About Colleen

Experience: 4 yrs

I have 4 years experience cat sitting. Ever since my family took in a stray kitten when I was 5 years old, I've shared my home with cats. Life without kitties would be a sad thing. To me there's nothing more soothing than a warm, purring cat on your lap or as entertaining as a cat at play. I've rarely met a cat who didn't immediately like me, but if they don't, given a little time, they almost always warm up to me. I'm responsible, playful and affectionate with animals and they respond well to me. Just to let you know a little bit about me and my services. I come to your house for a 30 minute visit, during which I'll feed them, give fresh water, clean litter boxes and I'll play with them and give plenty of attention and affection while you're away, if they want me to. I'm good at taking cues from cats and sensing what they want, so if your kitty isn't friendly I would still stay the entire time to see if they want to come out and play or get pets.
