For Rover, this answer should sound **competent, calm, and specific**. Don’t make it too cute. People hiring you want to know their cat, house, keys, litter box, and instructions will be handled carefully. When I care for cats in a client’s home, I focus on keeping the cat’s routine as normal and low-stress as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, water, litter box care, medication if needed, play, brushing, and any household details. At each visit, I first take care of the essentials: fresh food and water, litter box cleanup, and a quick check of the cat’s overall behavior and comfort. I pay attention to appetite, litter habits, hiding, energy level, vocalizing, and anything that seems different from normal. After the practical care is done, I follow the cat’s lead. Some cats want play and attention right away. Others need quiet company from a respectful distance. I don’t force contact, pick up a cat without permission, or push interaction before the cat is ready. For house sitting, I keep the home tidy, respect the client’s space, and maintain the cat’s usual routine as closely as possible. I also send regular updates, including photos when possible, so the owner knows their cat is safe, settled, and well cared for.
