What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been caring for cats my entire life, both as a devoted cat owner and as a go-to sitter for friends and family. With years of hands-on experience, I understand feline behavior, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. While I’ve been providing cat sitting informally for free over the years, I’m now offering my services professionally to ensure cats receive the best care while their owners are away. My lifelong love for cats, combined with my attentive and gentle approach, makes me a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cat sitting because cats are my favorite animal, and I connect with them on a deep level. Each cat has their own unique personality, and I love earning their trust, whether through gentle companionship, playtime, or simply respecting their space. It’s rewarding to provide them comfort while their humans are away, ensuring they feel safe and loved. There’s nothing better than hearing a happy purr or seeing a once shy cat warm up to me. Caring for cats isn’t just a job it’s something I truly love and take pride in. The love of a cat is the most special type of love.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my most memorable experiences cat sitting was with my friend’s shy cat. While trying to coax her out of hiding, I noticed she seemed to be in pain. After some careful observation, I discovered that she was a polydactyl cat, and one of her extra claws had overgrown so much that it was embedded into her paw pad. I carefully trimmed the claw, and the next day, she was like a whole new cat! More playful and comfortable. It was such a rewarding moment to help her feel better, and it deepened my connection to her.
