Pet care experience

Work/volunteer animal experienced.

I worked at an animal shelter on both the shelter and clinic sides with cats and dogs, though I mainly focused on the cat room. I started out on the shelter side cleaning and doing adoptions and ended in the clinic on the surgical team so I've seen a bit of everything. I have two cats of my own and have had many foster cats. While I've never owned any dogs of my own, I've known plenty of people with them and most of them loved me and the rest at worst just ignored me.

Matthew did a wonderful job with my cat Porch. He is a good communicator and contacted me daily with a photo and a written update on how Porch was doing. Porch is not an easy cat to watch. He’s not been around a lot of people and he’s very spooky. He also takes medication for epilepsy. Matthew was not intimidated by any of this, and was attentive to Porch. His medication was given on time and reported to me. I would use Matthew again anytime. He is very accommodating.

Schedule

I currently work at Amazon and have a flex schedule, meaning I make my own schedule every week. I usually just work weekends since there's less traffic and almost never do a full 10 hour day. I can schedule weekdays if weekends are needed for pets though.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dedicated room just for other cats that aren't mine. Just got a new cat tree and covered bed for it and have various toys so they don't get overly bored. I can let them out to roam the house when I'm home if allowed.

Pets

A typical day

I like just hanging out if they like being held or if they're lap cats. If they like toys I use those to play with them so they don't get bored.

Since I have two cats I'd need to know how they are around other cats. Also let me know about any medical issues or if they have to use their own litter or food since some cats can be picky.
