Pet care experience

Lifelong cat dad at your service!

I've had cats since I was a child and am absolutely nuts about them. I specialize in taking care of any and all kinds of kitties. I've had over one year of experience with Rover and watching felines on a regular basis and it's been a pleasure. I can handle just about any situation. I fully understand it’s their world and we happen to co-habitat with them. There hasn’t been a cat I’ve met who I couldn’t get to warm up to me… eventually. Well, maybe one or two. But even then, I'll be "tolerated". Sometime you just need to let them do their thing and they come to you! Owner knows best, so I am at your kitty’s service 🙇‍♂️🐈🐈‍⬛😽 I see around 6-8 cats on a busy day generally, so I just ask for a few hours flexibility with the timing for visits as my schedule fills up often. However, I will try to stick to the agreed upon time slot as closely as I can. I'll always text with updates if requested or if things hit a snag during the day. I almost aways respond to new requests with in a few minutes, but occasionally it may take longer than 30-60 minutes. I WILL ANSWER YOUR REQUEST REGARDLESS. Thanks for looking at my sitter profile and reading my reviews. I look forward to getting a chance to meet both you, and your furry friend soon!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As far as dogs go, I can really only accommodate drop in visits and walks since Ive got two cats at home (It's been YEARS since they've had a dog brother). But long walks are always on the table! For cats, it's basically the same. I've got experience with feeding time, play time and UGH litter time. As I've said felines are my speciality, and I'm good at finding the best ways to engage and take care of your kitties.

Sebastian was great! He has two older cats himself so I knew he would take good care of my 18 year old kitty with kidney disease. He made friends quickly and sent lots of daily pics and updates. Sebastian was also the only cat sitter I found who was able to accommodate her surprisingly picky eating schedule and come by at 9pm to feed her. I’m extremely grateful for his kindness and flexibility, and I would happily book with him again.

Sebastian was so wonderful with our cats, and so communicative!! He would respond to any message I sent over within minutes, and was just so reliable and attentive to our cats. Will definitely be booking with him again!

Schedule

I used to work in the film biz and since it's been quite slow, and I've been cat sitting on Rover for over one year basically full time. Outside of caring for my own cats, I care for roughly 4-5 cats per week full time on a rotating basis. Available 24/7.

Cats
Sebastian can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
My experience with dogs is pretty limited so dogs who get along with most people are best. Younger dogs are more my speed, but I'm ok with seniors as well. Best they get on with other dogs as well. Cats, the more detailed your instructions, the better!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
