West Hills Cat Sitting, about the owner

As you can see, I have always been a cat person. Growing up, we had two cats, who were an integral part of our family.

Many of you heard about or knew my Calico cat, Lisa. On 8/30/06, I lost her at the age of 20. She lived a good long life, and I miss her.

I am proudly owned by a sweet kitty I met while volunteering in Tylertown, MS, after Hurricane Katrina. She was rescued as a tiny kitten in New Orleans, in November 2005. I took care of her in the "Kitty City" section of the shelter, and she stole my heart. Her name is Katrina, and she's now four years old.

I started this business in September 2000, after a decade in the psychiatric research field. I have a bachelor's degree from University of Oregon and a master's degree from Lewis and Clark College. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and spent a year living in North Carolina.

Sometimes, I feel like I have the perfect job. I get to drive around visiting kitties! While it is a lot of fun, I take my responsibilities seriously. It means a lot to me that people are willing to trust me to care for their homes and beloved pets. I try to create a bond with each cat, and I certainly appreciate all their varied personalities.

I feel very fortunate to have found a career with such variety, heart and humor.
