Pet care experience

Cat mom that treats pet like family

If you’re the type of pet parent who wants their pet cuddled, loved on, groomed, and genuinely doted on, I’m your person. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve never known a time without them. I’m naturally very loving and protective, and I take pet care personally. I treat pets like family, not like a job, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else with your animal. I keep that in mind whenever I’m caring for someone else’s pet — I’m the type who will happily flood your phone with pictures and keep communication open so you always know what’s going on. Honestly, it’s a win-win: I get to enjoy spending time with your pet, and you get peace of mind while you’re away.

Yanique is such a good pet caretaker. She took good care of my cat and made sure she was fed well and was comfortable in her space. She kept me posted and was very sweet with my cat. Your pet would be in safe hands if she were to be taken care of by her☺️

Our kitties had the best time with Yani during our time away. She sent us photos and updates throughout the day which helped us ease our peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter :)

Yanique took such good care of Mac, was patient with him, and gave him lots of love and attention! She even did a little birthday celebration for his 1st birthday :) She did great with keeping me updated everyday and sending many pictures. I will definitely book with her again!

I cannot recommend Yanique highly enough. She watched my cat Lukas for a couple of months while I was preparing for an international move, and I'm honestly so grateful I found her. Lukas is not an easy guest; he's a big, independent orange Tabby who doesn't typically get along with other cats, and he arrived at Yanique's already stressed from a previous stay in a small apartment with dogs. At first he was growling when he got there, immediately claimed the master bedroom closet as his fortress, and made it very clear he was not happy. Yanique just let him be. She gave him space, earned his trust slowly, and by the end of the first week he was sleeping in her bed — exactly what he does at home with me. That alone tells you everything. She also has a couple cats of her own, and somehow Lukas, who has never been social with other cats, became very comfortable around them. One of the photo updates Yanique sent was of Lukas and the other cats sitting politely together in the living room in what looked like a candid meeting of sorts haha. On the care side: she noticed his eye goobers and cleaned them without being asked. Once he trusted her enough, she started cleaning his ears too. She fed him Branzino on one occasion and steak on another. She treated him like a member of her household, not a boarder, and it showed in every update and photo she sent. Lukas was genuinely thriving. On the logistics side, she was incredibly flexible. My move involved a lot of scheduling uncertainty and she never made that my problem — she extended his stay without hesitation and made herself available whenever I needed to bring him in for vet appointments. That kind of ease and communication is rare and made a genuinely stressful period so much more manageable. Yanique is a natural. If you have a cat with a big personality, she is exactly who you want. Book her. Thank you, Yani!!

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any quirks or sensitivities ahead of time. I also like to know your preference around introductions so I can keep pets separated or do slow, gentle introductions based on what makes your pet most comfortable.
