Bobo Kitty

We did a Trustedhousesitter sit for Bob Kitty in Lake Oswego, OR from Nov 20-29, 2023 for Frances.  Bobo Kitty was an indoor cat that used to be an outdoor cat when she rescued him during a time she lived in Hawaii.  He was the sweetest cat.  He was very vocal but not in a bad way.  He just liked to vocalize that we should pet him or that he would like his treats.

Bobo liked having people around and so we were a good fit as we really didn't have to leave her place very often because one of us were almost always there while the other was going to the store or exercising.

Like most of our pets we sit, Bobo had a specific routine we had to follow.  It was pretty straightforward though.  When he got treats, he always got them inside a little snowman that he could rock and have them come out.  That was the only way he would eat his treats.  You couldn't just feed him them.  It was cute watching him fetch them from it.

Bobo had a lot of cat furniture to enjoy.  As it was cold outside, he would enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room and sit in front of that a lot.  He also liked to sit atop a cat stand by the front window when it was sunny out because he could watch the goings on from there.

We were instructed that he might make a mess or have an accident around his kitty box but during our 10 days, we never had an issue.  All of our house duties were basic and we really enjoyed our stay at Francis' place.  She is moving to southern California soon but if she needs a sitter down there (and the timing is right), we would love to sit Bobo again.

Review: "Jeanne & Ed were the best! They gave BoBo the attention he craves for. He is a very social cat & coming home after 10 days away I can tell he was well taken care off.  Next year we will be moving to San Clemente,California & would love if jeanne&ed come &house/BoBo sit again!"

Oscar and Honey Bee

We did a month long cat sit for my friend Dave.  We like to mix up between sitting for friends and family in addition to our pet sits on the apps we are part of.  In this case, we sat for Oscar and Honey Bee from October 15 to November 16 in West Linn, OR.

We already knew Oscar from before and so he knew us.  Bee was new to us but she was quite the lap cat.  They were both very easy to care for as they had kitty doors allowing them to come and go as they wanted.  

Both kitties were playful at times.  We would regularly have play sessions along with just pets.  They had very specific feeding directions but nothing too complicated.

In addition to Oscar and Bee, we represented Dave and Tamara at their farm produce program where they pay and get fresh produce each week from a local farm.  It was also autumn during the sit and so we did a lot of yard work to help them keep up.  We typically don't sign up for a lot of yard work as we tend to just focus on our pet sit responsibilities but each sit brings on something additional that helps the owners.

We had a great time in their home watching Oscar and Bee and miss them already.  As Dave is a close friend, we didn''t bother asking for a formal review but he is certainly available for references.
