Highlights
Pet care experience
✅Vet-assistant Cat Mom (WFH)🏥🐾
The love for animals runs in my family. I grew up with dogs, a cat, a parrot, and an aquarium of fish. Before getting my bachelor's degree, I worked full-time as a veterinary assistant. In addition to my medical background, I have hosted over 200 different cats on platforms such as Rover and TrustedHousesitters. I am experienced in taking care of cat of all ages, including those with special medical conditions. I am also pretty good at handling feral cats and making them feel more at ease in a new environment. I am the type of person who puts cats' needs before my own. I treat all my client cats as my own children. Their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I will send daily video updates to the owners and report on stool, urine, and appetite. As a cat mom myself, I spent lots of my leisure time reading about feline nutrition. I am familiar with most commercial food on the market in North America and continuously look into their ingredient list and nutritional analysis. I am always happy to help if you would like some dietary recommendations for your feline friend. Everything on my profile that says about dogs applies to cats. I also love dogs, and I am experienced in caring for them, but unfortunately, they are not accepted by our current landlord.

Ratings and reviews
Stacie took excellent care of our boy Smudge as usual. He enjoyed the attention, pets and brushes and she always ensures he has everything he needs. We appreciate you so much Stacie! ❤️
Stacie is a wonderful sitter, I trust her and her partner 100% with our cat Smudge. He gets lots of affection and attention while he stays with Stacie and she does an amazing job of keeping us updated with photos and videos!
Stacie took excellent care of our cat Smudge, as usual. We feel so content leaving him knowing he is so well cared for and Stacie keeps us updated with photos and videos which is lovely!
We feel very lucky to have found Stacie. Our cat Lightning has recently been diagnosed with CKD, so we were quite anxious about leaving him. Stacie was incredibly attentive and experienced. Even before the stay, she offered to visit us to meet Lightning and make sure she could administer SubQ properly, this gave us a lot of confidence right from the start. She didn’t just focus on whether he was eating, but really paid attention to how he was feeling — his energy level, comfort, and subtle signs of nausea🙏. She handled daily medications and SubQ confidently (I learned so much from her!), and was very proactive in flagging anything that might need attention so we could respond quickly. What stood out the most was how calm and intuitive her care is. She didn’t pressure him, gave him space, and let him settle at his own pace. He responded by eating on his own, exploring, and looking genuinely more relaxed. It really felt like he was cared for with a lot of attention and love. She also went above and beyond with multiple thoughtful video updates every day, which gave us huge peace of mind. For a senior cat, we also discussed emergency plans in advance, which felt very prudent and professional. Her home is a wonderful environment — bright, peaceful, and very well set up for cats. We feel very grateful for the care she gave Lightning and would absolutely trust her again❤️
Excellent. Caring and very attentive to the needs of our elderly (ands anti social) cat. Recommended.
Stacie takes great care of our cat each time we reach out to her. Always appreciate the updates we get and extra effort she puts in to make sure that our cat is comfortable and adjusting to new environment

Schedule
I currently working on my e-commerce business so I am almost always at home. I am the kind of person who puts cats before myself. I constantly check on the cats in my home from the moment I wake up till the last moment before I go to bed.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My partner and I live in an apartment with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (950sqf). The place is smoke-free and with plenty of natural light. All the windows are locked for safety. The place has AC and heat. I strictly limit the number of cats I host at a time, so your cat will get at least a room of space to themselves at all times. Cats in our home are spoiled. No furniture is off limits and no sitting on laps are ever refused. Individual room, litter box, toys, food and water bowl are provided for your cat for free. Everything you cat may need is available. However, we suggest bringing some of your cat's regular food because their digestive tract needs some time to adjust to new food. Finally, we do respect your pet and your rules. We are happy to uphold any boundaries that you might have.
A typical day
As an e-commerce seller, I spend most of my time in my home office. I will provide constant attention to your cat and play with them when they feel like it. I will not force your cat to interact if they are stressed and wants to hide. I will provide them with their personal space. I will send you at least 3-5 videos a day to keep you updated.
