I'm Natalie | Cat Sitting in Burbank, CA

I have an immense love of all animals, but cats are really where my love runs deepest. Throughout my life, there have always been cats around, and I am currently a cat parent to two crazy boys: an 8 year old black Manx and an 11 year old Turkish Van mix. One was found as a stray as a young adult, and the other was adopted through a foster parent after years of going from shelter to shelter. They have both had their fair share of medical problems through the years, but those issues have made me very comfortable with administering oral and topical medications and supplements, adjusting feeding schedules and food quantities, and doing a lot of cleanup work. Now, they are an extremely spoiled pair of brothers who constantly make me smile and who make me want to work harder so I can continue to spoil them and give them the happiest, healthiest lives possible. I love my cats dearly, and I also extend those same feelings for any cat in my care or that I come in contact with. I have been a cat sitter for many family members and friends (I told you cats are always around :)) when they have gone on vacations or been away and needed someone to check in on their pets. I have experience caring for both young and older felines and am comfortable with all cat temperaments. I often cat sit for my parents, and they have a very finicky and feisty calico whom I have learned how to approach based on her current mood, which changes often. I also drop in on my sibling's two cats - one is extremely lovable while the other is quite shy and takes awhile to warm up to a person. I have checked in on friends' cats whose temperaments range from anti-social and cautious to friendly and unafraid. As a sitter, I approach each new cat slowly and let them give me a prospective sniff so we can get acquainted and I can see how they react to gauge their temperament. I am very patient with skittish kitties and don't force myself onto them in order to respect their boundaries, as those are very important in the cat world. I pay extremely close attention to whatever cat I am focused on, and as I get to know them more, I am able to pick up on issues that I see so they can be addressed as soon as possible. For example, when I adopted my cat Sherlock, within the first hour of having him in my home I realized he may have an ear infection because he kept scratching and pawing at one of his ears. I know I would want to be notified asap of any problem for my own cats, so I take that responsibility very seriously. In my spare time I enjoy all things horror and spooky-related, reading, doing escape rooms, and crocheting. I look forward to providing the best care possible for your pets and to making more feline friends!
