About Melissa

Hi! I live in the West End and provide kitty care in my area (Downtown Vancouver: West End / Coal Harbour / Yaletown). I do not have a car, so need to keep appointments to the Downtown Vancouver area.  

Cats have been a part of my life since I was a kid, and over the years, I've loved and cared for many. My previous kitties Boo & Pandora shared our lives for 18 joyful and cuddly years. Sadly, they both passed during the COVID pandemic.

After the kitties passed, I wasn't ready for new pets of my own so I became a catsitter :) I've been caring for my clients' cats since 2021 and love it. I have often cared for my neighbours' cats as well, including elderly kitties who need special care / meds. I can provide references, if needed. 

In April 2025, we welcomed Ziggy & Jet (brother & sister) into our lives (see photos). They have brought such joy back into our home! The catsitting adventures continue though..I'd love to meet your kitties!

For your cats, I offer:

- home visits (at least 30 minutes)

- feeding / watering

- litter cleaning

- cleaning of any messes

- basic medication adminstering (non-injectables) & asthma inhaler experience

- playing with and giving lots of attention if it suits their temperament :) I will be in regular contact with you by sending at least one photo update per visit, and will be available to take your cat(s) to a local vet in case of emergency.

I work full time during the day (8-430) Monday-Friday, but have evenings and weekends free. I would be able to come by before or after work on weekdays, and generally between 11am and 9pm on weekends (I am flexible on weekend timing though).

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends :)
