OUR TEAMMeet Our Team

The North Carolina Cat Experts
Cool Cats Professional Cat Sitting, LLC is dedicated to working with only the best, most caring, and qualified cat lovers. We only work with the best people and hold them to a very high standard!

What We Stand For

All of our Cat Sitters go through a very thorough screening, vetting, and questionnaire process before they are considered to be part of our team. We look for stellar references, a clean background check, a personal love for cats, cat care experience, reliability and a great character and moral compass. Our sitters also complete a shadowing orientation on client directives before they receive their first solo assignment. We can never be too thorough and YOU and your pets can never be too happy!

FOUNDER AND CO OWNER

Lora Lee Rouse

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.”

Cat Care Specialist

Bertie Beeker

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.

Dana Anderson

Hi, my name is Dana Anderson. I have been living in the Cary area since 1998 and have been working as a pre-school teacher most of that time. I was raised around many different animals while growing up. But my favorite were always dogs and cats and my household has always had at least one or the other or both.  I believe that they are very therapeutic and love to spend time with them. I live with my daughter, Brandi, cat, Dax, and a dog named Holly. In my spare time, besides spending time with my children and furry family, I love the beach, the mountains and enjoy getting lost in a really good book surrounded by my furry family! I cannot wait to meet you and your furry family members and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve!

Pet Care Specialist

Karen Hoover

Hello! My name is Karen Hoover and I have lived in Cary for 25 years with my husband, Dave. Originally from Rochester, NY, I moved to Chicago after graduating from college. After spending a few brutal winters there (even compared to Rochester!) we set our sights on our ideal place to live and fell in love with the Triangle area and everything North Carolina has to offer. We have 2 grown children and a sweet old dog, Mario. We also have a grand fur baby, a sweet and sassy cat named Nova! I’ve also had 2 other cats and 1 dog in my lifetime, and they have all been such an important part of our family through the years. It’s hard to imagine life without a furry friend!

We love to travel and when we do, we are so thankful to have reliable care for our pets. It brings us peace of mind and so I know how important that is. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets, and bringing that peace of mind to you!

Linda Annab

Hi everyone, my name is Linda and I’ve lived in the triangle area for over 47 years with most of that time in the Cary/Apex area.  I have a husband, three daughters, three granddaughters and two cats (Charlie and Louie).  I was raised in a household with dogs and birds but have had many cats since I was married over 40 years ago.  I worked as a Financial Analyst as a career but now that I have retired, I wanted to work with animals as they bring me so much joy and I know how important it is to find good and loving care.

My hobbies are gardening, reading, playing games and especially traveling to places near and far.  I know how important it is to have good care for my fur babies when I am away from home and I want to provide others the same peace of mind that their fur babies are in trusted and loving hands.
