I love cats, tech, and travel. I'm traveling around the US to enjoy all three!

My first cat was a little black kitten that fit in my hand. Since then I've been owned by a total of 8 cats (3 black) and cared for dozens. I have a soft spot for the cat that's a little shy or not feeling well. We speak the same language…

Ilene was an amazing house sitter. She took care of my home and my cat while I traveled out of the country for two weeks. During this time, she noticed that my cat had a huge bite on his back and she immediately contacted a local vet clinic to treat him right away. She took care of my cat during his recovery period and went out of her way to make him feel loved and cared for during his healing process. She brought him special toys and foods to make him feel happy during my time away. Ilene was great at communication and kept in regular contact with me during my trip and sent me pictures/updates. She has extensive experience working with cats and volunteered at a local cat adoption agency. It was very reassuring to know that my cat was in loving hands! I would definitely use her services again! Thank you Ilene!
