“I love that cats each have such distinct personalities that, when given the opportunity, will always shine bright. From sassy to chill, each one is unique and ultra special.”

About Shauna H.

I have had cats ever since I can remember. Some of my first memories involve cats. The first pet of my own was a cat who lived to 19. She was the epitome of calico and certainly had the attitude that some people equate to calicos and tortoiseshells. It wasn’t until years later that I decided to try fostering orphaned bottle kittens. Once I started doing that I “foster failed” a few times and it seems that whenever I need a new cat in my family one just finds us. With work, I love the challenging cats. Often it simply takes quiet moments just existing in the same space before eventually the kitty comes around and I’ve made a new friend for life. In my spare time I love to crochet cat toys and beds and take road trips and, of course, spend time with my dogs and cats.

What Clients Say About Shauna H.

“Have had the pleasure to work with the comforted kitty 3 times over the last year. Feel fortunate to have had Shauna assigned to my request for each occasion. Shauna is a compassionate caregiver who is more than capable. She is also dependable and trustworthy. I can recommend Shauna to anyone living in the Reno/Sparks area who may be in need of services provided by the comforted kitty.”

“We recently moved to a different area of Reno, and needed a new cat sitter. Shauna has become an excellent caregiver for our cat, Jitterbug! Bugs is a shy and secretive kitty who has ventured forth to know Shauna a little bit more each time she visits. I love that Shauna always sends photos of our somewhat-elusive cat! Shauna knows most of Jitterbug’s hiding places are, and does her best to interact with her when she visits, even if it simply means sitting quietly for our cat to come to her. It is nice to know that daily contact and care have been made. We travel a lot, and it is comforting to know that our cat is in great hands!”

“I am so happy with The Comforted Kitty! Shauna did a great job bonding with my cats (one is outgoing and the other is shy). I rely on her to take care of them, play with them clean the litter box, feed them, the whole works. She also brings in my mail and waters plants. I would recommend this service to everyone with cats.”

"I have been using this cat sitting service for several years. My cats are always calm and happy when I get home. My regular sitter, Shauna, brings toys and gets them watching cat TV! She's a gem. I've had cats for 20+ years in Reno and this is the best service!"

"The Comforted Kitty and Shauna are a fantastic service. This is the first time I ever used pros to babysit my cats while I traveled and it was so easy to schedule. Shauna came daily and sent me lots of pictures and updates. I could conduct my trip free of worry and my kitties warmed right up to Shauna. She's a kitty whisperer! Thank you so much and I intend to use this service again in the future!"

"I recently moved here from out of town and was really nervous about who would take care of me two kitties when I’m away. I found the Comforted Kitty online and their organization, including Shauna my cat sitter, is the only reason I feel comfortable leaving my two cats home while I’m gone. They acquire thorough background information on your cats including their needs, and I love how I always get updates when Shauna comes. She sends me pictures and paragraph updates on my cats so I feel at ease, and I get confirmation that they have eaten and their water has been refreshed. You can tell it is obvious they truly care about your fur babies. I also love how they specialize in cats so you know your sitter is experienced with kitties. I couldn’t recommend Shauna and the comforted kitty enough!!"

"It was a relief to have Shauna watch my little Cody. Shauna was punctual, fastidious, friendly, and professional. Shauna sent updates daily with pictures of my kitty. I chose to have Shauna stay overnight.   I would definitely recommend the comforted kitty."
