My Buddie will be a buddy to yours!
Pet care experience
I have a Youtube channel (@SomeBuddieToLove) with videos of Buddie. I make videos of cats that stay with me, so let me know if you're ok with this! If not, that's totally fine too :) Buddie is a very friendly cat who approaches newcomers and wants to play with them. If there seems to be tension between them, I have treats and toys to distract them, or can leave them in separate rooms. He does have FIV, but I have rarely seen him hostile to others. That being said, the cats can be separated to have no contact with each other if requested. I adopted Buddie over 3 years ago, and I love interacting with him and other cats! I also volunteer at a shelter by fostering cats that are stressed out and need a loving home. There's no such thing as a "bad cat" to me - they all love you back in their own way! I can provide periodic updates including photos and videos if requested, and can accommodate medication mixed in food (Buddie has arthritis so he also takes daily supplements). I have plenty of scratchers and toys around the house, and a lot of hiding spots if your cat is shy!
Reviews
We had Katie watch Uma since we were out of town. She did some drop-ins and we are really satisfied. I highly recommend her, Uma was calm and happy when we returned.
Such a great experience with Katie! This is my second time using her service, and I highly recommend her. Super responsive, timely, and most importantly, knows how to interact with cats.
Katie did a great job with our cat! Very responsive and reliable. Will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her!
Katie went above and beyond, was super patient and documented thoroughly.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm very attentive to anything that looks or sounds out of the ordinary. If the cats want their free time I relax on my own in a quiet setting to be on the lookout for anything. If Buddie and my client's cat don't get along, I would physically separate them in separate rooms.
Home
Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet
- Does your cat have fleas? - When was the cat's most recent check up, and is there anything I should look out for? (Taking precaution for my own cat) - Any allergies? Can they be given treats? - Any specific feeding schedule?
A typical day
I generally let Buddie interact with other cats, but I will often give them treats to help loosen up. I also have scratchers, toys, and a big cat tower that they can use.

Availability
I go into office a couple times a week. My cat is always around me, so I have no problem taking breaks from work and take care of his needs.
