Lora Rouse is the owner of Cool Cats Professional Cat Sitting, LLC and she is devoted to providing her customers (both furry & human) with the very best that cat care has to offer.

Lora understands the importance of having true peace of mind that your furry family is happy and well cared for when you are traveling. It’s hard to relax and enjoy yourself when you are feeling guilty about leaving your beloved cats at home alone. She understands cats and she and her sitters take the time to get to know your cat(s) so they can provide the best cat care possible while you are away. She knows that no one is as good as mom or dad, but she is determined to be as close as possible for others and their kitties!

Lora is a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters(NAPPS), the ASPCA & SPCA of Wake County. She is certified in Cat CPR and First Aid and is a volunteer at the Goathouse no-kill cat shelter. She currently resides in Apex, NC with her husband Don and they are proud owners of 2 Maine Coon Mixed breed cats “Chief and Babe.”

Susan has been living in the Raleigh area on and off since 1989.  She has resided in Apex for close to two years.  She is a wildlife ecologist by training and is a certified bird bander.  Susan has been North Carolina’s chief hummingbird researcher for over two decades. She has had a life-long love of pets of all kinds. She has cared for everything from dogs and cats to fish and guinea pigs–even a red-tailed boa.  Susan is also an avid birder and backyard bird feeder.    Animals, quite simply,  bring joy to her life every day of the year.

Susan lives with her significant other Steve, his teenage, fish-obsessed son Zachary and a 13-year-old Puggle named Ozzie.

I am a native North Carolinian and I have lived in Wake County since graduating from NC State over 40 years ago. I now live in Cary with my husband Ben and our two cats, Max and Sadie. They rule our home! I have had cats nearly all of my life and simply cannot imagine a life without them. We also care for four backyard box turtles and several honey bee hives. I love all animals and wildlife, and I enjoy growing plants and flowers to attract songbirds, hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators to our yard.

I enjoy the beach, especially shelling and searching for sharks’ teeth, but our kitties don’t travel so I know how hard it is to leave furry babies behind. It is so important to feel confident that your pets will be cared for when you are away!  I will make every effort to learn what your kitty likes, and I will take great care of them and give them all the love, play, and attention they will allow.

My name is Nicole Collette and I am originally from Illinois, but moved to the Triangle area a year ago because I love the area. I grew up with dogs and cats, and before joining Lucky Dogs & Cool Cats I have done pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I currently have two cats of my own – Oliver and Bianca. I work full time as a Financial Analyst and am doing pet sitting because I’m an animal lover and can’t think of a better way to spend my free time. I  look forward to getting to know and spending time with your fur babies!
