Cats

As a freelancer, I enjoy having a side job that complements my main work. Recently, I came across Rover and quickly decided to create an account. I have a great love for pets, and pet-sitting is a perfect side job for me. I’m available for cat-sitting services and can easily adjust to the specific needs of each owner

Safety, trust & environment

I have extensive experience caring for cats. While they are independent and clean pets, they still require attention and care. Their litter box should be cleaned regularly, and they need to be fed at least 2-3 times a day. Some cats crave attention, especially if they’ve been alone for a while, while others prefer their space. It’s important to approach each cat individually and respect their boundaries, as not all are immediately comfortable with strangers. With patience and understanding, we can earn a cat’s trust and respect by providing proper care.

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your cat, it’s important for me to understand their food preferences and behavior to make sure all their needs are met. :)

A typical day

Compared to dogs, cats tend to prefer their own personal space, and I respect those boundaries. If a cat welcomes my presence and allows me to pet them, I’m more than happy to oblige. I’m naturally gentle, and when a cat gives me their attention, it means they trust me and feel comfortable around me.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for my cat since early childhood, as it was an important member of our family. She lived with us for 18 years, during which I learned a lot about cat behavior and their needs. Additionally, when my grandmother traveled, I looked after her two cats as well. I adore cats and find them to be among the smartest animals.

Alexandra watched our cat Mochi for drop-in visits and did a great job. She communicated well and made sure Mochi had the attention he needs. Would recommend!
