Safety, trust & environment
Safety First When it comes to your cat’s well-being, I leave nothing to chance. In your home, I take extra care to ensure that all potential hazards—like open windows, toxic plants, or tempting cords—are secured. If your cat has specific dietary restrictions, medical needs, or behavioral quirks, I strictly follow your guidelines to ensure their routine is uninterrupted. My goal is for your cat to feel as secure and cared for as they do when you’re home. Building Trust I know that trust is at the heart of inviting someone to care for your furry family member. I take my responsibility seriously and prioritize clear, consistent communication. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see your kitty thriving in my care. Whether your cat is outgoing or shy, I’ll take the time to bond with them at their pace—earning their trust (and maybe a head bump or two) along the way. Creating a Calm and Comfortable Environment At home or away, cats are creatures of habit. I do everything possible to keep their routine intact, from feeding schedules to playtime rituals. If I’m sitting in your home, I respect your space and ensure it’s as neat and tidy as when you left. Litter boxes are cleaned meticulously, and food and water areas are kept fresh and organized. My Commitment Your cat’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m here to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s work together to make sure your kitty feels safe, loved, and utterly spoiled!

A typical day
A Typical Day of Fun and Care with Your Cat When I’m caring for your feline friend, every day is tailored to their unique personality, preferences, and energy level. Here’s what a typical day might look like: Morning: The Purrfect Start Breakfast Time: I’ll serve up their favorite meal, ensuring the portions are just right and water bowls are refreshed. Morning Check-In: A quick health check—making sure they’ve eaten, are hydrated, and look happy and relaxed. Playtime: For playful kitties, the morning kicks off with energetic fun. Think laser pointer chases, feather wand antics, or zooming through a maze of cardboard boxes. Midday: Chill and Enrichment Relaxation & Companionship: Cats love lounging, and I’ll be there for those midday cuddles, lap time, or quiet companionship. For more independent cats, I’ll respect their space but stay nearby to keep them comfortable. Enrichment Activities: If your cat enjoys mental stimulation, I’ll bring out puzzle feeders, hide treats around the room for a “hunting game,” or set up bird-watching stations by a sunny window. Afternoon: Keeping the Routine Intact Litter Box TLC: A clean litter box is a happy litter box, so I’ll give it a refresh. Grooming (if needed): Whether it’s a gentle brushing for long-haired cats or wiping down fur to keep them looking fabulous, I’ll make sure they’re feeling their best. Interactive Time: Depending on their energy, we’ll do another round of play or quiet bonding time. Catnip toys, tunnels, or just chasing a ball across the floor—it’s all about what makes them happy. Evening: Winding Down Dinner is Served: Another fresh meal served with care, following any special dietary instructions you’ve shared. Evening Snuggles or Solo Time: For the cuddle bugs, it’s time for head scratches, purring, and winding down together. For the more independent types, I’ll make sure they’re set up in their favorite cozy spot. Final Check: I’ll ensure water is topped off, litter boxes are clean, and your cat is ready for a peaceful night. Extras: Throughout the day, I’ll keep you updated with adorable photos and little stories of their adventures, so you’ll feel connected even while you’re away. Every cat is unique, and I adapt my care to make sure their day feels as normal (and fun!) as possible. Whether they’re a playful kitten or a chill senior, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for.

Cat care experience
Hi there! I’m Anke, your friendly neighborhood cat sitter and aspiring cat whisperer. If cats could leave reviews, I’d probably have a 5-paw rating by now. I’m here to make sure your furry overlord is happy, healthy, and completely spoiled while you’re away. What Makes Me the Cat’s Meow? Medication Ninja: Is your cat a master of hiding pills in the most unpredictable places? Challenge accepted. I’ve got the skills, patience, and stealthy moves to make medication time as smooth as a freshly groomed coat. Litter Box Warrior: While most people avoid litter boxes like they’re cursed, I embrace the challenge. Deep-cleaning litter boxes is my oddly satisfying superpower—because no cat deserves a stinky throne. Cat Translator: Whether your cat is giving me the side-eye, demanding food at 3 a.m., or casually knocking stuff off the counter, I get the message loud and clear. I know when to offer cuddles and when to back off to avoid being swatted into next week. Enrichment Extraordinaire: Bored cat? Not on my watch. From high-speed laser pointer chases to cardboard box forts, I bring the entertainment so your kitty stays happy and engaged. Why Your Cat Will Love Me I’ll cater to their every whim (within reason—I draw the line at being their butler). I’ll keep their feeding schedule sacred, their water fresh, and their favorite napping spot undisturbed. Plus, I’ll send you plenty of updates, so you can feel like you’re right there basking in their glorious indifference. If you want a sitter who will love your cat like their own while keeping them pampered and amused, look no further. I’m ready to step in and make your absence completely forgettable. Let’s chat!
Reviews
Anke is amazing! I can tell she loves cats and cats love her, she helps with any cat related issues and very reliable.
This is my second time working with Anke and she was just as fantastic as the first time! She gives you detailed reports of her care of your pets, follows the instructions you leave, and sends lots of pictures and videos. She is friendly and flexible. I would definitely work with her again the next time I need pet care.
Anke did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties! She gave me updates after each visit on their food, water, litter, and play time and sent me tons of pictures and videos of them. My cats liked her and were comfortable spending time with her. She is friendly and flexible and made it very easy to book despite my request being a bit last minute. I would definitely work with her again in the future!
We strongly recommend Anke. She has a genuine love for cats. Besides, she is very reliable and communicate very well. She sent us reports and pictures every day. We had complete peace of mind leaving our rag doll cat with her. Our cat is very shy but she has been very patient with her. Thanks a lot Anke!
