Meet Us – Momo and Mandy!

Hi there! I’m Mandy, and I’m Momo’s mom first and a cat sitter second. Momo is my adorable grey ticked tabby, whom I adopted from a friend of a friend when he was just 6 weeks old. We’ve been through so much together—from a cross-state move to spending all of quarantine together, settling in with more family members, and even welcoming a few foster kittens along the way. Our adventures have truly bonded us.

Momo made me realize that I’m a true cat person. While my dream is to one day run a cat rescue, I simply can’t love all the cats I want right now. When I had the capacity to foster, I absolutely loved it, but I found it emotionally taxing—it was hard to say goodbye to each little one. That’s when I discovered cat sitting, and it turned out to be the perfect balance. I get to care for amazing cats and form special bonds, without the emotional weight of having to let them go permanently. It’s the best of both worlds! Plus, I’ve met so many wonderful cats in my community and made great friends along the way. Oh, and someone even pays me for this—wild, right?

After five years of cat sitting, I’ve decided to take it more seriously. I’ve had the pleasure of working with all kinds of cats—from playful kittens to wise senior felines—and I feel that my experiences and stories can help build a community of fellow cat sitters and cat lovers. I can also share my tips and tricks to administering oral and injected medications, caring for special needs cats, and offering comfort to senior cats in their golden years. With every new cat-sitting adventure, I’ve learned so much about the unique personalities and needs of our feline friends, and I’m excited to share that knowledge here!
