Cat Lover WFH Cuddles & Dedicated R
About Me Hi, I’m Dicken! As a lifelong cat lover and proud owner of two feline companions, I understand that every cat has a unique personality. I’ve developed the deep patience needed to bond with even the most timid or shy kitties. Because I work from home full-time, your cat will never be alone; they’ll have constant companionship and all the head scratches they desire. For boarding, I can provide a dedicated, separate room so your cat can adjust comfortably in a quiet, stress-free environment away from any household noise. What to Expect Daily Updates: I send photo and video updates every single day so you can see exactly how your cat is settling in. Patient Care: I specialize in slow introductions and respect feline boundaries to ensure they feel safe. Safe Environment: A private space designed specifically for boarding comfort.

Schedule
Because I work from home full-time, your cat will have constant human companionship and supervision. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to prioritize kitty care throughout the day: Continuous Supervision: I am physically present all day, which is perfect for "velcro cats" who need company or kittens who require extra monitoring. Flexible Play Breaks: I take regular "brain breaks" from my desk to engage in interactive play, offer chin scratches, or check on my guests. Dedicated Space: I have a dedicated boarding room available if your cat prefers a private sanctuary to decompress or if they need a quiet space away from the rest of the home. A Gentle Resident Host: I live with a shy but sweet domestic longhair British cat. Because he is mellow and reserved, my home remains a peaceful, low-stress environment—perfect for other shy cats or those who find high-energy dogs overwhelming.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
100% Indoor Only: For their protection, all guest cats remain strictly indoors in a climate-controlled environment. Cat-Proofed Space: My home is free of toxic plants (like lilies), loose wires, or small swallowable objects. Individual Resources: To prevent territorial stress, I provide separate high-quality litter boxes, food stations, and water fountains for each guest. Owners are recommended to bring their own food due to some breed's sensitive stomach.
Pets
A typical day
My day is structured around your cat's natural instincts: hunting (play), eating, grooming, and sleeping. Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): The day begins with fresh water refills and a thorough litter box cleaning. I serve breakfast according to your specific instructions. Since cats can have sensitive tummies, I require owners to provide their own food to ensure their digestive system stays on track. Mid-Day (Rest & Relaxation): After breakfast, it's "Cat Nap" time. I keep the environment quiet and let them enjoy their favorite window perch or cat tree. Afternoon (Pampering & Social): This is when I offer daily grooming and nail clipping sessions. If your cat enjoys being brushed or needs a paw-cure, I’ll spend one-on-one time making them feel like royalty. Evening (Active Hour): Just like the "zoomies" they get at home, I dedicate evening time to interactive play and mental stimulation before serving dinner and doing a final litter box scoop for the night.

- To provide the best possible "home away from home" experience, please share the following details when booking: Personality & Touch Preferences: Does your cat love cuddles, or do they prefer their own space? I offer daily grooming, face cleaning, and nail clipping, so please let me know if your cat is comfortable with being handled this way or if they have "no-touch" zones. Social Needs: Is your cat a "velcro cat" who wants to be in the same room as a human at all times, or are they more independent and prefer to be left alone? Boarding Experience: Is this their first time boarding away from home? Knowing this helps me prepare extra soothing measures (like Feliway or extra hideaways) for their transition. Medical History & Special Needs: Please disclose any past or current medical conditions. I need to know about allergies, physical limitations, or tendencies toward stress-related issues (like UTIs or over-grooming). Dietary Consistency: Because cats often have sensitive stomachs, I require that you bring their usual food. Please let me know their exact feeding schedule and any "must-have" treats! Unique Quirks: Do they have a specific way they like to be talked to? A favorite hiding spot? A fear of certain noises? The more I know, the happier they’ll be!
