Cat Sitter provides in-Your-Home VISITS – Novato, Ca

What do your cats want in a cat sitter?

I’m a trustworthy, reliable, & friendly cat sitter with a genuine love for cats. My other attributes are clear communication with cat owners, being responsible and organized, and understanding cat behavior and health.

My visits are typically 1-2 hours, twice each day.

Cats dislike when their people go away and my expertise is helping them thrive during owner absence. I don’t offer short visits because cats need companionship which requires time.

I’ve been a cat sitter since 2016, trained through local & national organizations.

I carry the HIGHEST level of business insurance and bonding to protect your home and cats! 

What if your cat is uncomfortable with strangers? Adult cats CAN learn to accept & like people in their home, giving them positive experiences is the key! I see amazing transformations with my fearful cat clients. ALWAYS use a cat sitter who’ll work with your cat to be less shy and fearful. 

I’ve been volunteering with our local shelter since 2017. Helping shelter cats build confidence and become adoptable is a great job! 

Here’s what I’ll provide during during visits:

• I’ll use your toys and bring my own to engage your cat(s) with Interactive playtime 
• Hangout time for petting, scratches, lap time, brushing or just chilling. Many cats just want companionship and lap time
• Shy, and hiding cats are supported and encouraged. Usually a wand toy will bring them out from hiding.
• Food and water are monitored, refreshed and refilled 
• Litter boxes are cleaned and monitored each visit. I count poop piles and urine clumps. Cats deserve a clean litter box
• You’ll get a GPS tracked, time stamped report card each visit. Transparency provides reassurance.
• I send Videos and pictures of your cats
• If needed, I’ll take cats to the Veterinarian

Behaviorists recommend a minimum of twice daily visits. I’ve found two visits per day is critical for emotional and physical health. I’ve encountered situations that could have been dire if left 24 hours:
*Ant infestation into food bowls during the night.
*Illness requiring Veterinarian exam.
*Access to litter box became blocked
*Allergy attack requiring cone and medication
*Painful abscess that required treatment
*Sudden aggression in a two cat home
*Urinary blockage in male cat
