Pet care is the anchor of my entire daily and weekly routine. My days start with morning feedings, checking water bowls, and doing a thorough first pass of the litter boxes so everything is clean before the day begins. Throughout the day, I build in dedicated blocks for active enrichment—whether that means interactive playtime with laser pointers and wand toys to keep them moving, or grooming sessions for cats that love being brushed. Because I spend a lot of time at my desk, I'm always around to monitor their behavior, offer quiet companionship, and make sure they are comfortable. On a weekly and monthly basis, my routine is heavily organized around preventative health and wellness. I stay strictly on top of recurring maintenance tasks, like administering topical monthly flea and tick care precisely on schedule. I also treat veterinary health as a non-negotiable priority, keeping clear track of upcoming wellness exams, tracking booster shot timelines, and ensuring food and pantry essentials are consistently restocked. Caring for pets isn't just a checklist for me; it's a seamless, natural part of how I manage my environment every single day.

About Teri L.
Safety, trust & environment
My approach to pet care is completely tailored to the specific service selected, ensuring your home boundaries are fully respected and your cats feel entirely secure. For Drop-In Visits:When I visit your home, my focus is divided equally between strict environmental maintenance and dedicated socialization. I immediately handle the physical essentials: thoroughly scooping the litter boxes, wiping down the surrounding area, washing food bowls, and replenishing fresh water fountains. Once the chores are handled cleanly, the remaining time is dedicated entirely to your cat's specific psychological needs. For social cats, this means focused, interactive play sessions with their favorite wand or laser toys. For shy or anxious cats, I respect their boundaries completely, sitting quietly nearby to offer gentle, non-threatening companionship so they never feel forced or stressed. Regardless of the service, every single booking includes real-time, comprehensive updates with clear photo confirmations detailing exactly how much they ate, their behavioral mood, and bathroom habits so you have total peace of mind.
Information Teri L. would like to know about your pet
With each booking, it would be great to know ahead of time about your furry loved ones. For example: - Food routines and favorites: I like to know your cat’s exact feeding times, portion sizes, and little quirks—like if they prefer their wet food mashed up, kibbles in a puzzle toy, or if they need to be fed in separate rooms to keep them from stealing each other's breakfast. - Health and medication: Let me know if they have any medical conditions, upcoming vet checkups, or regular meds that need to be given on a strict timeline. I’ll also grab your vet's name and info just so we are completely prepared for anything. -Litter box setup: Where you keep the boxes, how you prefer the waste disposed of, and if your cat gets stressed out or picky when you switch up their litter brand. -Hiding spots and habits: Every cat has a unique personality and favorite hiding spot—whether it's the back of a closet, under a specific bed, or behind the couch. Knowing these helps me double-check that they are safe and sound without invading their space or stressing them out. -House rules and triggers: Let me know if there are specific rooms that need to stay shut, windows to leave alone, or if certain sounds like loud storms or vacuums frighten them so I can make sure they feel totally safe.
A typical day
Fun looks different for every cat, so I always tailor my activities to match their unique energy levels and age. For high-energy cats and playful kittens, I love setting up interactive "hunting" games using laser pointers, feather wand toys, and kicker toys to satisfy their natural predatory instincts and get them moving. If they are food-motivated, I enjoy introducing treat-puzzle toys or hiding small rewards around the room to give them some fun mental stimulation. For senior cats or shy rescues, "fun" might simply mean a calm grooming session with a soft brush, some gentle chin scratches, or just sitting quietly nearby while offering a soothing presence. I pay close attention to their body language to ensure they are actually enjoying the interaction and having a blast, never forcing playtime if they just want to relax. My goal is to make sure your cat gets dedicated, quality attention that leaves them happy, stimulated, and completely content.

Cat care experience
What truly sets me apart is my deep, lifelong understanding of cat behavior across every single life stage. I don’t treat cats as an afterthought or a "low-maintenance" alternative to dogs—felines are my absolute passion and my sole professional focus. -The Kitten Phase: Having raised cats from their earliest weeks, I understand the high-energy demands, socialization needs, and boundary-setting required for growing kittens. -Senior & Special Needs Instincts: Elderly cats hold a very special place in my heart. I have extensive experience navigating the gentle pace, subtle behavioral shifts, and quiet environments that senior felines require. I am highly comfortable strictly managing precise dietary restrictions, fresh water upkeep, and specialized medical or wellness routines. -Understanding Cat Psychology: Because I am exclusively a cat parent, my intuition is entirely attuned to feline body language. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who loves interactive playtime, or a shy rescue who needs someone patient enough to sit quietly across the room and let them dictate the pace, I adapt completely to their unique personality. When you book with me, you are getting a specialized feline expert who respects your cat’s routine, keeps their environment pristine, and treats their comfort as the top priority.
