Professional Cat Napper Companion

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Tori and I'm from Seattle, WA, USA. I adore animals and love the idea of helping them while their humans are away. I'm also an avid traveler and am excited for the chance to really immerse myself in a place while experiencing new things. While I love Seattle and my life here, sometimes my studio apartment starts to feel a little small and I know it's time to shake up my routine and try something new.

Why they want to house sit

While I love to travel I really hate living out of a suitcase. House sitting would allow me to slow down and have a more immersive experience while really getting to know the area around me. It would also mean I can take a longer trip as I could work remotely from the comfort of a home.
Sometimes being in the same place all the time can hurt my creative process. I love the idea of bringing my sewing machine with me and quilting someplace new. Especially if I can meet any quilters near by!

Their experience

I've been a cat foster parent for my local humane society for the past few years. I've looked after kittens as young as 4 weeks to some very opinionated 17 year old ladies. Most of my fosters are older cats who just want a nap companion and sunny spot to curl up in. I've dealt with many different cat behaviors and am experienced giving different medications including pills, liquids, topicals, and inhalers. While my current apartment doesn't allow dogs, I did foster a large older dog for a year while in college and enjoy visiting my friend's dog every week!

What can they bring to the assignment

From my experience of being a foster parent I know I can provide an enriching environment for your little critter whether they're shy, opinionated, or incredibly friendly. I'm also connected to a community of animal behaviorists who I can reach out to on the off chance a situation comes up that I'm not equipped for.
