If there’s any dietary, behavioral, or time restrictions. My work and personal schedules are generally pretty flexible, so I can accommodate most requests within reason.

I leave out cardboard scratchers, make catnip tea, and keep a laser pointer handy. Mostly, I like to let cats explore and, though I make my presence known, let them come to me if they want company.

Experienced cat dad

Cat care experience

I was a cat dad for 15 years, and I miss having cats of my own, but I’m not ready for more just yet. Toward the end of their lives I was required to inject insulin twice daily, utilize special diets, administer eye drops, administer pills and liquid medications, and provide post-surgery care. During my time with them I learned to be attentive, gentle, and patient, even when they’re vomiting everywhere.

Robert did a great job with our cats! We got regular updates and pictures, and they both came home happy and healthy.

Robert was great! My cat is not good with new people but he knew how to handle it and sent me regular updates. I would book again.
