Cat care experience
Hi, I'm Simone. Thanks for visiting my profile! Originally from Minnesota, I'm a photographer currently working on a project and living in Joshua Tree. I adore animals more than anything else. Lucky for me, animals seem to love me back, and I connect easily with most cats and dogs that I meet. My two kitties Bert and Ernesto were the loves of my life and I had 13 loving, goofy years with them. I miss them so much. I'm not ready to have any animals of my own, which is why I would be delighted to spend time with and care for your animal/s. In the last year of his life, my cat Bert was sick. During this time, he required extensive nursing at home. I gave him daily meds including liquids and pills, and I administered fluids via subcutaneous injections for several months. I believe in maintaining a clean environment for animals so that they feel the highest level of comfort possible in their world. I know that cats need exercise, and I prioritize play if they are interested in engaging. I know how stressful it is to travel and leave animals at home. I am highly reliable and trustworthy, and your furry friends are my number one priority.
Reviews
Simone has cared for my cat for years. My cat trusts her and it at ease with her. Petsitting is not just a job for Simone, she truly connects with the cats and cares for their wellbeing and entertainment. Simone is the fun babysitter and I never feel guilty leaving my cat in Simone's care.
Simone's dedication to pet care and well-being is beyond reproach. Her pets are her family, as are those she meets and greets casually or otherwise. Simone is dedicated, responsible, and respectful of personal property. Enjoy a worry-free time away from home with your furry friends in her company.
About Simone L.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for cats in a client’s home, I aim to maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment that keeps your cat comfortable and secure. I’m careful with doors, windows, and potential escape routes, and I always check for hiding spots to make sure everyone is accounted for. I respect your home as if it were my own, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, or notes if that helps you feel more at ease while you’re away.
Information Simone L. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know the cats names, ages, personalities, preferences, hiding places and any useful behavior patterns or routines. Also, their food routines, whether they can have treats and/or a little catnip, litter box location and clean-up, important house info if relevant, and communication preferences.
A typical day
I love to play with cats if they're up for the exercise. I will also simply hang out with them and put on the tv or radio, to give them a little background noise for quiet relaxing.

Availability
I work independently as a photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to structure my day around caring for animals. Whether it’s a drop-in or staying overnight, I’m able to give your cat my full attention.
