“Shawna thanks so much for taking care of my cats. I know you were nice to them and they felt great under your care. I will for sure try to reach you back when we travel Again! Have a great week”
About: I have always believed that cats are the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and my deep affection for them has earned me the nickname "the cat whisperer" among friends. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time with your cat and tend to their needs. I am an interior designer and work from home most days of the week. My flexible schedule allows me to spend as much time with your cat as needed and make sure they adjust to my home comfortably during their short stay. I will care for your cats like they are my own! I'm a cat lover and have had many different cats over the years, young and old. I understand that each pet has different needs and will work with you to ensure I know how to best care for yours while you're away for your peace of mind.

“I’m very protective with my cats and only trust them with myself, my husband, or my sister. Which makes traveling a very stressful event for me. But Raagini and her husband have been wonderful and I felt confident leaving them in their care. They’re animal lovers and very conscientious and sensitive. I’m glad I found them and will definitely use them again.”
“Haven is amazing! She is very conscientious, always on time, very communicative and most importantly, she cares very much about the happiness and well being of your pet. She’s the best pet sitter we’ve ever used!”
