I'm the type of person who makes friends with every cat and dog I meet - given cats do take time to get to know. I cat sat for a very grumpy but loving cat, Popcorn, for 3 years (and co-shared the role for 10 years prior). My time with her included vet visits, ensuring she received appropriate surgeries, vaccines and medical care for end of life care. I've provided cat sitting help from a few nights (fostering kittens) to a few months to various other cats. I catered to inside & outside cats and their feeding rhythms. I grew up with a Dalmatian and during my 3 years doing disability support, I would walk my clients dogs, feed them, pick up their droppings and ensure they had food in the house . I've also provided support to a couple of puppies. I have availability most days and times, with a bit of notice. My special skill with cats: I can read their body language and respond appropriately. I follow their lead. With dogs, I am warm, and a person for them to rely on during stressful environments (though I ask you let me know what their triggers are).
