Pet care experience

Civil servant ex-police cat lover

I am a civil servant working from home with plenty of spare time to take care of your loved ones! I am an ex-police staff member with an active enhanced DBS and SC Security Clearance. I have been a cat owner for 25 years, I currently take care of 11-year-old Mia - a cute domestic short-haired cat. I have successfully taken care of friends' and clients' cats on many occasions. I am happy to cover all aspects of cat care. This includes feeding, changing the water, cleaning the bowls and litter, giving treats, playtime, grooming, and administering medication if necessary. I can also help with special diets and provide transportation to the veterinarian if needed. I understand that some cats are not open to new people so giving them space and not forcing anything is crucial. I will keep you updated with daily messages, pictures, and videos as I know how important that is for cat owners. I am drawn to the job because of my deep affection for pets and the joy I derive from caring for them. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings and will stay for 30 minutes each visit. I will also be able to bring in the mail, water plants, adjust blinds or curtains, and perform other basic household tasks to give the appearance that someone is home. While pet-sitting at your place I will: * Stay for 24 hours and make sure all doors and windows are securely locked. 
 * Keep outdoor areas well-lit during the night to deter potential intruders.
 * If available, use security cameras to monitor both indoor and outdoor areas. 
 * Set timers on indoor lights to give the appearance that someone is home during the evenings.
 * Store valuables such as jewelry, electronics, and important documents in a secure location, such as a safe or locked cabinet.
 * Have a list of emergency contacts readily available, including the homeowners, local authorities, and a nearby friend or family member who can assist in case of an emergency.
 * Ensure all pet doors are secure and that the pet cannot accidentally escape.
 * Check-in with you periodically to update you on the status of the house and pet. 
 * Have a plan in place for various emergencies, such as fires, medical emergencies, or break-ins.

Artur came to our rescue when we needed urgent and immediate care for our 14 year old cat. She’s a tough cookie and wouldn’t take her pills easily, but Artur was very patient, communicative and persistent. We’re very grateful!

Artur was amazing with our cat Samsara! We received comprehensive updates everyday, and she was very happy and relaxed when came back. Artur has brushed her very thoroughly was very patient with her little «litter accidents ». Definitely recommend Artur if you need someone trustworthy to take care of your cat! Thank you

Arthur provided exceptional pet-sitting services for our cat, Muffolo, during the summer season. His professionalism and understanding of our cat's needs were truly commendable. Our cat tends to be wary of unfamiliar individuals, but Arthur demonstrated remarkable patience and respect for Muffolo's personal space. He consistently ensured that Muffolo felt comfortable and secure in his presence. In addition to providing excellent care for Muffolo, Arthur also kept us regularly updated with photographs and videos of our beloved pet. This thoughtful gesture allowed us to feel connected to Muffolo while we were away. Furthermore, Arthur went above and beyond his duties by watering our plants and collecting a parcels from our neighbors. These additional acts of kindness and responsibility further solidified our trust in his services. Based on our highly positive experience, we have no hesitation in recommending Arthur's pet-sitting services to others. We are confident that he will provide the same level of professionalism, care, and attention to detail to any pet entrusted to his care, and we will use again his services in the future!
