purrycreatures.com - Care Services

Each cat is unique. Whether your fur babies are social or shy, food-motivated or finicky, living their senior years or just starting their purry adventures, caring for them in their own home means you can rest assured they are safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Purry Creatures services are available in western San Francisco neighborhoods.

DAY VISITS

I'll visit your cat(s) during the day for 30 minutes in your home. Care includes essentials (food, water, and litter cleaning) and play or affection based on your pet’s needs and mood. Time-specific requests are accommodated when possible at no extra charge.

Medical needs are included at no extra charge if they can be completed during the 30-minute visit. This covers pills, liquids, topical medication, or injection when the cat is reasonably cooperative. For cats with aggressive resistance to receiving doses or lengthy medical treatments (such as sub-q fluids), a double-length visit may be necessary, to be confirmed in advance.

OVERNIGHTS

I'll visit your cat(s) in your home from night to morning. Care includes 10 hours of in-home presence, generally from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am, though this timing is flexible and the hours may be increased if needed. The extended stay of overnights is intended to provide anxious pets with consistent companionship and a sense of security by having a friend near so they aren't alone in your home.

Care services include essentials (food, water, and litter cleaning) and play or affection based on your pet’s needs and mood. Medical requirements during overnight visits are included at no extra charge.

All new-client bookings include a complimentary in-home orientation and key pick-up visit in advance of your departure.

All care visits include a daily email update with your pet’s status, as well as photos of your purry friends from my time with them that day.

All care visits can add complimentary grooming services on request. Care beyond general affectionate brushing may be requested for cooperative cats, including cleaning fur to remove undercoat and knots, nail trims, cleaning eyes, etc. to enhance the health of your cats.
