I'm very caring and clean, and want to ensure your pet has a safe, friendly environment to live and play in while you're away! I am happy to stay and play with your pet or take care of their food/water/litter box quickly so not to disturb them. I also don't live with my cat full-time (Freddie is at my parents house!) so your cat is less likely to smell my own, if that's a stressor for them. My buddy Freddie is a roughly 9-year-old black cat and is a very friendly dude. I love playing with him (he likes to "walk" me around the house by picking up his string toy while I'm holding it and go on the move). He also likes to hunt for mice and has left some for me, dead and alive, to find, so I'll be able to bring any living furry surprises outside humanely or get rid of victims, too, if your cat is the same way. I'm also used to cleaning up hair balls and vomit, so you won't come home to any surprises unless your cat leaves some last minute! I've never let any of my cats outside, even though some would relentlessly try (I'm very good at getting in the front door without letting the cat at my feet out)! Ultimately, your cat becomes my cat in your care :)
