Her genuine warmth and patience showed in everything she did, and she always sent photo updates so I could see for myself how happy and relaxed my cat was. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further. Your cat couldn’t be in better hands.
