We've heard the horror stories firsthand and we're here to make sure yours is a happy one.

Leaving your cat or exotic pet  with someone who doesn’t truly understand their needs can lead to anxiety, missed meals, litter box issues, or worse. You might spend your trip stressed out, wondering if they’re okay.

BED & BREAKFAST

FOR CATS

A popular option for cats that love their morning or evening routine with you! Bed & Breakfast cat sitting is a 2 hours visit paired with a 2nd daily visit. Cats love showing us their favorite routine--treats here, brushing time there. The more time we give your cats the more relaxed experience they will have when you're away.

WHISKERCAM MONITORING SERVICE

We place a dedicated OPS-only camera to quietly monitor your cat’s wellbeing, making sure they’re eating, drinking, and using the litter box without added stress. Even if you have your own cameras, this one’s just for us. We remove it at the final visit so you can enjoy peace of mind while we handle the watching.

“They don’t just check in—they truly understand cats. My shy girl came out for them, which never happens.”
— Melanie T., Cat mom of 3
