Jessica Fritschle

Founder & Supreme Commander

Hi, my life-long love of cats comes from growing up with them, I can't remember a time when we didn't have at least one cat in our house when I was a kid.

 

In 1998 I started working at a cat-only veterinary clinic as a vet assistant. Over the years, I progressed to the position of Head of Nursing in 2007 and then finally Practice Manager in 2014. I left full-time work at the clinic in 2018 to pursue higher education at George Mason University. And in the summer of 2022 I graduated with a BS in Biology! I spend my free time hiking, gardening, studying, quilting, and making sure my cat masters are happy. 

 

I currently live in the City of Alexandria with six crazy cats of my own.

Randi Kruger is a big fan of cats, and animals in general. With a 25 year career in Veterinary Medicine spanning everything from grooming to management, she is well acquainted with all that can go right, and wrong, with our pets.

When Randi isn't cat sitting she runs a kayaking business, as well as selling fiber and sea glass art on the web. She lives in Accokeek, MD, with her cats, dog, and human family.

Jess and Randi have been BFFs since 1998. Yes, we are that "old."

Alexis Findley

Cat-Sitter

Hey there, feline friends and cat parents! I'm Alexis Findley, your go-to cat sitter extraordinaire with over 7 years of experience in the veterinary industry. For the past 3 years, I've navigated the fast-paced world of Emergency Rooms and highly specialized intensive care units, honing my skills to ensure your fur babies receive top-notch care.

My passion for our feline companions goes beyond the professional realm— I absolutely adore cats, and there's a special place in my heart for our older, wiser kitties. Whether they need a gentle touch, a cozy lap, or just someone to keep them company, I'm here to provide the love and attention they deserve.

Outside of the purr-fect world of cat care, you'll find me immersed in the thrilling pages of a good book or creating delicious treats in the kitchen. When I'm not ensuring your cats are happy and content, I indulge in my love for suspenseful thrillers and the art of baking. It's a wonderful balance that keeps me energized and ready to spoil your feline companions.
