Señor Gato

Common questions about my service

• What do I have to do before the cat sitting period?

  Just these few simple things! Make sure that there is enough food, cat litter, and other supplies so that we can take good care of your kitties. Don’t forget the treats!

  Also, please provide the address and telephone number for your veterinarian and at least one emergency contact in case you can’t be reached in an emergency.

• What if the food and/or litter that I provide run out during my absence?

  We know that miscalculations can occur. If something like this happens, we will replenish supplies to last for the time of your absence and add the cost to your final invoice. This service has an additional cost that can be checked in our Services and rates page.

  Of course we will consult you before making any purchase.

• How long do the visits last?

  Standard visits: at least 30 minutes. Princess visit: at least 45 min. Diva visits: at least 60 minutes.

• What if my kitty is sick or injured during my absence?

  We’ll contact you (or your emergency contact) immediately to discuss the problem and to determine whether to take your kitty to your veterinarian.

  You are responsible for the transportation and veterinary fees + our €30 fee for bringing your kitty to and from the appointment.

• When do I make the payment?

  When you arrive home and verify that everything is purrrfect, send me a text. That way, I know your kitty is safe. Then, I will send you a Tikkie so that you can transfer the amount to my account.

• Would you water the plants?

  Of course! We are not plant experts, but we’ll do our best. Be aware: We have been known to kill basil!!

• When do I hand over the keys?

  The keys are normally handed over in the first meeting. We can, however, agree on a different time and place.

• How do I get my keys back?

  Normally, we agree how that will be handled before your absence. We can leave the keys inside your home or secure mailbox, or put them through your mail slot. If needed, we can return the keys after you return, at an agreed place and time.

• Do you do “every other day” visits?

  We no longer provide that service. We have learned that it is not safe and pleasant for the cat(s) to be left alone for more than 24 hours.
