I'm Regina | Cat Sitting in Grand Prairie, TX

As a lifelong cat mom, caretaker, and freelancer, I am here to help with the experience to do so! I'm currently a mom to two special-needs kitty girls that need a lot of individualized care, so I'm used to handling very serious specifics when it comes to cat care. One of them has limited mobility and needs daily bathing. The other has extreme anxiety and PTSD that I work very hard to help her manage. I adopted my first kitty friend at 9 years old and she was with me for 21 years. During that time, I also managed a feral colony in my neighborhood and felt very victorious with every T-N-R completed. I'm always so grateful when the patience and effort at winning over a new kitty friend pays off. I currently cat sit regularly for friends, clients, family, and neighbors. Every visit I make during your reservation includes a full freshening of food, water, and litter box. After that I accommodate any other requests you have and take a few photos of the kitties to include in my report that I will send you either before or just after I head out to my next visit. I spend the remainder of the time socializing with your cats at whatever their level of comfort is. If they are a scaredy cat or anxious, I respect that and let them choose how much interaction that they want. If they are a snuggle bug or love to play, then we're going for big purrs and the fishing pole game. I often use "floor time" when they are getting to know me, since I feel that getting down on their level helps them to feel more comfortable approaching me and let's me earn their trust. I've had a lot of success with scaredy cats this way! You never know, but it's always worth a try! If you have multiple cats inside your home that require "zoning" no problem! I'm well practiced at keeping different kitty groups separated inside the home when necessary and when this is the case, I divide the social time in the reservation between the different groups in the most appropriate and fair way possible. I'm also very familiar with giving meds via transdermal application (lotion or gel rubbed in the ear) and pilling. I've also recently administered eye drops and liquid antibiotics dosed into the food. Of course not all cats share a docile personality, so success rate can vary, but I'm always willing to give it my best! Being trusted to care for your pets inside your home is incredibly meaningful to me and I take it very seriously. My home is my castle, and my objective is to always serve with love and respect, and I will treat your home as I would want mine to be treated. I do my best to leave no trace and follow the protocols you've put in place to the letter. I'm a thorough communicator, and I'm happy to comply with your preferences on how much or how little you would like to be communicated with while your pets are in my care. I understand that not everyone needs ALL the details, but some of us do. I'm a person who feels a natural sense of urgency where responsibilities are concerned and live by the motto, "Make it nice or make it twice!" My primary job is owning and operating my own small business since 2008. I design and manufacture adorable (if I say so myself!) novelty soaps, cosmetics, and gifts, as well as all of the customer care and order fulfillment that goes along with that. Serving over 25,000 customers of all kinds in that time, I feel like I've learned so much about providing exemplary service, problem-solving, the benefits of being thorough, and of being a self-starter. I also spend a couple of days a week caring for my elderly parents - attending to their errands, doctor visits, groceries, and general needs. this factors into my schedule, but doesn't cause any issue with my kitty appointments, and my schedule is fairly flexible. The area within my range includes: Arlington, Grapevine/Southlake, Euless/Bedford, Irving/Las Colinas, the more accessible parts of Dallas (anything off of I30 or I35 near downtown), and Grand Prairie.
