Experienced cat aficionado. $1 of my daily rate goes to a local animal shelter (Red Door or Tree House)! I've had family cats or cats of my own for most of my life, from kittens to senior. I currently have two young kitty family members. I know cat signals and behaviors and find them to be an absolute joy! I am happy to give your cat(s) all the attention they desire, through play, pets, exercise, or a lap to sleep on. Even the most anti-social cats tend to tolerate my existence. :) I've lived with dogs and rabbits previously, whom I occasionally cared for during housemate vacations or times away. I do not offer canine services on Rover. I have some experience feeding and giving oral medications to other animals including reptiles, rats, sugar gliders, and birds. One of my first priorities upon entering a home with a pet is to introduce myself to them, because not only do you have to trust me, but your pet(s) has to trust me too. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable so they can be themselves - play, snuggle, whatever your pet likes to do. For cats, I like to get on their level, on the ground, even sometimes rolling over on my back, signaling that I am not a threat. I let them approach me at their leisure, and I'll extend a soft hand for them to sniff. By understanding cat behavior and their signals, I aim to become a trusted source of play, pets, food, and safety for your furry loved ones.
