Love pets and a lot of treats!

Hi! I wanna start with the fact that I have a cat - he is a ginger boy and loves to cuddle! Before I adopted him I had a foster cat who was completely opposite to Fredi and I recognised what kind of attention, what kind of treats/playtime was important for them. I absolutely love cats, they are such cute babies and such misunderstood loves! They have boundaries and we need to learn how to understand and respect them. Because once we do, they will absolutely love you! Even before this, I took care of a fair share of cats! Loved each and every one of them and always had them come to me first before I interacted with them! I pet them, play with them make sure they are given enough and a lot of attention!!

I will first try to make your pet feel safe with me before even petting them, it’s important that they feel safe and comfortable and we bond slowly and steadily. Lots of treat and positive reinforcement!!! LOTS OF TREATS hahahah

Shikha is an amazing cat sitter, she sent me updates and videos regularly and my car just loves her! I will definitely continue to count on her whenever I have to leave.

Shika was great with Teo! She took time to play with him and kept him clean and well fed. I got fotos and videos every day from her. Teo was happy and affectionate to her. I can highly recommend Shika ❤️

From the first moment of getting in contact with Shikha to the visit before my holiday until the last day I had a great feeling and it was not wrong. Shikha is very warmhearted, funny and caring person, which shows in the way she behaved around my cats and the updates I got all throughout my trip. She has done the tasks I assigned without problems I am looking forward to working with her again in the future!

Shikha hat zum ersten Mal auf unsere beiden Katzen aufgepasst und wir hätten uns wirklich keine bessere Betreuung wünschen können. Sie war sehr liebevoll, geduldig und einfühlsam im Umgang mit unseren beiden, auch wenn eine von ihnen anfangs etwas zurückhaltend war. Während unserer Abwesenheit hat sie uns regelmäßig mit Updates, vielen Fotos und Videos auf dem Laufenden gehalten, sodass wir immer wussten, dass es den beiden gut geht. Man hat gemerkt, dass ihr das Wohl der Katzen wirklich am Herzen liegt. Wir sind sehr dankbar, dass Shikha sich die Zeit genommen hat, und würden sie jederzeit wieder als Katzensitterin wählen. Absolute Empfehlung!

Shikha is an exceptionnally emphatic and reliable cat sitter! She has been taking great care of our two fur balls and really made sure that they are well. When we got back they were both super relaxed and I guess they really look forward to Shika's next visit ...

I wanna say that Shikha did an amazing job taking care of my cat Gattous when I was away traveling out of Vienna for a few days. Gattous can be a little picky with people, but he felt comfortable with her very quickly, which says a lot. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and little messages and that made me feel really relaxed while I was away. I could tell that Gattous was getting lots of attention and playtime and care. When I came back, he was happy, calm, and clearly well looked after. I’d definitely trust Shikha to watch him again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter in Vienna.
