Renee S. Pet Care Provider in Seattle, WA 98109

As a life long cat owner and retired stay-at-home mom, I've decided to expand my life to include cat sitting for drop in visits in the area of Upper Queen Anne and nearby communities. I will gladly come downtown if you have a designated parking space for my use.
My philosophy on cat sitting: Cats are widely regarded as solitary or aloof pets, but this is far from truth. While cats love the pop of a can or the rattling of kibble, cats need so much more than having their food, water and litter needs met. They also genuinely need some predictability every day which involves affirming attention encompassing play, physical touch and silly vocal interaction to feel content and be healthy. When life requires travel, it's often best to leave your kitties home as they are usually upset by change in their boundaries and to most cats it's very distressing. Still, it's essential to provide them with a daily visit. While your kitty will survive if you leave them with an extra litter box, bowls of water and extra dry food, they won't do as well emotionally. It can take them days to lose their anxiety.
During the one hour visit with your cat you can be sure they will be nurtured, exercised, pet and communicated with while their best friend is away. With each visit, I will leave the litter box free of waste and fully change the box when litter seems soiled. Before I leave, your cat will have clean water and food dishes with fresh water, and food to your specifications. If your kitty "spits up" in an area of the home I have access to, I will clean up using the materials you provide, following your instructions. With each visit, I'll text or email you a picture or small video each time I visit so you can be sure kitty is content. I will always stay for the full hour your kitty deserves and be sure to give them the attention you want them to have. Please leave me a list of anything which you feel is important that your cat experiences.

*To date, I am not accustomed to administering medicine and do not feel comfortable doing so until I've had some experience.

*I can bring in packages & mail and water any plants during the hour, if you would like.
