Tara can care for

Cats

Availability

Cat sitting is my main focus, so I build my schedule around the cats I care for. Because of that, I'm able to be really flexible and reliable when it comes to visits and giving them the attention the need. You can count on me to be available every day and can come by in the morning, afternoon, and/or evening if needed. I can also stop by up to three times a day so your cat gets the care and attention they're used to. For cats who aren't on a strict medication or feeding schedule, I prefer to keep visits flexible or within a time window. Since I travel within a five mile radius in all directions, this allows me to plan my route efficiently.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your kitties right in their home so they can stay comfortable and stress free. At the same time, I treat your home with respect, making sure everything stays as you left it, and double check that the doors are locked when I leave, so you can come back to your kitties and your home exactly as you expect. Every visit comes with a little photo shoot for the cats who like showing off for the camera. For the more private cats who would rather stay in their favorite hangout spots or watch from across the room, I still try to grab a few shots even if they're not in the mood to model that day! I always try to get some cute updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away.

Information Tara P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your cat requires any medication, as well as any allergies or specific dislikes. I would also like to know if your cat is shy or has any fears so that I am prepared when I come to meet them :)

A typical day

I enjoy interactive play sessions using laser pointers, feather wands, and electronic toys. I like to use puzzle feeders and treat-dispensing toys. Sometimes, I hide treats or toys around the house. I also cherish quiet moments of petting and brushing. If a cat is shy I’m gentle and will let the cat exist in its own space. My goal is to offer a well-rounded, joyful experience that meets each cat's unique needs and personality.

Loving Cat Care 🥰

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Tara and I’m on this app just for cats! My whole world revolves around them! At home I have my girl Patty, who is truly my baby, so I understand the importance of having someone you trust to check in and give you peace of mind. Because of that, I promise to care for your cat(s) as if they were my own, and to give you the same kind of updates and peace of mind that I would want if I were away from my Patty. My goal is always for them to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while you're away, so when you come back they're happy, calm, and full of positive energy. 💕 I’ve been cat sitting for over two years now, and in that time I’ve truly seen it all. I’ve cared for shy cats who need patience and gentle love, playful cats who want nonstop attention, seniors who appreciate extra care, picky eaters who turn their noses up at dinner, and even the occasional cat who tries to bully the others away from the food bowl. I’ve dealt with messy litter box situations, anxious cats, and everything in between I am used to handling it all with patience and care. What I’ve learned throughout my experience is that every cat is completely different. Getting to know their personality and figuring out what makes them feel safe and comfortable is honestly one of my favorite parts of sitting. Some cats want space at first, some want to play the second you walk in, and some just want someone to sit with them for a little while. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with cats and making sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I try to create a calm, stress free environment where they still get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, but always at their pace. After doing this for a couple of years, I’ve gotten really good at reading their behavior and adjusting to what each cat needs.

10 stars!! I had a very last minute request to come feed my two newly adopted kittens, and she responded immediately and did way more than just feed them! She played with them and sent pictures and was just amazing!! Will obviously be rebooking when I need a cat sitter

Tara did such a wonderful job caring for our cat! She was very thorough and asked good questions initially to learn more about Gigi. It was great to get consistent updates from her and have good communication throughout.

Tara was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had for our cat! Our cat can be quite shy and we had just recently moved when we needed a sitter. Tara made him feel so at ease and he quickly warmed up and was acting like his cuddly, silly self. Tara was timely and very attentive to all of his needs. In addition to this, she sent such cute photos and also let us know right away when she noticed a maintenance issue in our apartment. We will certainly reach out to Tara for future sitting needs!
