About Us
Jessica Fritschle
Founder
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.

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.
