Pet care experience
In 2022, I fostered 5 cats over the span of 3 months and found it to be such an enjoyable experience that I adopted a kitten myself. My cat is very shy and fearful, so I’ve naturally developed a slow and gentle approach that has helped other shy cats be more curious and open to interacting with me, even upon first meeting! I've worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. I am adept at administering liquid/solid medication/eyedrops, and I have experience providing post-op care after both spaying and neutering. I am very detail oriented and will follow all care instructions with precision. Each visit includes a full 30 minutes of active quality time tailored specifically to your pet’s preferences, whether it’s playing, brushing, cuddling, or speaking gently to them while they’re warming up to me. Rover cards will include as many flattering (or silly) photos of them as I can take, depending on how wriggly they are!
Reviews
Talia took great care of Mochi and everything was flawless. Her photos were amazing as always, and I can tell from the photos that Mochi enjoyed interacting with Talia.
Talia is the greatest and my go-to Rover sitter! My cat Sawyer will definitely let you know if he is unhappy, and Talia makes sure he is well taken care of with lots of play time and attention. As a bonus, her visit photos are pro quality! She also rode to the rescue and hauled in a slew of packages that unexpectedly were delivered to my doorstep while I was away. I really appreciate her willingness to go the extra mile for both me and my beloved kitty - hire her and you and your pet will be very happy.
Talia has worked with us on several occasions and always is outstanding. We are very happy with her and continue to hope she’s available!
I almost think my cat likes me to travel so he can have a fun time with Talia! I've had her cat sit for me many times and she does a wonderful job - reliable, responsible, active player with my cat, and excellent care giver.
