I grew up with cats my entire life, and have ample experience caring for my own and catsitting for friends and clients! I absolutely adore every cat I meet and put every effort into making your kitties feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I understand how incredibly stressful it can be to leave your pet when going out of town, having experienced it myself, and so I aim to be as communicative as possible to make sure you and your pets feel comfortable. My previous clients can vouch that I send a lotttt of pictures and videos of their pets to them when they are away so they can rest assured that their pets are healthy & happy. My mindset is to give the best possible care while you are away, the same as I would with my own pet. Cats communicate a lot with their body language–I am always mindful of this to ensure I am interacting with them exactly how they prefer. If your kitties are cuddly and friendly, I'll give them as many pets as they want–if they're more reserved, I'll respect their boundaries and allow them to warm up to me over time if they wish. In addition, I have experience caring for my own cat with kidney disease. I am comfortable administering subcutaneous fluids (I did so every day with my own kitty) and topical ear medications. I am also well-versed in every possible strategy for encouraging reluctant kitties to eat, for those experiencing health issues that impact appetite, struggle to eat enough, or are generally picky!
