How does the program work?
This program is broken down into a few sections to customize the appropriate approach for your specific needs. We recognize that every cat is unique and each situation is different. When you set up a behavior and wellness consult you can expect the following:
An in person consultation to discuss the situation, take a tour of the home, spend some time with the cats, and talk about options going forward. Depending on the situation, in person training may begin at the consultation.
A comprehensive written action plan tailored to your cat and their needs. The action plan will outline the topics covered during the consultation and next steps. This may include links to specific training articles/videos, step by step guidelines, products for your kitty and more.
One on one mentorship via text/email/phone as the action plan is put into place, troubleshooting, course correcting, and offering guidance as needed.
A one month progress check in. (check in time is approximate based on cats progress and needs)
*Note some cats or situations may require additional in person visits for training sessions, one on cat sessions, or environmental assessments.

Testimonials-
“My nine year old cat, Leo was having some issues with pooping outside the box. I couldn't figure out why since he's always been so good about it, but he seemed miserable and upset whenever he had to go. After trying some things on my own that weren't working, I reached out to Samantha at Love Cats Cat Sitting because it was time for some professional assistance! As soon as I reached out, she got back to me very quickly, asked some questions about Leo and then set up an in home appointment. The appointment went great! She spent at least an hour with us asking questions about Leo, any changes in our home environment and thoroughly fact finding about the issues we were having with him. Once she had all the information she needed, she gave us SO many wonderful ideas to implement. After her visit, she sent me a detailed e-mail of what we went over during her visit and sent links to products that she thought would work well. I went right to work getting the items she suggested. In a few days, she followed up and kept in contact with me the whole time. I am tickled to say that after implementing some of her ideas, my sweet Leo has not had not one accident! Samantha truly is great with cats and knows why they do some of the mysterious things they do out of the blue. I couldn't be happier with her services and would highly recommend giving her a call!”
