Pet care experience

Cat lover with foster experience :)

Hi! I’ve been a committed foster of cats/kittens through One Tail at a Time (OTAT) in Chicago, giving me experience with many different types of cats of varying ages and breeds. I’m currently a grad student who loves having a cat at home to take care of and play with :) I don’t have any resident pets of my own - your cat(s) will be able to be comfy during their stay!

Astha took great care of my cat while I was away on a long trip! He was comfortable and had everything he needed. She is kind, patient, and was very understanding when we had a last minute change to our travel schedule. I would highly recommend for your cat care needs!

I've known Astha for over 2 years now and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She has a lot of experience caring for animals, including fostering kittens from a local shelter while they wait for adoption. She's very responsible and attentive to the needs of the pets under her care. I’ve always known her to be incredibly patient, gentle, and loving with animals. She’s wonderful with both my dog and my cat, and I completely trust her to provide compassionate care. Any pet would be lucky to be in her hands!

Astha is one of the most caring and reliable animal people I know! She has extensive experience fostering cats, including shy, senior, and special needs pets, and she is very patient and attentive with them. Any cat owner would be lucky to have her care for their pets!

Schedule

I work full time most weeks and have a varying schedule week to week. Small animals like cats who can use a litter box are the best fit for my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cat friendly apartment with a few scratching posts, numerous toys, and some essentials for food/water like bowls and slow feeders. I also have a litter box but can use whatever is best for your pet!

A typical day

I love to spend time with the cats I’m taking care of in the evenings when I get back from work and before bed. I have multiple toys at home, puzzle feeders for treats and food to engage cats, and a few scratching posts as well.

Cats
Astha can host up to 2 pets per night
I would like to know about any mediations your cat(s) need ahead of time, if they are litter box trained, and how much they shed.
