Catless cat lover

Pet care experience

I love cats! They're truly the best. Dogs are great - but mostly I'm seeking to help take care of feline friends, as I sadly can't have any of my own at the moment. I've been cat sitting semi-professionally for a little over a year now but have a lifetime of experience catering to their needs and quirks. I have experience giving oral medication to cats and have dealt with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I have somewhat limited experience with dog walking, but I can hold my own with the smaller ones and I'm not afraid of picking up a little poop. However, at the moment I’m more comfortable with smaller dogs (20 pounds or less), but any and all cats. Note: in order to save on gas and reduce driving time, I cannot guarantee specific times of arrival for bookings, only general times of day.

Lesley has catsat for my cats for 2 years and I've never had any issues. She's great with them and makes sure they're well taken care of when I travel.

I’m here to scoop the poop, pour the food, and make sure the cat in question is known how loved they are, even by a total stranger.

Information Lesley R. would like to know about your pet

Please write down as much info as you possibly can, whether on Rover or on a physical note or whatever. Even if we meet up beforehand and you tell me in person (which is still helpful!), I can’t remember everything - where the food is stored, how much food to give, EVERYTHING to do with litter, what to do with keys afterward, and anything and everything I could possibly need to know. There is no such thing as being too thorough!

A typical day

If you live in a building with buzzer entry and will not be providing me a way to get in on my own - a code, a fob, a key, etc - then please plan to keep your phone on you (fully charged, ringer on, and with service!) while you’re away. If that won’t be possible - and a 10 minute or so heads up on my end within the requested timeframe won’t be sufficient - then I will be charging an additional fee on top of the regular booking price every time I show up and can’t get in.

Availability

I am no longer doing Rover full-time but I do have a fairly flexible schedule - morning visits are a lot trickier now, but I can do my best. If you have a situation where it is absolutely imperative I be there in the early hours, please make that known ahead of time and we can try to work something out.
