Spike should share his secret with Nadia! Food apparently tastes better with a soaking wet hairband in the bowl! I think Shayna wants me to stay! Perhaps I should bring an extra flip flop for her to keep. Heeeee.
Usually when I arrived for visits, the upstairs kitties were each on a t-shirt in the corner of a couch! So cute. The kitties said "Thanks for the sleeping t-shirts, mom and dad and sis! We thoroughly enjoyed them!" Spike with his favorite toy, the hair band. Buddy never did get really comfortable with me this time. He mostly just stared at me. (Except when I was preparing wet food for him! Then he was rubbing up against my legs and purring!!!) Spike was hilarious with that hair band. He mostly just stared at it! Hah! Every time I tried to get a picture of Shayna, she charged towards me, wanting attention! So they're all very close up! How cute is Nadia in this box!?!?! This was just after Spike had a little treat one afternoon. Sooooo sleeeeeeepy. And the sunshine feels soooooo goooooood. Buddy was getting sleepy, too, but perked up when I started snapping shots of him! At my last visit, Nadia showed off for the camera! Hah! She looks like that cat from the Kitty Cat Dance video (the chorus part where the kitty is shown laying in about 10 different poses)! (Click on the link and watch it if you haven't seen it. It's my favorite!!!)
Shayna immediately charged towards me. And guess who else decided to be my new friend today? Nadia! Spike and Buddy are still not sure, though.... Buddy and Shayna were sitting on opposite ends of the couch when I arrived tonight. So cute! Buddy and Spike enjoyed their wet food again this evening.
Nadia even helped me make a video of her eating!
I finally got Buddy and Spike to play with a Cat Dancer I had in my bin of kitty toys! (I made sure to put it away before I left, though, because of Spike's track record of getting in trouble with things!)
I'd love to hear from you!

About Buggledoo Pet Sitting, LLC
Buggledoo Pet Sitting, LLC (pronounced "bug-uhl-doo" - it's Doodlebug mixed up! - and is a nickname for our Little Man) is a business that I established in May 2009 that provides pet sitting, dog walking and overnight pet/home sitting services to people and their pets in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area. I primarily service Crozet, Ivy, Batesville, White Hall, surrounding areas of western Albemarle, and Charlottesville. I may be able to provide services to other parts of Albemarle for an additional fee.
I have been a frequent customer of pet-sitting services in the past and love when my pet sitter communicates a lot with me after the initial consultation through notes, e-mails, voicemails, etc. I love coming home to a long note about my kitties and their antics while I was away, and I love hearing how the sitter has formed a bond with them and really cares about them! It's also nice to have the kitties act uninterested in my return because then I know the sitter has done a good job of giving them the love and attention they need! When the owners like communication as well, I like to give them udpates while they are away (via e-mail, phone, text messages or posts to my blog), rather than having them wait until they get home to hear how much fun we've had. My primary objectives in providing my services are to (1) shower the pets in my care with love and attention (including hearing my voice and receiving lots of petting, if the pet will allow), (2) keep the pets in my care as HAPPY as possible while their people are away, and (3) communicate with the owner through updates to my blog and detailed notes regarding each of my visits.

About This Blog
Welcome to my blog! This blog is the website for my business while I contemplate whether to create a "real" website. (In the meantime, I am trying to make this as user-friendly as possible!) I own the rights to use the following URL, but it currently just routes you back here to my blog: http://www.buggledoopetsitting.com/. Here, you can find pictures and updates about my pets and the pets I am currently visiting (and sometimes other random things on my mind). If I ever get a "real" website, this blog will be moved to a page on the business website dedicated to these updates. Please let me know what you think of the blog (and if you think a "real" website would be much better) through the comments, labels or by e-mail. I welcome any and all feedback (but I am a little sensitive, so please be kind! :)) (Please excuse my technical difficulties! I am slowly learning!)
