I have cared for homeless pets in shelters and fostered cats. I have been pet sitting for years. I adore all animals especially cats. Cats have such personalities, Its not a given that they will want you to pat them. Some cats are very friendly and others more reserved. Cats see right through and know if they want to hang out with you. I bond with cats. I show them respect, let them know I like them and allow them to come to me when they are ready. They always choose to hangout with me, some take longer others, they have their check lists. My clients offer me repeat visits and excellent references. I don't feel comfortable eating other people's food. Your pantry & cupboards aren't my business. Meeting your pets needs, is my business. I leave every home just as I found it, so please let me know where to find your cleaning products....
