Hi! I'm Aaria, a self-professed cat lady. 😊 I live in Corktown with my two beloved Ragdoll cats, Niles and Demi, and have relied on Pawshake myself for years when I travel and need reliable sitters for my fur-babies. I decided it was time to join this community of sitters and offer excellent care, companionship, and attention to your kitties as well. I have had cats my whole life, and understand that the unique character, preferences and needs of each individual cat are to be considered and respected when looking after these wonderful, playful, loving creatures, and know to respect your cat's boundaries with care and consideration. My goal is to take care of your pets as if they were my own. To that end, I make sure that your cat's litter box is clean, your home spotless, and that your cats have ample play time and attention. I have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities — from shy, anxious kitties who need extra patience and gentleness, to playful ones who crave attention and stimulation. My goal is always to make each cat feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. As someone who is both a plant lover and particular about her space, it is my utmost priority to make sure your space, pet and plants are properly cared for in your absence. I am happy to accommodate any special requests you have regarding your home. I work a hybrid schedule, which means I have the flexibility to accommodate your cat’s specific routine and needs — whether that’s morning check-ins, evening playtime, or a mix of both. I’m meticulous about communication and love sending updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. If you’re looking for a calm, experienced, and caring cat sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I’d love to help.
