Pet care experience

Experienced cat dad

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 took great care of my cat. Super responsive and helped my cat feel right at home. He followed my care instructions and ask questions if he wasn’t sure about something. He kept me updated each day and let me know how she was doing.

Great communication and a truly compassionate sitter. Managed to help our anxious boy come around and settle in to happy routine.

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.

Schedule

UPDATE 11/1/26 to 1/31/27: I have a friend’s cat that I need to watch until the end of January. He’s friendly with other cats, so if you think your cat can get along, feel free to reach out. I have ways to keep him separated and will be with prior bookings, but I am trying to give him more time on his own. I’ll be back to normal bookings in February. My normal bio: I live on my own in Pennsport, where I work from home 1-2 days/week. The other 3-4 days I go into my office in East Falls, though my hours are somewhat flexible. I’m mostly available in the morning before 10am and evening after 6pm, though I do still generally work from home on Fridays.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious, one bedroom apartment with plenty of room to roam. I am accustomed to feeding cats at regular schedules, administering medicine, cleaning litter, and, naturally, petting, grooming, and playing with them.

A typical day

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.
