Initial Consultation
Free of charge or any obligation, I will come to your home to meet you and your cats. We'll go through your requirements and your cats' routine, and complete my paperwork so that I have all the information I need to provide excellent care for your cats and your home. This meeting must take place at least 48 hours prior to commencement of service.
Daily Visits
Once, twice or even three times per day, I will spend a full 45 minutes (one hour if you have 4 or more cats) making sure that your cats get the love and attention they deserve. Each visit includes:
- food and water bowls washed and filled with fresh food and water
- litter box scooped and changed as needed
- cuddling, petting, playtime, brushing... whatever your cats prefer
- administer any medications your cat requires
- check your home for cat messes and clean up
- home security check
- I will leave a detailed note at the last visit so you'll know how your cat fared (I can also provide updates by phone or email to increase your peace of mind while you are away)
- take out the garbage on your scheduled pick-up day
- bring in mail and newspapers
- water houseplants as directed
- make your home look occupied by alternating lights, blinds and curtains, and turning on/off radio or tv as directed by you
- at all times I am alert for any changes in your cat's behaviour, physical appearance, eating or litterbox habits that may signal a medical problem
