Pet care experience

I am a dog and cat purr-son

I’ve raised a cat of my own since she was a kitten, so I know all that comes along with taking care of a cat. Dog care comes naturally to me as well after being a pet sitter for 5 years. I am someone who will make your animal feel as though they are cared for by family.

Our 19-year-old cat was happy and well cared for by Zikra and her daughters. I will seek her help again when I am traveling next year.

I can’t recommend Zikra enough! She took amazing care of my cat for three weeks while I was out of town, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Zikra was reliable and attentive — she sent regular updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear my cat felt comfortable and well-cared for, which meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pet, Zikra is the one!

Zikra was wonderful with my two cats and I’m so grateful I found her and this service. I was in a real dilemma with what to do with my two cats while we went overseas for a month. Zikra was great from the start - so kind, responded quickly to my texts all the time, sent me updates and best of all my cats warmed up to her fairly quickly and they were well taken care of the whole time. It was such a relief to know they were doing great while I was on vacation, thank you so much Zikra!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m knowledgeable about everyday pet care and will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, litter box care, playtime, and your cat’s normal routine. I provide a clean and comfortable environment and give pets plenty of individual attention and affection to every furry guest that stays with me. I’ll also send regular photos and videos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience and respect and take their well being very seriously.

A typical day

I love spending quality time with the cats I care for! Depending on their personality, we can enjoy playtime with their favorite toys, gentle interaction, cuddles, or even just relaxing on the couch together. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and activity throughout the day while also giving them space when they want some quiet time. I’ll follow their normal feeding routine and have their litter box cleaned daily, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Cats
Zikra can host up to 3 pets per night
Every pet is different, so I appreciate knowing about their personality, routine, or any special instructions ahead of time. Please let me know about their feeding schedule, favorite activities or toys, habits, things they may be afraid of, and any special care they may need, and I’ll be happy to accommodate the best I can! I do my best to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible while you’re away.
