ᓚᘏᗢ Fun Fact: I only sit cats! ᗢᘏᓗ
Your cats will love me! 😺 ----------------------- Booking now — reach out for current availability! I've been a full time cat sitter for a solid six years, and I am highly responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented. I provide loving, compassionate care, and send photo updates and detailed notes for each visit, so you can relax and refuel! My rates are 40 for one cat, 45 for two or more (before the fees Rover adds on). I'm versed in pill giving, administering subcutaneous injections (insulin, etc), giving fluids; I also adore all my elder or special needs kittenz. And, without apology or embarrassment, you'll see a lot of cat-face emojis in my communication with you 😹😸 I also want to note that my clients' privacy is very important to me -- In addition to your feline companion(s), you're entrusting me with your keys, your home, and belongings, and your trust. I appreciate this and value this immensely. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
All my work has involved customer care and service, and I strive to be both as professional and as caring as can be. I am bonded and insured, through Rover but also personally since I have many direct clients. Any pets who are under my care get the same treatment I would hope for myself—patience, kindness, unconditional love, and acceptance. And, oh yeah, treats. :-) I adore learning about my furball pals, from where they like their skritches and also where they don't -- Shy and elder kittenz are my faves to get to know 😸 I also want to note that my client's privacy is very important to me -- In addition to your feline companion(s), you're entrusting me with your keys, your home, and belongings, and your trust. I appreciate this and value this immensely.

Thank you Patrick for always taking great care of the cats. You are amazing!!
Patrick is awesome as usual!! Great with our 2 cats, including their medication. Is uncanny how he understands their personalities. Great photographer. We always look forward to his pictures and comments every day when we’re on vacation. Makes us very happy and at ease.
Patrick took great care of my cats Pumpkin and Lilo! My cats really liked him, and he provided great updates and photos with each visit!
Patrick is the best sitter in town! I can tell my cat misses him :)

Schedule
I'm a full-time cat sitter, so your feline furry companions are my life and blood! I'm no fly-by-night operation, and I love what I do! I'm available weekdays, week-evenings, and weekends... I live centrally in Oakland, with easy access to the surrounding neighborhoods, highways, and side streets (plus secret shortcuts). Piedmont and Emeryville, I have you covered! 😺 Previously, I opened and owned an art framing & gallery space (Panorama, on Grand Avenue, which did survive the pandemic shutdown); was a commercial photographer; and was a bookseller -- I also currently (occasionally) freelance in the digital realm, and pursue art making. If you are traveling for work or for holidays, or need a drop-in when you're not wfh, please reach out! >^•-•^<
- CatsPatrick can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- * How many times do you want me to visit your kitty per day? I recommend twice (am/pm), but will follow your request. * Does your kitty have any special diet needs? How often is feeding time? Are they social eaters or like to be left alone during meal time? If I bring treats, what should I definitely carry, and what should I leave at home? * Is your cat taking any medication? If so, how often will it need to be administered? * Is there anything I should know about your cat(s) before we play together? Are they shy? Not shy? Skittish? What kind of attention is best for your cat's needs? Any sensitive areas on your cat? Are they escape artists? Can they be picked up? Belly rubs, anyone?
