Cats Only 😻The Sitter Cats Choose

Most Rover sitters focus on dogs — but cats are my true specialty! While living in Florida, I worked for Meow! A Cat Sitting Company, which cared exclusively for cats. Now that I’ve relocated to NEPA to be close to my new grandbaby, I’m excited to bring that same dedicated feline care here. Over the years, I’ve worked with cats of all ages and personalities — from tiny 12-week-old kittens to wise seniors of 21 years. I was also lucky enough to share my life with Theo, my orange tabby who passed in July 2024. He had thyroid issues, IBD, and was deaf, which taught me firsthand the patience and skills needed for cats with special needs. Many of my clients have required long-term medications and insulin, so I’m experienced with oral, topical, and injected meds, as well as handling the not-so-glamorous side of cat care (like tricky litter boxes!). I take pride in making cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own homes. Whether your kitty is shy, sassy, or super social, I tailor my care to match their unique personality. ✨ A few things to know about my services: Visits are 45 minutes (longer available for a small upcharge if arranged in advance). I book on a first-come, first-served basis — dates cannot be held until confirmed on Rover. A meet & greet is required for all new clients, for everyone’s safety and peace of mind. I don’t charge for multiple cats, but there is a small additional fee for small dogs. If Rover’s pricing options don’t fit your exact needs, please reach out — I’m happy to create a customized care plan for your pets. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets cats and will treat your furbaby like their own, I’d love to help. 🐾 The “skills” listed on my profile are for felines, so please replace the word “dog/dogs” with “felines”. 😻

Max is reliable, great with the cats and made travel easier. She's also a talented photographer! Best photos of my boys ever! Highly recommend Max.

Max was wonderful! She took great care of my cat Rocky and kept me updated with videos and pictures. She truly loves cats! She also went above and beyond by communicating hurricane info, working an extra day, and surveying my house and grounds for damage. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Once again, my kitties were watched with the best care. They both enjoyed her visits and get lots of playtime and love. Max is the best!

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule and I am available most days and times of the week for drop-in visits, especially if scheduled two or more weeks out. The further out you book with me, the better I can accommodate your needs.

Cats
Elissamaxine (Max) can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
For your felines: I'd like to know if your kitty has any special hiding places along with what their favorite toys are. Are they 'treat' motivated? Are they climbers? Does your kitty have any special needs that I need to know about? I would love to know any specific needs your furbabies require so they can feel at home. Their safety is my number one priority.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
