Farley Pet Care is a locally owned, veterinary-led pet care company providing professional in-home pet care throughout St. Petersburg since 2017. We're looking for a dependable, compassionate Cat Care Specialist who genuinely enjoys working with cats and understands that exceptional cat care is about more than filling food bowls and scooping litter boxes. Our Cat Care Specialists take the time to understand each cat's personality, respect their boundaries, provide meaningful companionship and enrichment, and pay attention to changes in their health or behavior. You don't need to be a veterinary professional to join our team, but you do need to take animal care, reliability, punctuality, and the responsibility of entering our clients' homes seriously. About Farley Pet Care Farley Pet Care was founded by Erica McChesney, a Certified Veterinary Technician with more than 20 years of professional animal care experience. We specialize in professional in-home care for cats, small animals, and exotic pets, with a particular focus on senior and special-needs pets.
