Vet-Tech Cat Whisperer
Cat care experience
Caring for cats has always been one of my greatest joys. With my background as a veterinary technician, I bring both professional training and genuine love to every cat I care for. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring health, and making even the shyest cats feel comfortable and safe. Friends and family often call me a “cat whisperer” because of the way I connect with cats—earning their trust and helping them feel calm and secure. I also pay close attention to the details that keep them happy and healthy, from maintaining a fresh litter box to sticking to feeding routines and providing plenty of gentle playtime and affection. My goal is to go beyond the basics, offering care that feels like home and giving your cat the comfort and attention they deserve.
Reviews
Words cannot express how caring and competent Karissa is. We would trust her with our human children if we had any left at home.
Hired Karissa for once a day drop ins for my 2 cats. Karissa did an outstanding job! Very clear communications and updates. Followed my instructions/procedures perfectly. I will definitely use her again in the future and will feel totally confident everything will be handled smoothly!
Karissa was responsive and always gave pictures and updates in a timely manner. She was flexible and came at different times depending on what we needed. I’d definitely use her again and recommend her
thank you so much for peace of mind while we were away!
