I'm Holly | Cat Sitting in Milwaukee, WI

- I have had cats all my life and I currently have four tuxedo babies! - I volunteered at a no-kill shelter in my hometown of Albuquerque, NM for nearly a year walking dogs and socializing cats. I did this for 10 hours a week, including through the first year of the pandemic. - I only left my shelter volunteer position because I was offered a job as a veterinary technician at that same shelter in their clinic! We saw privately owned pets through our accessible low-income clinic, as well as performed TNR services for private trappers (and keeping/adopting out the kitties that were friendly enough, with the trapper’s permission), and provided care for all the shelter pets. During my tenure at the shelter, the whole clinic was certified in CPR for cats and dogs, keeping up with annual certification renewals. Finally, we also helped on the vet-care side of fostering animals, including prescription management, health checks, and placing animals in foster homes that were a good fit. - I also worked as a vet tech at an emergency clinic in my hometown for a year. - Because of my two-year experience as a vet tech, I am qualified to administer medications, including subcue fluids, shots, preventatives, and oral meds. - Because of my shelter experience, I am certified in feline behavior, especially FAS (fear, anxiety, and stress), and I can read kitty body language very well. - These experiences also taught me patience and calm under stress, so I am not likely to upset your furry friends if they are already stressed. - I am currently a nursing student, so my hours are flexible, but odd, due to my class schedule. - I am very comfortable driving in the cities and towns of Milwaukee, Greenfield, Wauwatosa, Waukesha, and West Allis, but I am also willing to drive to other places. - I am fully vaccinated for COVID, plus I have a booster (three vaccines in total). I also get my annual flu shot and have thus been vaccinated for this flu season. - I am willing to wear a mask, wash my hands, and/or hand-sanitize upon each visit if that is preferable - During my sitting visits I am more than willing to: take daily photos and send them with updates; scoop/change the litter; handle the food and water, depending on your preferences; of course play with the kitties with approved toys; take out any garbage that may accumulate; water any plants you may have (I have over 100 houseplants myself, so I’m very fond of plants and generally consider myself proficient at taking care of them! 😊 ); and finally, bringing in any mail that may come while you’re out!
