I'm Irene | Cat Sitting in Sun Valley, NV

I have a deep love and appreciation for all animals, but can't deny a lifelong affinity especially for those of the feline persuasion, from the very beginning having had an older kitty "sibling" (ultimately my ONLY sibling) that lived to be 18 years old and many kitty kids since then. I love the dichotomy you find with cats in their possessing an independent nature with minds of their own while at the same time the desire to give and receive love and affection if they have your trust. They have such individual personalities and I love their purr...it is so calming and therapeutic. I am also drawn to their similarities to their larger, wild counterparts. I currently am a cat mom to 6 cats ranging in age from 6-17. All are rescues (including 2 former ferals and 2 former strays that literally adopted ME) and are the joys of my life. Two have special needs. I have experience hand raising kittens, providing palliative care for chronically/terminally ill cats, managing cats prone to constipation and litter box aversion/mishaps, elder cat care and insulin administration to diabetic cats. I would love the opportunity to be able to provide your feline fur baby/ies with the same loving care I do my own during your time away from home. I understand deeply how important it is to be able to leave home for a period of time with the peace of mind knowing that your kitties will receive the loving care they deserve during your absence and how preferable it is for them to be able to remain in the environment they are most familiar with and feel safest in. Rest assured I will provide the absolute highest level of care during my time with your furry family member(s), regardless of how long or short our visits are. Cat sitting is not merely a side gig for me with my availability dictated by other life commitments, but a passion I am blessed to be able to indulge in in my retirement from conventional employment as a school nurse. 😻 • New clients can receive a $25.00 discount on their first booking of 3 or more days by using discount code IRENEB089449 at checkout. • Ask me about my referral discount program! • Free 30 minute Meet and Greet prior to your first reservation, either in person in your home or if you prefer via Zoom. • Feeding and treats (as desired), fresh water/refilling fountains, litter scooping, replenishment and tidying around litter box, play, lots of pets and cuddles, medication administration if/as needed, surveying for and cleaning up vomit (I know, TMI LOL!). • As time allows, mail/parcel retrieval, plant watering and garbage/recycle bins placed at curb for pick up during extended absences.
