What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process with new cat parents starts with exchanging detailed information through messages. I ask about the cat’s routine, feeding schedule, litter setup, personality, and any medical or special care needs. During visits, I focus on feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and calmly observing the cat’s behavior and overall condition. I always respect the cat’s comfort level and never force interaction. I provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured, and I communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to keep cats comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their home while maintaining clear and reliable communication with their parents.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I ensure safety and security by carefully following the cat parents’ instructions and maintaining consistent routines. I double-check doors and windows upon arrival and before leaving, make sure food and water areas are clean and safe, and keep hazardous items out of reach. I monitor the cat’s behavior, appetite, and litter habits during each visit to spot any concerns early. I never allow cats to access unsafe areas and always move calmly to prevent stress or escape. If there is any sign of illness, injury, or unusual behavior, I notify the owner immediately and follow their preferred emergency plan. I also respect the home by keeping it tidy, securing keys, and maintaining privacy at all times. My goal is to keep both the cats and the home safe, secure, and well cared for while their family is away.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Yes, I have experience caring for particularly timid cats. I always respect their boundaries and never force interaction. I move slowly, keep noise to a minimum, and allow the cat to approach me on their own terms. If a cat prefers to hide, I make sure they feel safe and undisturbed while still checking on their food, water, and litter. I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment and use gentle observation rather than physical contact. Over time, this approach helps timid cats feel more secure without increasing their stress.
