Stress-Free Cat Sitting

My name is Lydia and my love of cats began when I was little and my parents adopted two kitties (one of whom is still around at the ripe old age of 15!). Besides being obviously adorable, I love how cats have such unique personalities and live life on THEIR terms. I finally adopted my own cat, a tabby I named Cashew, in March of 2019 and have been treating her like the queen she is ever since!

I’ve worked as a cat shelter volunteer at Animal Friends while I was a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also Red Cross Pet First Aid certified. Having to leave your cats alone while out of town can be nerve-wracking, and I want to ensure that anyone who leaves their cats in my care can feel at ease in knowing their cats are in good hands!

I currently work with medically complex kids at Children’s Hospital Colorado and my schedule is typically 10-hour shifts on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’d easily be able to stop by after work for a visit. On my days off (typically Thursdays and weekends) I’m available for twice a day visits.

I have been vaccinated against COVID-19 as of January 9th, 2021 but will continue to wear a mask and wash my hands thoroughly before and after all visits.
