I make sure my cat has plenty of food and water and clean litter boxes. I will take my cat outside to roll on the cement patio but am always out with her. I do not have a fully fenced in yard (all the neighbors have fences). I am near a trail which is great for walking dogs! I love pet sitting while people are on vacation and am more than willing to hang with your pet majority of the day, but would not spend nights and need to run back and forth due to having to take care of pets of my own.
