ᓚᘏᗢ Fun Fact: I only sit cats! ᗢᘏᓗ
Pet care experience
Your cats will love me! 😺 ----------------------- Howdy! I have had the great pleasure of loving and taking care of many different pets—horses, reptiles, fish, dogs, and cats. Don’t tell the other species, but I have a special connection with and fondness for felines. (When I was an infant, Isadora the Siamese spooned me while I slept in my cradle. So, I consider myself part kitten.) Cats are my first crush, but sadly, my doggos (senior chihuahuas with attitude) are not cat fans, so I’m seeking out other folks’ kitties to give some affection to. (BTW: My partner volunteers at Oakland Animal Services and fosters unhoused dogs, and most recently, bunnies! -- so, we are an animal rescue family.) I'm versed in pill giving, administering subcutaneous injections (insulin, etc), giving fluids; I also adore all my elder or special needs kittenz. I am highly responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented. I am COVID vaccinated. I provide photo updates, so you can relax and refuel!
Reviews
Patrick was great and took good care of our kitty. We loved the picture he sent when our cat finally came out!
Patrick is an all-star. Our kitties love it when he comes over. He is always very good at taking pics and giving us thorough updates
Patrick is incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive to our little ones. We hope to continue working with him for long into the future. Thank you so much!
It’s always comforting to know my pet is safe and well cared for when we are away. Thanks again Patrick!

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. :-)
Information Patrick C. would like to know about your pet
* 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?
A typical day
I enjoy being able to tune in to a cat's frequency—some are coquettish, some are reserved, some are social butterflies, some are goofballs, some like belly rubs, some prefer a feather toy, and so forth...Trust me that I'll give your pet the best lovinz for them.

Another fun fact: Cat Sitting is a full time thing for me; I'm no fly-by-night operation, and I love what I do! I'm available weekdays, weeknights, and weekends. I live near Piedmont Avenue, with easy access to the surrounding neighborhoods. I prefer local, so I can walk, but I do have a vehicle and take my kitty-care most anywhere. From Grand Lake to Piedmont to the Avenue to Temescal and beyond (Rockridge & South Berkeley, I'm looking at you 😺)! Previously, I opened and owned an art framing & gallery space (Panorama, on Grand Avenue); was a commercial photographer; and was a bookseller -- I also currently 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! >^•-•^<
