Who am I? I moved to NL from the UK in 2013. I am pretty introverted, and therefore quiet and calm. I work as an in-house accountant for a large company, mostly from home. Why cat-sit? I grew up with cats. I've had cats my entire life. I love cats. By profession, I'm an accountant but I much prefer the company of felines. I have my own little tuxedo kitty (or rather, she has me!) and I love to cuddle and play with her. I just adore meeting new cats, and always stop to say hello if I see one on the street! My availability I generally work from home so it's possible to have some flexibility. If you need visits at specific times of day, please let me know when you request a booking so that I can check whether my schedule allows that. I only work within a 2km radius of my location. What I offer Cat care I'm happy to cover all kinds of cat care, from feeding to cleaning litter trays, and from cuddles and play to simply being present in the same space as the cat (if they prefer to be left alone). I am comfortable and happy around any breeds or temperaments. Claws and teeth don't faze me. If a cat lets me know they don't want attention, I'm comfortable letting them be. If they do want attention, they will definitely get plenty from me! (Accidental poetry) What I can do during a visit: I usually spend half an hour per visit, but this is negotiable. I'll feed your cat dry food or wet food, either manually provided or via an auto-feeder I'll wash any used bowls, including water bowls, and provide fresh water I'll empty the litter tray daily, and clean it once per week (frequency can be discussed) I can provide any medication, either directly into the cats mouth, or in food. I don't do injections. Depending on the cat's temperament, I'll either sit there and let the cat come to me or I'll play, or stroke, or cuddle. Other services I'm happy to take care of other things during your vacation. For example: I can water your plants, as long as they don't require specialist care (I confess I'm not the most green fingered person, so delicate plants are best left for someone else!) I can collect your mail, and/or wait for packages if the delivery window is small. For an extra fee (negotiable), I can clean, dust, vacuum, do laundry or any other general household tasks you'd like completed whilst you're away. Other pets I'm also happy to look after fish, rodents or reptiles; as long as you can show me how they need to be cared for. I did once own a couple of bearded dragons, but I'm not a pro at caring for anything other than cats! The only pets I won't look after are dogs.
