Pet care experience
Calm & Reliable Cat Sitter 🐈⬛
I specialize in cat-only care and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. During visits I make sure to cover everything your cat needs: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box scooping and monitoring • Playtime and enrichment • Calm companionship and cuddles (if they want them!) • Monitoring appetite, behavior, and litter box health You’ll receive photo and video updates during every visit so you always know how your cat is doing. ⸻ Boarding in my home: I also offer cat-only boarding for one family at a time. I only host one family’s cats at a time to keep the environment calm and stress-free. If you have multiple cats from the same household, they’re very welcome! My cat Cleo is a friendly and relaxed black cat who was raised around other cats. He enjoys playtime but is also very respectful of other cat’s space, which helps visiting cats settle in comfortably. Cats staying with me also have access to a large private bedroom retreat if they prefer their own space to relax and decompress. Because I only board one household at a time, I’m able to give visiting cats plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment during their stay. My home is set up specifically with cats in mind: • Two microchip feeders so cats can’t get into each other’s food • Two XL stainless steel litter boxes • A fresh bag of litter provided for each cat’s stay • Water fountain plus multiple fresh water bowls around the home • Large private bedroom retreat if your cat needs quiet time • Huge cat tree, scratch posts, and toys • Dedicated morning and evening playtime The private bedroom space includes its own litter box, toys, water, and climbing areas so cats can relax and decompress if needed. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment so your cat can feel comfortable even while you’re away. I also have a lot of experience with shy cats, since my own cat Cleo is a cautious pandemic kitty who prefers slow introductions. Every cat has their own personality, and I always let them set the pace for how much interaction they want.

Ratings and reviews
As ALWAYS, Stephanie was so caring and loving to our cat - Banana Pudding! The first time he was cared for by Stephanie it took him a little while to warm up to a new environment. This time during his stay he remembered Stephanie and her cat Cleo and just had an amazing time. 😻 I pray she will always be available when we need her. ONE THOUSAND stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I would leave 500 stars if I could! Stephanie is a total saint, and the process was seamless from start to finish. All of the photos and videos and notes were much appreciated! This was my first time leaving Sky with someone rather than having them come to my place, and I could not be more relieved that it went smoothly. May Stephanie’s pillow always be cool, may her phone always be charged, may every traffic light she approaches turn green! THANK YOU!
Stephanie is the best! She really loves the cats and it’s clear she enjoys taking care of them. Her care makes the process of traveling and leaving them behind so much easier.
Stephanie was amazing with my two kitties!!! I have a situation where my cats don’t fully get along, but Stephanie assured me it was no problem for her and won’t impact my kitties lives while I’m gone. She provides amazing videos and photos that I was showing everyone while I was away from them. Not to mention, my super shy baby got the courage to come out from under the bed and meet her on day 1, which is super unusual!! I highly recommend Stephanie for any cat visit needs and will personally be using her services in the future!
Stephanie did a wonderful job watching my kitty. She was very responsive and sent lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. She took the time to play with my active kitty and to introduce her to her cat Cleo! She was very thoughtful and attentive to the needs of my cat to make her feel comfortable while being boarded. Will definitely be rebooking with Stephanie ☺️
Stephanie took such wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. One of our cats is a bit high-maintenance and needs to be fed three times a day, and Stephanie handled the routine beautifully. Our other cat pouted because her humans were gone, and Stephanie was so sweet and creative with her, even bringing her breakfast in bed. We really appreciated Stephanie’s playfulness and ingenuity with both cats. She spent time playing with the little one and clearly paid close attention to each cat’s personality and needs. She was also extremely punctual, reliable, and thorough. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we are so grateful.

Schedule
I work from home as a writer and social media consultant, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to plan visits around your cat’s normal routine and ensure they are fed, checked on, and cared for at consistent times each day. Because I’m home-based, I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, and can easily adjust my schedule if something unexpected comes up. Caring for animals fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending quiet time with cats while making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your cat requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. When visiting your home I always aim to be respectful, clean, and attentive. I treat every home the way I would want someone to treat my own (will always take my shoes off). Before any booking I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can review your cat’s routine together — including feeding schedules, litter box care, favorite toys, hiding spots, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. During visits you can expect: • Detailed updates after each visit • Plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your cat is doing • Careful monitoring of appetite, behavior, and litter box habits If anything ever seems unusual with your cat’s health or behavior, I will communicate right away and take appropriate action, whether that means contacting you, monitoring closely, or reaching out to a vet if necessary. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can travel with peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
Every visit is centered around making sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and entertained while you’re away. • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box scooping and monitoring • Playtime to get those zoomies out • Calm companionship and attention at your cat’s pace My cat Cleo and I are big fans of interactive play, so I always make sure cats get some movement and enrichment during visits. If your cat prefers quiet company instead of playtime, I’m also very happy to simply sit with them and be a calm presence. I’m also happy to help with small home tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants or bringing in mail and packages.
