Hi, I’m Alissa — the human behind The Cat Whiskerer
I’ve been caring for cats since 2018, building long-term relationships with both cats and the people who love them.As a cat parent myself, I understand how difficult and guilt inducing it can be to leave your pet behind. I follow each cat’s established routine, move calmly and respectfully through your home, and provide thoughtful updates after each visit so you can fully relax while you're away.I’m fully bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates, background checked (available upon request), and a CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International.I keep my schedule intentionally limited to ensure every home receives steady, attentive care.You’ll find pictures of past kitty clients throughout the site. Every image is shared with permission.
Booking & Getting Started
New clients can begin by submitting a New Client Inquiry . I will reply within 24 hours.Once I confirm your details and answer any questions, you’ll receive a link to create an account through my booking platform, Time to Pet.From there, you’ll be able to enter your cat’s care information, review service details, and submit your first visit request. Once a booking is in place, we’ll coordinate a time for a complimentary meet and greet.
Not quite ready to book? You’re always welcome to reach out here with questions.Current clients: You can access the client portal here to submit visit requests, view your schedule, or update your information.
Meet & Greet
A meet and greet is complimentary with a reservation. It takes place in your home and usually lasts about 15–30 minutes. It’s a chance for your cat to meet me with their safe humans nearby.We’ll go over your cat’s routine, including feeding, litter care, medication if applicable, where to find supplies/cleaning materials, etc. We’ll also review any household preferences and I'll get a set of keys/access info from you.I’ll guide you through everything I need to know, so there’s nothing you need to prepare in advance.
If you decide not to move forward afterward, you’re welcome to cancel the reservation at no charge — no explanation needed. I’m also happy to help you find a sitter who may be a better fit. The most important thing to me is that your cat receives the very best care.
During Your Trip
Once your trip begins, I’ll follow the care routine we’ve outlined and keep things calm and consistent at home.After each visit, you’ll receive an update with notes and photos/videos so you know how everything is going.If anything outside the normal routine comes up, I’ll reach out directly. You’re always welcome to message during your trip if plans shift or something comes to mind.
Boundaries
Your home is treated with care and discretion while you’re away. I keep things tidy, secure, and consistent so you can return to a calm, familiar space.If anyone else (cleaners, guests, or maintenance) will need access during scheduled visits, please let me know in advance so we can coordinate safely and keep your cat’s routine uninterrupted.
After You Return
Payment is processed the day after services are completed. Payments are processed through Stripe on the Time to Pet platform.For future travel, your information and care details will remain on file, making repeat bookings quick and easy to submit through the client portal.
