Beatrice can care for
Availability
I am semi-retired which gives me flexibility. That said, drop-in visits work best with my lifestyle, whether you prefer I come once or twice per day. If you have only one cat, your cat isn’t very social, or you’d like me to come twice a day, 30-minute visits may be sufficient. If you have multiple cats, one who needs more company/play/special care, are outside my usual service area, or would like me to water plants or the like, an hour might be more realistic. There’s a discounted rate for one-hour visits.

About Beatrice K.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
As I’m offering drop-in visits only, I make it a priority to be respectful of your home (and home security) and focused on your pet’s needs and safety.
Information Beatrice K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know whether your cat has special health or dietary needs or if they have habits, preferences or hiding places you think I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to leave me their vet contact info and the location of their cat carrier…just in case. Thanks!
A typical day
I’ll follow your lead on your kitty’s needs and preferences (feeding and litter box details, whether they are allowed treats, favorite activities, toys, habits, behavioral quirks, medications or supplements, etc). Written instructions are always appreciated. Beyond that I’ll take my cues from your cat’s behavior, whether they want to play, be petted or brushed, have a cuddle, have a chat, or just be in their own space. Whatever they feel like doing, a big Thank You for your trust and for sharing your kitties with me! They make me smile and, quite often, laugh. They’re a delight!

Cat care experience
I would say longevity, consistency, communication and enthusiasm. I have years of experience taking care of cats, my own and others. I have roots in my community and no plans to relocate, so you’re unlikely to be searching for a reliable sitter after a time or two because I’ve left the Berkeley area. My extended family is also mostly local, so I’m around during holidays when others might be traveling. Also, I’m at a place in my life where I have the time and flexibility to prioritize care for your kitty(s)! Communication is important to me and I do a lot of it, so you will not be left wondering how things are going at home while you are traveling (unless you opt out of receiving messages and photos). Finally, caring for your kitties is not ‘just a job’ for me…they truly bring me joy, and I love looking after them!
Reviews
10/10 experience again!
My cats LOVE Beatrice and I can tell you there is no one else I would trust with them.
Beatrice is great, she was very thoughtful in getting to know our cats and understanding their needs, and was very caring and attentive in her visits. Thank you Beatrice!
Beatrice took really great care of Licorice during her drop-ins. She provided thoughtful reports and many cute photos. Definitely recommend Beatrice for kitty care!
