About Me
A cat-hartic cat sitter based near Queen's Park
Hi there :)
I'm Réka, an aspiring art historian currently working in exhibition management at a gallery in London. I'm from Hungary, hence the unusual name.
I fell in love with cats in my early childhood, when I spent the summers with my grandma, who always had about a dozen kitties. With cats, we understand each other on a deep emotional level, as we share major characteristics: we are both independent and introverted, love fish and long afternoon naps.
I have five years' experience with cat and dog sitting. Since I registered on this site, I've had the chance to look after more than 20 lovely cats in the neighbourhood for occasional drop-ins and longer overnight stays. As a teen/young adult, I had various pets (think everything in between fish and hamsters) so I'm happy to look after smaller/multiple pets as well.
Since I moved to London in late 2019, I've been trying to be part of the community here (despite the pandemic). I have been volunteering for an app to reduce food waste and distribute the surplus to those in need, and used to walk my neighbour's dog in my spare time. I like to help out wherever I can and would love to learn more from and about pets. My greatest achievement so far is domesticating a local squirrel.
UPDATE: I have been blessed with a furry presence at home, in the shape of a cat called Minna. To tend to her luxurious needs, I had to reduce my catchment area and I cannot do overnight stays anymore. All income from cat sitting will be spent on enriching the life of my lovely companion.
Usually, I start with a meet and greet with the owners and cat(s) involved to see how we get on and get a sense of the kitty's personality. I have experience with daily visits including replenishing the bowls, giving treats, caressing and playing with the pets, and supervising them in enclosed outdoor spaces (catio). If the cat is used to it I can consider taking them for a walk on a lead. I have experience administering medication (both solid and liquid oral meds), handling cats and putting them in their carriers for vet check-ups.
May it be a one-off visit or a regular service, you can count on me being punctual and giving my best. If you show me what I should do, I can probably manage it :)
