Paws and Relax: Your Perfect RTP Retreat for cat lovers!
Introduction
Hey! I'm Faryal and live within the RTP area with my furrbaby Katniss. I work from home so Katniss is used to having someone with her most of the time and would prefer someone more of a homebody type of nature. She is used to having one person or a couple take care of her while I'm away. Unfortunately she is not great with kids or other pets. You will find a lot of cat-related items all around my living room and kitchen so yes I am a cat lady. I make sure the guest room+house is sanitized and properly cleaned before any sitter arrives so I do appreciate it when sitters also leave it in the same way when I return. I haven't traveled much because most of the time I'm worried about who can take care of my cat in a home she's comfortable in.

Voted Best Small Cities in America in 2013 & 2023! Perfect location that is safe and sound! You can hit up most spots in the RTP under 25-30 minutes! The airport is a short 15-20 mins drive! There is a shopping center and grocery store 2 mins down from the neighborhood! Shopping/restaurants are definitely all covered within this area! The main level has a guest master suite with a queen bed, small office nook with a water/coffee station. The second floor has a very cozy, homey vibe that I put a lot of time into decorating even though I just moved a few months back! There is a family/living room, kitchen, powder room, and a dining room. I even have an outside deck area attached on the second level. It's the perfect place to wind down or read a book. The third floor is where my cat's litter robot is that requires minimal attention, an extra guest room, and my office zen area that you're more than welcome to use to get your work done in.

I normally leave her at the most for 4-5 hrs max at a time if I have to be out of the house for a bit to run errands, etc. She gets wet food 2 times a day (breakfast & dinner) and a cup of dry food throughout the day as mini-meals. She does take some time to warm up to a new person and will be very shy/alert in the beginning. I don't know what she endured as a kitten till I adopted her, but she has had some trauma that makes her put her walls up. She's pretty lazy and enjoys sleeping for the most part, but she will enjoy playing if she's in the mood. She mostly hisses if you pet her in areas she's not comfortable with and does not like to be picked up by anyone new. If you're still petting her in an area she's not fond of then she will try to warn you by paw punch, and third time she'll scratch. That's normally her way of warning you. Hiss, punch, and then scratch. She does have an asthma problem and has an aerokat inhaler(similar to babies) that I would be more than happy to give details on how to give it to her and how much, when, etc...however she does not use it as much anymore.

Katniss is a beautiful, soft kitty who is a darling conversationalist. This was a rather brief sit, but she warmed pretty quickly and welcomed pets. Faryal has a lovely decorated, bright home with comfortable amenities and close to shopping, even some within walking distance. Thank for choosing me, it was great to get a glimpse of Raleigh!

It was SO lovely to meet Prashant and India over video and even nicer to meet them in person. They're such great people to look after your home and pets! I was at full ease this trip knowing they were taking care of Katniss and loved the daily updates. I wasn't able to get on my flight Sunday night, but they assured me Katniss would be taken care of the next morning as I made my way back. The house was fairly tidy upon my arrival however there were a couple misplaced items in the kitchen and was hard for me to find initially. My favorite part was how I made them a cup of chai even though I had barely packed and Prashant gave me 2 really cool chocolate bars. I highly recommend these guys! They're very sweet!

First-time pet sitter, first-rate care! 🐾💫 Kelly came into our lives at just the right moment, and we're paws-itive she was meant to be Katniss' guardian angel! She was SO GREAT from our first call to meeting in person. Initially I was nervous about leaving my fur baby behind, but Kelly's warmth, joyfulness, and professionalism put me at ease. Her attention to detail and loving touch made Katniss feel comfortable very quickly. Kelly, you're a lifesaver and a true animal lover - we can't thank you enough. (: please come back soon!
