🐈‍⬛❤️🐈 2 cats = 1 rate!

I absolutely ADORE cats!!! My second language is speaking theirs. Cat-ease? Feline-ish? Meow-ian? Whatever you call their language, I am fluent!🐈‍⬛ 🐈I guess this makes me a cat whisperer? I am patient & non-threatening, allowing all cats to chose when they are comfortable to approach & what type of attention they would love to receive-always on their terms! If you would like worry-free care for your beloved felines, I'd love the opportunity to provide it while you're working, socializing, traveling, or any time you need assistance🐱 💫I keep my calendar up-to-date & currently booking through August 20! Booked through July 11. Summer dates are booking quickly, don't delay! 🐈🐈‍⬛DROP-IN VISIT > 30 or 60 minutes Going on vacation or a long weekend trip? Or does your cat spend the day alone while you work and/or go out? Either way, I would love the opportunity to provide for all their needs in your absence! Would he/she love playtime or attention? A few treats? How about pets or ear/chin scratches? Though our feline friends can be left for a day or more, many crave companionship & would benefit from & be happy to receive a visit, any time you are away. I can provide fresh water, food, *medication (*meeting usually required), scoop/clean litter box, leash walks & whatever is needed for ensuring your cat is well-cared for, whether during the day or a longer absence or vacation! 🐱Regular rate $28 (30) // $45 (60) 🐱🐈‍⬛🐈Multiple cats? No problem, 2nd is FREE! 3+ = +$5 🐱Weekly schedule rate = $30/30 mins (+$20 60 mins) up to 2 cats 🐱Second visit on the same day rate = +$10 (max 2x/day) & when available BONUS 🐢🐌🐍🐁🦜🐠🦎🐸 If you have other small pets, I am happy to check on them, refresh water, feed, spray snails, etc. for NO additional fee! MEET & GREET 🤝🐈‍⬛🐱**Complimentary** This is an option when you are requesting my service for the first time! I am always happy to meet you & your beloved cats to ensure a good fit for all, as well as provide an opportunity for you show me around their space & supply any necessary keys for access. Simply request service & indicate you'd like to meet prior to booking or first visit! **required for medication administration** Please note: If I accept your request for less than 5 days away, there may not be enough time for a meeting. You are always welcome to use a lockbox! ROVER CARD🐱📷📋 All services will include a post visit report which includes details such as how your cat(s) is(are) doing, how we spent our time, & plenty of photos! 🔑 KEYS: After an initial meet & greet, there are several options. 1. Lockbox at/near your place w/ code provided ahead of 1st visit 2. Allow me to hold a set of keys indefinitely for future visits 3. Request pick-up/drop-off of keys. $15/trip & needs to be requested at least 5 days in advance to ensure time to accommodate 4. Left w/ concierge as long as they will be available at time of each visit 5. Left w/ trusted business (w/in short walk) as long as open first/last visit 6. Provide access via automated entry w/ codes provided before 1st visit I visit many Brooklyn neighborhoods, including: Park Slope, South Slope, Greenwood Heights, Gowanus, Prospect Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Prospect Park South, Kensington, Windsor Terrace, and parts of Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy, Flatbush, Borough Park, & Bay Ridge. Rover recently updated service area map & it may not accurately reflect--if in doubt, please send me a message ahead of request to inquire! Thanks:) SCHEDULE: I am typically available to make visits between 9a & 6p daily. However, can accommodate as early as 8a and as late as 8p depending on day(s). Not always available for 2x/day schedules. Please include preferred time frames as well as verification of location with nearest train stop to expedite your request! Note: Rover may suggest you add multiple sitters to your request because they are only concerned you book, not with whom. But that is not necessary & actually quite frustrating to receive as a sitter. If you choose me for your pet's care, I will respectfully answer as soon as I am able, typically within minutes unless I am with other cats/dogs, engaged in a personal activity, away from phone, or sleeping. I appreciate the opportunity to reply & am happy to see if I am able to make your requested visits. Please don't be a 👻 Thank you!

Wonderful sitter! I loved that Kara came over before the visits to meet our two cats and also to see where all the supplies are. She is very communicative and sends great updates. I felt at peace knowing my boys were in good hands w her while we were out of town!

Kara did a great job caring for my 2 cats! In advance, she came to my home to meet them (and me), learn about their routines and preferences, and get the keys. She was thorough when talking about her pet sitting expertise and her schedule for drop ins for my booking window. Then while I was away, she sent updates after each visit with pictures showing that they were enjoying playing and relaxing with her. I came home to happy and well-cared for fur babies!
