Originally I was a dog person because I grown surrounded by dogs but one day my teachers went on holiday for a while and couldn't have the cat with them. That's the first time I've done cat-sitting and every time they go on holiday I have been there for 3 years already.
What I like about cats is they don't need as much energy to play with or walk with as a dog but they still need our attention and can be cuddling. As well as if you are home alone there is always someone who waiting for you to be back home, to feed!
Nothing special I can do for your pets but they will love that simplicity! They will eat well, sleep well, poop well and clean. If overnight I'm sure I can be a friend so quickly till they come to wake me up in the early morning :-D
