Yep, She’s Still Traveling the World—But Now She’s Bossing Cats Instead of Hotels

So, what’s changed since she first spilled the tea on her traveling kitty gigs? Turns out, folks at immigration aren’t always as chill as the cats she cares for. Madolline had to cancel some plans because some parts of the world think even unpaid pet-sitting sounds like work (yikes). Now she only cat-sits where she’s got the green light to do her thing without drama.

She scored a working holiday visa for Canada so she could keep the pet-sitting party going without headaches. Sadly, the U.S. didn’t offer the same hookup, so no fancy visas for staying with cats there unless you’re officially 'working.'

Meet Henry and Josie, the Toronto stars of the show. Henry’s basically a snack ninja, stealing fries and eggs like a pro. Josie? She’s more of a blanket connoisseur, snoozing under cozy covers even when it’s scorching outside. Madolline got fan merch too - talk about celebrity cats!

Then there’s the fluffy dream team from Melbourne: Maisy and Klaus. These two were rescued as tiny cuties and now wreck boxes and chase birds like bosses. They’re a bit cheeky but oh-so-lovable.

One unexpected guest showed up during a Perth sit: a random stray cat appeared and rushed to gobble down food Madolline put out. Mystery cat alert! She tracked it down and made sure it got help, proving that cat-sitting can have surprises beyond the expected furballs.

Madolline’s also gotten pretty savvy about juggling all this. She managed to snag a remote job with a travel company while cat-sitting so she could pay the bills - and made some real friends along the way. So yeah, cat-sitting’s more than just naps and purrs; it’s a legit lifestyle now.

Not every cat is a cuddly dream. Madolline’s had to deal with some grumpy or tricky felines whose quirks weren’t shared upfront - talk about a surprise when you’re expecting a purring buddy and get a furry boss instead.

Also, some owners want the sitter to basically be a superhero without paying up - like no leaving pets alone for even two hours or footing bills. Madolline warns that pet-sitting should be a fair trade, not a secret side hustle for unpaid work.

Her advice for anyone thinking of giving this a whirl? Love pets, be honest about the job, and expect some healthy competition. It’s a fun way to see the world, but not quite as chill as just crashing on a friend’s couch.
